At the Canadian National Expo, Asus recently announced its new AMD X670E motherboards. These motherboards are the next-generation AMD5 platform designed for the Ryzen 7000 CPUs, with support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0, and WiFi 6E. Asus announced four motherboards, with the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme sitting on top of the lineup. It is followed by the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, then ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming, and the TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi. These are all “X670E” motherboards, so I am expecting Asus will announce its “X60” (non-Extreme) motherboards later. You can learn more about these new motherboards from the official news release below.
UPDATE: AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 CPUs and X670(E) AM5 motherboards are now available. Check the latest pricing and availability below: (#ad)

ASUS Announces New AMD X670E Motherboards at Canadian National Expo
ASUS announced a new generation of AMD-based motherboards to accompany the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme and support the latest Ryzen 7000 processors: the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, the ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi, and the TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi.
The Power of Five
Introducing the new generation of AMD ROG motherboards: the X670E series. Featuring support for DDR5 memory modules and PCIe 5.0 devices, the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi, and TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi is equipped with improved bandwidth capabilities, stability, and overall connectivity.
ASUS Q-Design Features
All three boards feature the latest ASUS Q-Design innovations. The ROG Crosshair X670E Hero and ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi includes the PCIe Q-Release button, a feature that lets users release their graphics card from the PCIe slot with one press.
In addition, all three featured motherboards will include the single-sided Q-DIMM latching design to ensure ease of installation and allowing memory sticks to hold firmly in place.
Lastly, the boards include the M.2 Q-latch, allowing users to secure or loosen an M.2 drive with just their fingertips.
ROG Crosshair X670E Hero
The flagship in the Crosshair X670E lineup, the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero bridges the gap between professional PC builders and everyday gamers, allowing all users to construct a high-performance showcase PC. With its 18+2 teamed power stages rated for 110A and substantial integrated heatsinks, the X670E Hero delivers stable power at cooler temperatures.
The X670E Hero is equipped for the next generation, featuring a pair of PCIe 5.0×16 slots to support next-gen graphics cards, a PCIe 5.00 M.2 card, and WiFi 6E capability for unhindered wireless networking. ESS ES9218PQ Quad DAC provides pristine audio to the front-panel output.
Dark hues predominate the surface of the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, providing an intense aesthetic for PC builds. Polymo lighting and a luminous RGB pattern across the integrated I/O shield delivers a microstructural array of light and color.
ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi
The ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi merges the best of form and function into balanced gaming performance. The board features 18+2 teamed power stages rated for 11A and a large, bundled M.2 heatsink to deliver a stable stream of power and thermal performance to the AMD CPU.
In addition to the PCIe Slot Q-Release button, the ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi also features an integrated power button on the motherboard and spare M.2 thermal pads to ensure optimal pre-testing and future replacements.
Angular accents sweep across the board’s heatsinks alongside distinctive ROG iconography, accompanied by an illuminated acrylic display on the integrated I/O shield.
TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi
The TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi delivers performance in a durable and practical form. The board includes a PCIe Gen 5.0 x 16 slot and four M.2 slots.
Featuring a simple, clean aesthetic and badges on the integrated I/O shield, the TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi also includes the latest ASUS Q-Design features, including an intuitive Q-LED agnostic array that gives users a quick glance on the status of their build.

Hi im a person who is interested in pc building just one question does four M.2 slots mean that it will be compatible with the new RTX 4000 series coming?
Hi Seth, no. The M.2 slots don’t mean anything when it comes to the compatibility of the graphics card.
It doesn’t matter if the motherboard has 1 or 2, 3 or zero M.2 slots.
As long as it has a PCIe x16 slot, most graphics cards will be compatible.
Although, the latest motherboards these days do have at least 2 or more M.2 slots for SSD.
I’m just not sure if the RTX 40 series will use Gen 5 or Gen 4 PCIe. Jensen is having an online event, GTC, as I reply to you.
If you are building the latest platform, either AMD Zen4 with AM5 X670(E) motherboard or 12th/13 Gen Intel CPU with Z690/Z790 motherboard, the RTX 40 should be compatible.
