The special mounting holes on the CROSSHAIR VI HERO makes it easy to fit with AM3/AM4 coolers as well as the existing LN2 pots. Just switch out the AM3 cooler for a AM4 one, you’ll get more life out of your previous cooler!
The exclusive ASUS D.O.C.P. (DRAM OC Profiles) feature enables higher DDR4 memory frequencies, lower latencies and enhanced stability while overclocking, extending all the way to extreme overclocking conditions.
Aura features two independently-controlled onboard headers ready to sync lighting effects with different Aura Sync compatible products. The latest version of the ROG AURA software brings the expression “Light up your build” to a whole new level. The device control panel allows for the simple syncing/desyncing of Aura capable devices, the updated LED visualization has a total of 9 different custom effects that fully utilize the more complex lighting control schema on the latest boards and the fine-tuning area allows for the most minute control of each individual lighting area!
Perfect Synchronization: ASUS Aura Sync technology makes ROG Crosshair VI Hero the control hub for your illumination ambitions — so it’s easy to synchronize incredible lighting effects between compatible components, including RGB LED strips, graphics cards, keyboards and even mice! Change all LEDs in unison or employ dynamic modes to flow the illumination effects smoothly across all synchronized devices.
ROG's awesome SupremeFX audio technology has levelled up, delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection and 120dB on line-out — and that means our best-ever recording quality! We've also added a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX S1220 codec, an ESS® Sabre Hi-Fi ES9023P digital-to-analog converter for superior front-panel output, and a Texas Instruments® RC4850 op-amp for high gain with low distortion — which all adds up to audio that envelops you as never before.
Sonic Radar III is all-new – with an evolved audio engine that processes sounds more accurately than ever, ensuring you're always aware of what's going on around you. A new on-screen arrow has also been added to help you pinpoint the enemy position instantly!
A dedicated base-clock generator designed for AM4 processors. This custom solution works in tandem with the ASUS TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) to enhance voltage and base-clock overclocking control — providing an exciting new way to boost performance to extreme heights. Reduce boot time, Lower jitter under extreme conditions for higher overclocks and increased stability under heavy overclocking all with Pro Clock.

GPU Source Mapping: With high-end GPUs being the largest source of heat in any build, the GPU more of an effect on nominal case temperatures than any other component. At long last, users can set GPU temperature as a fan tuning source via Fan Xpert 4 for a dynamic cooling response to system power output!
Watercooling Zone: With the new watercooling zone, temperatures and flow rates can be read directly into DIP5—allowing peace of mind to know that everything is functioning properly, while saving the hassle of installing third party hardware.
It is designed specifically for users that need finer control of their custom watercooling setups:
W_IN/OUT T-sensor - allows for monitoring of temperatures at the input/output of any block
W_FLOW Tachometer - allows for constant monitoring of flow rate of the entire loop
The Hero utilizes an all new patented heatsink design, produced via a specialized extrusion process. The perforations created through this process work in tandem with the onboard LEDs to create unique aura around the PCH logo.
