Just to tidy up my enquiry, I ordered the board on the morning of the 19th and received a dispatch note at 1.39 am today! Stoked to finish my build now!
Asus ROG X570 Crosshair Dark Hero Release? *** NO Competitor Talk ***
I just installed the Dark Hero with a 5800x. Updated to the lastest beta bios.
Installed the latest driver for x570 from amd website and the rest of drivers from asus.
The problem I have is that I can't read the temps of the cpu. I tried diferent programs with no luck. Even Hwinfo always works well and no read in temps?
Am I missing something?

Certainly mate, I did not have any problem reading the CPU temp with mine either with HWInfo or OCCT for instance
Yes. I have a samsung 980 pro in it.
Thanks for the reply , is that a gen 4.0 drive?
Yes it is.
Great thanks , might take the plunge when some more become available
Any reason you went for AMD chipset drivers and not Asus ones?
I’ve got the latest beta bios and original Asus chipset divers and ok. but wondering if Should switch to amd....
I'm going back to intel. Gaming and stability is my priority.
I understand stability as this generation seems to be plagued by some problems (like WHEA errors etc), however gaming wise there's like 0 noticeable difference from all the benchmarks I've seen.
Trust me Anybody, I had two different x570 boards with a 5800x and 5900x.
After so many days and hours, they did perform a bit worst than my old 8700k@5ghz and z370.
Both systems tweaked with rams, same gpu and so many tests, games, benchmarks.
The 5900x just killed in everything the 8700k. But not in gaming.
It's around 3-5fps less in games at 4k. At 4k we are gpu bound. But I set up my 3090 kingpin at the same speed in afterburner to make equal the comparison and the results are very steady in gaming.
If you also do productivity then go for 5900x. If you game like me go intel.
I'm heading for a asus z490 Maximus xii extreme or the z590 Maximus hero. I have a deal for the extreme from 899€ to 540€. Same price but the z590 is newer...
check out the sabrent rocket PCI4 drives they are really good, fast and cheaper than the 980.
I've got a Sabrent rockets PCI4 2TB as my primary drive and a Samsung 970Pro 1TB as my secondary drive. I've partitioned the 2TB drive for 500GB for Windows and 1.5TB for games/apps. The 1TB 970 then is overflow storage for files
hi i am using the FORCE MP600 SERIES 1TB NVME PCIE GEN4 M.2 on a Aorus master at the moment seems fine but had corruption when overclocking , not sure where the problem lies.
I like the look of the Dark Hero but wanted to raise the question as answered above to make sure i could boot off the Primary NVMe
it's very fast booting from the NVME. I also like the cooling system the dark hero uses and this nicely hides the drives to keep the top of the board looking neat and tidy
Yes looks the business , what Ram are you using , reading through a few posts and looks like users are struggling with 4 sticks ?
I'm using 4 sticks of the 8pack 3200cl14 using xmp without any problem on bios 3202.
I've been unable to get 4 sticks of ram to work, bought 64gb (4*16gb) of 8Pack T-Force xtreem 3600 CL17. I haven't updated to Bios 3202 yet as I'd read that some people had found it unstable. So was waiting on stable version before I installed and tried the other two sticks of additional ram.
