Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact Desktop Motherboard - AMD Chipset - Socket AM4 - Mini DTX (236969)

This item is brand-new, factory sealed.

AMD AM4 socket: Ready for 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors and up to two M.2 drives, USB 3.1 Gen2 and AMD StoreMI to maximize connectivity and speed

SO-DIMM.2: Bundled expansion card with heatsink allows two M.2 drives to be connected via an SO-DIMM interface and helps control SSD thermals for maximum performance

Comprehensive thermal design: An active VRM and chipset combo heatsink and full-sized aluminum backplate with heatpipe add mass to help absorb more heat

High-performance networking: On-board Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with MU-MIMO support and Intel Gigabit Ethernet with ASUS LANGuard supports GameFirst V technologies

Advanced water-cooling features: ROG water-cooling zone, water pump + header, and radiator headers enable easy integration with a custom water-cooling loop

5-Way Optimization: Automated system-wide tuning creates overclocking and cooling profiles tailor made for your rig

DIY Friendly Design: Pre-mounted I/O shield, ASUS SafeSlot and IMPACT Control Card IV , which adds BIOS FlashBack, Clr CMOS, Q-Code and FlexKey functionality

Unmatched personalization: ASUS-exclusive Aura Sync RGB lighting, including RGB headers and Gen. 2 addressable headers

Industry-leading ROG audio: SupremeFX S1220 and ESS SABRE9023P for enthusiast-grade audio performance, Sonic Studio III and DTS Sound Unbound


COMPACT DESIGN

Impact's unusual Mini-DTX form factor is a deliberate choice. Many Mini-ITX cases ship with enough space for a dual-slot graphics card, meaning there's typically unused space below the bottom PCIe slot space that could be utilized to mount more components or enable additional features. Being marginally taller than mini-ITX allows Impact to exploit this unused space, allowing ROG engineers to squeeze in features while still fitting a large proportion of mini-ITX PC cases.
