The Crosshair VIII Formula

ROG has partnered with EK Water Blocks to create an integrated VRM water-cooling solution that keeps the massive power of the latest AMD Ryzen processors under control. Keeping with the water-cooling theme the ROG Crosshair VIII Formula features on-board lighting that casts a "rainfall" design which pops against the board's mirror finish and is accented by the ROG logo. With its incredible cooling performance and gamer-oriented features ROG Crosshair VIII Formula is the perfect foundation for your next high-performance gaming rig.

COOLING

CHILLING DESIGN

Effective cooling is extremely important so the ROG Crosshair VIII Formula provides comprehensive cooling features that enable higher performance at lower temperatures.

CROSSCHILL EK III

EXPERTLY TOOLED TOTALLY COOLED CROSSCHILL EK III

CrossChill EK III lets you cool with air and water. The redesigned cooling channels provide wider copper delivering up to 29.3°C-lower MOSFET temperatures on water and the standard G1/4" threaded fittings mean CrossChill EK III easily fits existing setups - so you can enjoy efficient quiet cooling with the minimum effort.

COOLER BY DESIGN

COMPREHENSIVE COOLING ZONE

ROG Crosshair VIII Formula features the most comprehensive cooling options ever configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.

HEATSINKS

HEATSINKS

Heatsinks are extremely important for motherboards as they absorb heat from critical areas to ensure components do not stagger due to overheating. With VRM chipset and M.2 heatsinks ROG Crosshair VIII Formula ensures efficient and stable operation even when pushed hard.

ACTIVE CHIPSET HEATSINK

ACTIVE CHIPSET HEATSINK DESIGN

PCle 4.0 provides twice the bandwidth for data flowing through the chipset which creates more heat than the previous generation.
The Formula features an actively cooled heatsink to prevent throttling during sustained transfers.
