Nakon testa Ryzen procesora i dvije X470 ploče, na red dolazi i treća. Ovaj put je riječ o najjačoj Asusovoj iz Republic of Gamers obitelji. Crosshair VII Hero nastavlja tamo gdje je prošlogodišnja VI Hero stala, donosi kvalitetnu izvedbu s poboljšanjima prilagođenim novim Ryzen procesorima. Svakako najveća novost je uvođenje drugog M.2 socketa s hladnjakom.

ASUS Crosshair VII Hero – prvi dio

Nakon testa Ryzen procesora i dvije X470 ploče, na red dolazi i treća. Ovaj put je riječ o najjačoj Asusovoj iz Republic of Gamers obitelji. Crosshair VII Hero nastavlja tamo gdje je prošlogodišnja VI Hero stala, donosi kvalitetnu izvedbu s poboljšanjima prilagođenim novim Ryzen procesorima. Svakako najveća novost je uvođenje drugog M.2 socketa s hladnjakom. Pakiranje je doživjelo minimalne izmjene, i dalje je to nedvosmisleno ROG proizvod, čim ga ugledate na polici. Na stražnjoj se strani nalaze informacije o svim bitnim tehnologijama koje ploča podržava.

Isti je i princip otvaranja kutije, poklopac je integriran i odmah nas dočeka ploča pod plastičnim pokrovom i ROG dobrodošlica. A ta se ROG dobrodošlica nastavlja i ispod matične ploče, gdje nalazimo vrlo bogat bundle:
  • User’s manual
  • 4 x SATA 6Gb/s cables
  • 2 x M.2 Screw Package
  • 1 x Supporting DVD
  • 1 x ASUS 2T2R dual band Wi-Fi moving antennas (Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac compliant)
  • 1 x SLI HB BRIDGE (2-WAY-M)
  • 1 x ROG big sticker
  • 1 x Q-Connector
  • 1 x Extension Cable for RGB strips (80 cm)
  • 1 x Extension cable for Addressable LED
  • 1 x ROG coaster

Ploča izgledom dosta podsjeća na prošlogodišnju Crosshair VI Hero, s kojom dijeli dosta zajedničkih elemenata, uz naravno pokoju promjenu. Plastika koja pokriva stražnje I/O portove i audio jedinicu je ista no sada ima dodatak integrirane maske prednjeg panela. Hladnjaci na VRM-u i PCH-u su vrlo sličnih proporcija i oblika, s malo drugačijom grafikom na vrhu. Raspored glavnih komponenata je također isti, no na novijoj je ploči dodan još jedan M.2 socket, iznad prvog PCIe x16 utora i na njemu se nalazi aluminijski hladnjak. S tog je mjesta izbačen jedan PCIe x1 utor, a sve je ostalo prema jugu ploče isto. Na samom dnu ploče vidimo kako fali Start tipka, koja je sada prebačena gore iznad ATX konektora. Dizajn ploče je i dalje odlično pogođen, nema šarenih elemenata, a tko voli šarenilo ionako ima AURA RGB LED osvjetljenje koje je ostalo isto.

Ploča je standardnih ATX dimenzija, PCB je gotovo cijelom površinom popunjen, što je i razumljivo zbog količine opreme i elemenata. Layout je generalno dobar, sviđa nam se smještaj gornjeg M.2 socketa, a i sve je ostalo dobro posloženo. Glavni su konektori uz rubove ploče i nema nekih nelogičnosti. VRM jedinica kombinira MicroFine Alloy prigušnice, NexFET Power Block MOSFET-e i 10K Black Metallic solid kondenzatore – baš kao i kod prethodnice. Dva su aluminijska hladnjaka na MOSFET-ima i na ovoj ploči povezana toplovodnom cijevi i solidno obavljaju svoj posao. Zagrijavanje je nešto veće kada se krene s overclockingom, i tada je poželjno osigurati strujanje zraka preko njih. Čipset hladnjak također postane vrlo topal, jer je čip ispod njega i dalje napravljen u staroj 55-nanometarskoj litografiji i dosta se grije.
