ASUS to launch X870E refresh motherboards - Glacial & Dark Hero
- Thread starter ChocAndGray
- Start date
Hi peeps. I'm looking to build a new system within the next 2 weeks at the latest, and I really want the Glacier. Does anybody know when stock will be available please? It's in stock on another site but I'd much rather give my money to here. Thanks

Every year I tell myself I'm going to earn enough money to buy one of these high-end boards... but every year they seem to get further and further out of reach

These are the mid > high end when you look at the price of the extreme.

Got the dark hero, and compared to my hero not noticed and difference, other than the ease of use on the NVME heatsink and the pcie release button
I've been running this for about a month now and I'm very happy with it. It's very well built and the quality feels top-notch. You get a lot of extra features and accessories that go at least some way to address the overall cost, but it's still a large outlay for a motherboard.
The screen is good and clear and I do use it for displaying temps etc. It's still more of a nice-to-have opposed to an absolute necessity, but when spending ££££s on your build, you do feel like being able to monitor core component temps and voltages helps put your mind at ease.
One of the things that drew me to the Glacial was the asthetic, which it delivers. However it's largely obscured by my vertically mounted gfx card. At least that also hides the main inherent design issues noted elsewhere.
Should see me good for a number of years, fingers crossed.
