PERFORMANCE

The ROG Crosshair X670E Gene features a sixteen-pack power solution specifically grown to handle the multi-threaded muscle of AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series processors. Combined with a streamlined DDR5 layout, this nimble powerhouse dishes out hyperspeed performance. And ROG makes it as easy to access its natural edge through a suite of unique software and firmware technologies catering to beginners and veterans alike.

ROG OVERCLOCKING TECHNOLOGIES

Take Ryzen beyond the already impressive sum of its parts. Dynamic OC Switcher and Core Flex create additional frequency waypoints for single and multi-threaded workloads, allowing Ryzen to break boundaries and achieve peak performance in all games and apps.

AI OVERCLOCKING

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

DYNAMIC OC SWITCHER

Lightly-threaded tasks get fantastic uplift using AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), but all-core frequencies can be pushed higher via traditional overclocking. The Dynamic OC Switcher lets you use them both, dynamically engaging PBO or your preferred settings based on the CPU current or temperature.

CORE FLEX

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximize base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

ASYNCHRONOUS CLOCK

For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed. Drive CPU performance to its absolute brink while maintaining the stability of related clock domains.

OVERCLOCKER'S TOOLKIT

The ROG Overclocker's Toolkit is a powerful set of hardware-level controls to enhance your overclocking experience. Some are quick and easy time savers, while others offer masterful functionality to help you smash benchmarks and break records.

1 - RETRY BUTTON
Instantly initiates a hard reset with just a press.

2 - SAFE BOOT BUTTON
Instantly reset the PC and boot directly into Safe mode.

3 - SLOW MODE SWITCH
Reduces the CPU ratio to 8X to keep the system stable during setup for extreme overclocking.

4 - RSVD SWITCH
Helps the system boot under extreme temperatures (= -120°C)

5 - LN2 MODE
Jumper to enable special options and functions for liquid-nitrogen (LN2) overclocking.

6 - PROBELT
Includes twelve integrated measurement points for advanced tuning.

7 - BCLK BUTTONS
Adjust the BCLK frequency to improve system performance.

ROG TRUE VOLTICIAN

For truly advanced performance optimization, the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene includes the ROG True Voltician, a miniature oscilloscope that connects to an onboard USB header and displays waveforms for the CPU Vcore, VCCIN, and System Agent rails. It can also be used to monitor a video card or power supply, and users can even run the True Voltician software on one PC while they get readings from another.

PBO ENHANCEMENT

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.

TEAMED POWER ARCHITECTURE

Today's CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.

A brief history
ASUS became the first manufacturer to implement phase-doublers with the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, back in 2005. The board's VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time while also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits led to phase-doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, and they are still used for similar purposes today.

A shift in CPU demands
Modern CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors, and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. In addition, they consume less power at idle and can transition between load states much more quickly. These improvements necessitate a re-evaluation of power-design priorities because phase-doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response.

Bucking the trend
Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn't hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That's why the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs.

Thermal performance
Each VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers and phase-doublers control the circuit, and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. The power stages feature low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses, helping to improve overall thermal headroom.

High-quality components
- 8+8 pins ProCool II power connectors - Two ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines.
- 16 + 2 power stages - The VRM features 16 + 2 power stages, each rated to handle 110 amps.
- MicroFine alloy chokes - Each power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.
- 10K black metallic capacitors - Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.

DDR5 MEMORY

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. With the Crosshair X670E lineup, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, regardless of if they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

DDR5 Strength

For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.

AEMP

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

COOLING

Meeting Ryzen thermal demands head-on, the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene wields hefty VRM, chipset, and M.2 heatsinks to keep everything running at top performance. To aid in airflow, the Gene boasts copious fan header support-a blessing for building in tight spaces. Once the rig is assembled, ROG tools make it easy to monitor and control fan speeds, and with the improved AI Cooling II utility, balancing system acoustics is better than ever.
