ASUS has made an impressive splash in the motherboard market with its latest high-caliber offerings enhancing the world of PC building. Introducing the ROG Crosshair X870E APEX and new Back-to-Future (BTF) options, ASUS is setting new standards for both Intel Z890 and AMD B850 platforms with their innovative connector-less designs.
The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero BTF motherboard is catching attention with its sleek design, integrating all connectors on the rear for an ultra-clean aesthetic. This powerful model supports Intel Arrow Lake 200S processors, PCI-E 5.0 GPUs, and cutting-edge DDR5 memory, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance without the visual clutter of cables.
For AMD users, ASUS hasn’t been left behind. They’re offering the TUF Gaming B850-BTF Wi-Fi motherboard, designed for Ryzen 9000 series CPUs. Like its Intel-focused counterpart, most connectors are strategically positioned at the back, maintaining a streamlined look. Though it’s unsure if ASUS plans to release X870/X870E BTF boards for AMD, the B850-BTF is more than capable, especially for those keen on tapping into the power of Ryzen 9000X3D processors.
Stealing the show among these releases is the ROG Crosshair X870E APEX, a dedicated design for AMD platforms that’s already achieving legendary status. With a series of world records for overclocking benchmarks under its belt, thanks to the expertise of overclocker SAFEDISK, the X870E APEX is engineered for record-shattering performance.
Also making waves is ASUS’s venture into cooling solutions with their first fully-integrated AIO cooler. The ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB offers not only superior cooling for high-performance CPUs but also a tech-savvy 6.67-inch curved AMOLED display for visual indulgence without tangled cables, complementing their clean-build philosophy.
While ASUS has not yet disclosed pricing or specific availability, these products are expected to hit the shelves soon, promising new possibilities for PC builders and tech enthusiasts alike. ASUS continues to innovate, pushing the boundaries of performance and design in the PC hardware landscape.
