Flagship AMD AM5 motherboard with extreme overclocking and PCIe 5.0 support.
The ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme is ASUS’s premier AM5 motherboard designed for Ryzen 7000-series CPUs. It targets extreme enthusiasts who want maximum headroom for overclocking, multi-GPU setups, and ultra-fast storage. The board features a colossal VRM design (20+2 phases in practice) for stable power delivery, PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, and a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot on the board plus an M.2 expansion/card solution. Connectivity centers around dual USB4 Type-C ports, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and high-end networking (Marvell AQtion 10G and Intel 2.5G). It also ships with premium cooling, Aura Sync RGB, Anime Matrix display options, and ASUS’s AI-assisted tools (AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II) to simplify tuning. For builders chasing the absolute fastest platform and eye-catching aesthetics, this board is a standout. Note that its size (E-ATX) requires a compatible case and a substantial case footprint. This model launched as part of ASUS’s X670E generation in 2022 and remains a pinnacle option for AM5 enthusiasts. (Source: ASUS X670E Extreme product page; launch context.)
