Along with the second generation AMD Ryzen CPUs, we are getting the new and somewhat improved X470 chipset motherboards. We have been beating on the Crosshair VII Hero for about a month now and have figured out what we like about, outside of it being an excellent overclocker for the Ryzen 7 CPUs.

ASUS is a company that’s been in the DIY motherboard business for a very long time. The company is well known for its gaming and enthusiast-oriented hardware. This includes motherboards, monitors, laptops, workstation and server hardware, routers, and gaming peripherals. And now even AIO coolers with OLED screens, Delta headsets, and Thor Hammer PSUs! Of course, motherboards are what the company is primarily known for now although I believe they make more money off of monitors than anything else these days. Over ten years ago, ASUS created its Republic of Gamers brand to better target products marketed towards the gaming segment at the intended customer base. The brand has been wildly successful and, in a sense has been imitated by everyone else in the industry in one form or another.
