ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E
HERO BTF ATX Motherboard
The ROG CROSSHAIR X870E
HERO BTF is a premium AMD AM5 motherboard crafted for high-performance
gaming and enthusiast builds. Featuring ASUSs innovative BTF ("Back to
the Future") hidden-connector design, this board routes power and data
cables such as CPU power, SATA, USB, and fan headers to the back edge of
the motherboard for ultra-clean cable management and improved airflow.
It includes a high-power PCIe 5.0 x16 slot on the front to deliver up to
600W directly to compatible BTF graphics cards, eliminating the need for
bulky external GPU power cables while maintaining support for standard
GPUs. With robust DDR5 memory support beyond 8200+ MT/s, Wi-Fi 7, dual
2.5Gb and 5Gb Ethernet, multiple USB4 Type-C ports, and comprehensive
cooling, the HERO BTF balances extreme performance, advanced
connectivity, and sleek aesthetics. Perfect for next-gen AMD Ryzen 7000,
8000, and 9000 Series processors, this motherboard empowers clean,
powerful, and visually stunning PC builds.
Advanced BTF Design
With the combination of a
BTF graphics card, motherboard and chassis, you can enjoy a full
hidden-connector experience. This Advanced BTF approach is achieved
through the new graphics card high-power slot available on BTF
motherboards, which can deliver up to 600 watts to BTF-compatible
graphics cards. With a full set of BTF components, builders can
eliminate visible cables for an ultra-clean aesthetic.
Hidden Connector Design
The hidden-connector design can be ideal for first-time
builders because it provides easier cable management. The absence of
visible cables also creates a clean and tidy look that would normally
require an expert.
High-Power GPU Slot
The graphics card high-power slot stands ready to supply all
the wattage that a BTF graphics card needs. This special design can
deliver up to 600 watts through the motherboard itself, eliminating the
need for visible 8-pin or 16-pin power cables on the front.
