Cooling Heatsinks
-
VRM and Aluminum I/O Heatsink
An aluminum I/O cover and two VRM heatsinks connected by an U-shaped heatpipe provide ample surface area and mass to deal with the heat generated by the latest AMD processors. -
U-shaped Heatpipe
The heatpipe efficiently distributes the thermal load across the entire array. -
M.2 Backplates
Integrated M.2 backplates help ensure that high-performance drives deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted. -
Aluminum Heatsink Cover
Crafted from pure aluminum, the heatsink cover efficiently cools M.2 drives mounted in the onboard slots.
Cooler by Design
ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme features the most comprehensive cooling options ever.
-
Multiple temperature sources
Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI. -
4-pin PWM/DC fan headers and ASUS HYDRANODE
Every onboard header auto-detects any PWM or DC fan, with three chassis fan headers offering ASUS HYDRANODE support. -
AIO pump
A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.
ASUS OptiMem III
With proprietary memory trace layout tweaks that improve signal integrity and mitigate noise, OptiMem III allows memory kits to run at lower latencies and reduced voltages while operating at higher frequencies. Stack the ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme with your favorite modules and maximize AMD Zen 3 processor throughput for applications that demand massive bandwidth, or balance infinity fabric and memory performance for a diverse range of workloads.
