AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight-Core Processor & ROG Crosshair X870E Hero Motherboard Kit

Jumpstart your gaming computer build with this B&H kit, which brings together a 4.7 GHz AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight-Core Processor and an ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero ATX Motherboard. With a CPU and motherboard together in a single package, you're free focus on optimizing your build with components such as memory, storage, and a graphics card.

AMD EXPO

Ryzen-optimized AMD EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking) profiles provide a user-friendly method to overlocking your DDR5 memory when using the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with your socket AM5, increasing software load speeds and boosting overall gaming performance.

Additional Features

Unlocked to support CPU overclocking

120W TDP (Thermal Design Power) with no active cooling provided

Integrated Radeon graphics

Increase CPU speed with Precision Boost 2

AI Overclocking

Maximize CPU performance with predictions for ideal CPU and cooling settings, pushing your system to its limits.

AI Cooling II

Maintain optimal thermals and reduced noise with dynamic fan speeds adjustments based on CPU temperatures.

Core Flex

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control power and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

Asynchronous Clock

The ROG Crosshair X870E Hero features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed to drive peak CPU performance while maintaining the stability of related clock domains.

Precision Boost Overdrive Enhancement

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.

NitroPath DRAM Technology

NitroPath DRAM Technology provides enhanced DDR5 memory performance. Shorter gold finger pins and optimized signal pathways ensure faster data transfers between your DRAM and CPU, allowing for greater memory overclocking headroom and stability. These reinformed DRAM slots are also better prepared to withstand the wear and tear of the RAM installation process than traditional slot designs, perfect for enthusiasts who keep their system upgraded with the fastest kits available.

AEMP

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules.

Power Design

Sporting 18(110A)+2(110A)+2 power stages with two 8-pin ProCool II power connectors, the Crosshair X870E Hero delivers reliable and stable performance with high-core count CPUs, graphics cards, and other power-intensive components. MicroFine alloy chokes and 10K black metallic capacitors quickly dissipate heat around voltage regulators and offers greater overclocking headroom.

Advanced Cooling

Designed for overclocking, this motherboard maintains optimal performance and stability with fan and AIO pump headers, and an M.2 backplate in addition to M.2 slots, VRM, and chipset heatsinks.

2.5G and 5G Ethernet

Onboard 2.5G and 5G Ethernet ports provide fast and stable connectivity to compatible wired devices.

Dual USB4 Connectivity

Transfer massive project files with 40 Gb/s compatible storage drives. The USB4 ports also allow you to connect either one 8K monitor or two 4K displays for enhanced multitasking.

Front 20G USB-C

This motherboard features a USB-C front panel connector for speedy data transfers with up to 20 Gb/s devices. Quick Charge 4+ technology provides up to 60W charging with compatible tablets and mobile gaming devices.

Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, which enables immersive three-dimensional audio to be perceived from above, below and around the listener.

PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim

With PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. Users no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.

Q-Antenna

With Q-Antenna, attaching a Wi-Fi antenna to your PC is a snap. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place.

Q-LED

The on-board Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components are functioning normally during startup. It can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed.

Troubleshooting

A built-in start button and Q-Code LEDs help you quickly identify problems.

Clear CMOS and BIOS FlashBack

Clear the CMOS at the touch of a button to help remove data corruption from the chip. BIOS FlashBack makes BIOS updates easy. Just load the BIOS file onto a FAT32 USB stick, insert it into the BIOS FlashBack port, and press a button. No CPU or memory needed.

ASUS GlideX

Using this app enables smooth screen sharing and control across PCs, tablets, and smartphones via wired or wireless connections, across multiple platforms.

HWINFO

This comprehensive diagnostic tool provides detailed information about hardware components and real-time system monitoring.

AIDA64 Extreme

The AIDA64 Extreme tool provides detailed information about the hardware components and software, perform benchmark tests, and help prevent possible hardware issues. A 60-day trial subscription is included.

Armoury Crate

Armoury Crate is a software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products, making it easy to tune the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate helps you customize RGB lighting and effects for compatible devices and synchronize them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme across your system. In addition, Armoury Crate's Fan Xpert4 tool provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AIO) coolers.

Addressable Gen 2 RGB headers

The three addressable Gen 2 headers automatically optimize lighting effects for the number of LEDs present on compatible ARGB gear.
