ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (X570) – Excellent Condition – Latest BIOS (5302) – Boxed

Description:

The AM4 "Endgame" Board Up for sale is the legendary ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero. If you know AM4, you know this is arguably the best motherboard released for the platform. It features the highly sought-after passive chipset cooling (no buzzing chipset fan!) and the Dynamic OC Switcher for getting the most out of Ryzen 5000 chips.

Condition & Testing

Visuals: The board is in excellent cosmetic condition. As shown in the photos, the PCB, backplate, and I/O shield are clean and free of damage.

Tested: Fully tested and working perfectly.

Updated: I have already flashed it to the latest BIOS Version 5302 (Build Date 10/03/2025). It is essentially "plug-and-play" ready for any Ryzen 5000-series CPU (including the 5800X3D and 5700X3D) without you needing to fuss with updates.

Transparency Note (The "Fine Print")

Thermal Pad: The thermal pad for the primary M.2 slot heatsink (the top one) was removed during disassembly and is not included. You will need to apply a new strip of thermal pad tape (cheap and easy to find) when installing your SSD.

The secondary M.2 heatsink pad is still intact.

What’s Included Comes in the original retail box with the majority of original accessories, including:

The Motherboard (Crosshair VIII Dark Hero)

ASUS Wi-Fi Antenna (Magnetic base)

SATA Cables

Q-Connector

ROG Coaster & Stickers

User Manual

This is a fantastic foundation for a high-end AM4 gaming rig or workstation.
