The ROG C8E adopts the new generation design language of the ROG CROSSHAIR series. Most areas of the motherboard are covered by thick heat dissipation armor. The backplane covered on the back can protect the motherboard while also playing a certain role in auxiliary heat dissipation. It has upgraded the power supply of the processor to 20 power supply modules (18+2). Each power supply module is equipped with MOSFETs capable of carrying 90A current, combined with super alloy inductors, which can fully meet the power supply requirements of top flagship multi-core processors such as the AMD Reelong 9 5950X under various workloads and in case of overclocking. With strong hardware support, it also carries the exclusive "Dynamic OC Switcher hybrid dual mode overclocking" technology, which makes overclocking more convenient.
While strengthening the power supply design, the VRM heat dissipation of the ROG C8E is further upgraded. Large diameter L-shaped heat pipes are added between the two VRM power supply and heat dissipation armors, which can effectively distribute the heat on the whole heat dissipation armor and enhance the heat dissipation capability of the heat dissipation armor. At the same time, the ROG C8E's chipset thermal armor is stronger than the previous motherboard in both thickness and scale, ensuring a good thermal environment for chipsets during long-term operation.
20 groups of integrated digital power supply
In terms of memory, the ROG C8E is equipped with four DDR4 memory sockets and the latest OptiMem III technology of ASUS, which can support up to 5100MHz+(OC) DDR4 memory.
The chipset part adopts passive cooling design
A total of 5 NVMe M.2 SSDs can be installed on the motherboard, of which the motherboard natively provides 3 slots, and the other two are provided by the ROG DIMM. 2 slot (using the ROG DIMM. 2 expansion card attached to the motherboard). All 5 NVMe M.2 slots support PCIe 4.0 mode, which can provide the most complete high-speed SSD support for enthusiasts. In order to avoid the speed reduction caused by high temperature under high-speed reading and writing, the three onboard M.2 slots are covered with large area aluminum heat dissipation armor, and are equipped with M.2 heat dissipation backplane and the widely acclaimed M.2 Q-LACH convenient snap design.
In terms of expansion slots, the ROG C8E is equipped with two full-size PCIe 4.0 × 16 and one PCIe 3.0 × 1 slots, which can use the single slot × 16 or dual slot × 8 mode. These two PCIe 4.0 × 16 slots are equipped with ASUS SafeSlot high-intensity security slot technology.
In the audio part, ROG C8E uses the latest ALC4082 audio codec, which works with ESS SABRE9018Q2C integrated DAC to provide clear stereo and surround sound output for music and games. The motherboard also comes with a ROG CLAVIS TYPE-C DAC, which is equipped with a Hi Fi ESS 9281 DAC chip to further enhance the sound effect.
In addition, the motherboard has also prepared two Thunderbolt 4 interfaces for feverish players, which can provide more extensive high-speed support for players. They can provide 40Gb/s transmission speed, support DP1.4, fast charging, 10Gbps point-to-point network transmission, 2 × 4K or 1 × 8K display, and allow daisy chain up to 5 Thunderbolt devices through a single Thunderbolt 4 interface.
Using AI technology to provide a better use experience is no stranger to players using ROG motherboards. The ROG C8E is also equipped with three AI intelligent technologies: AI intelligent network, AI intelligent cooling and two-way AI noise reduction, which can further simplify the operation of players and bring more convenient use experience.
ROG CROSSHAIR Ⅷ EXTREME brings players the exclusive "Dynamic OC Switcher hybrid dual-mode (multi/full core) overclocking" technology, which can well integrate the advantages of the full core overclocking and PBO overclocking modes of the AMD platform, and provide players with the single core performance of PBO and the multi-core performance of full core overclocking. It is a "fish and bear" solution.
