Approved

"With audio and next-gen storage performance on par with Intel-based rivals plus all the usual Asus ROG features, the stage is set for a battle between Intel and AMD, and the Crosshair VI Hero is a great example of a board that will be able to take the fight to Intel. There are some niggles you'll need to be aware of such as RAM speed compatibility and if you're gunning for a maximum overclock then you may get familiar with the CMOS clear button, but for now, this is one of the best-featured AM4 boards out there from Ryzen CPUs."
