Question about ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero
Is it correct that DDR4-3200/DDR4-3600 are not supported on this board? If so, does it still make sense to buy this motherboard now?
Helpful answer
This mainboard supports DDR4-3200 (but not DDR4-3600).
According to https://www.asus.com/ch-de...:
"4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz ECC and non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory *"
I use this with Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x, 8GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288) and works fine for me at 3200 MHz.
Is it still worth buying this mainboard?
- From my point of view, this depends mainly on which CPU you want to buy. For a new PC, I would buy the 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs. However, according to the previous link, only 1st and 2nd generation is supported. I would therefore no longer buy this mainboard for a new PC.
- For a high-end mainboard, I currently find mainboards with X570 chipset more interesting (e.g. because of PCI4).
- If it is for a replacmenet in an existing PC (e.g. with Ryzen 1st gen), this can be interesting.

Short addition to my comment from before:
According to https://www.asus.com/ch-de...
some Ryzen 3rd GEN CPUs are also listed. Maybe this was made possible with BIOS udpates, but the specification was not updated? For a new PC with a 3rd GEN Ryzen CPU, I would still rather go for a mainboard with a newer chipset.
