Bring big potential to your next small-form-factor build with the ROG Crosshair VIII Impact AM4 Mini-DTX Motherboard from ASUS. Designed to provide ATX-sized performance and connectivity in a mini-DTX package, this motherboard features the AMD AM4 socket and X570 chipset. Install memory in two dual-channel RAM slots supporting up a total capacity of 64GB and speeds up to 4800 MHz when overclocking. Storage drives can be connected using two M.2 slots via an included SO-DIMM.2 adapter card, while four SATA III slots are also present. Install a graphics card using the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot.
In addition to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth support, this motherboard also features five USB 3.2 Gen 2 and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports on the rear I/O panel. A USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port is also present, along with a Gigabit Ethernet port, S/PDIF port, and three 3.5mm analog audio outputs. Two connectors can be used with the included Wi-Fi antenna, while BIOS flashback and Clear CMOS buttons allow for easy firmware access, updates, and debugging. A range of internal headers are also incorporated into this board, including liquid-cooling headers, an addressable RGB header, and more. The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact features the SupremeFX S1220 audio codec and 8-channel support, as well as a Sabre ES9023P DAC. This motherboard is compatible with Windows 10 64-bit operating systems.

Q Code 9E showing up after bios updated . Reading a lot of reviews on this Q code 9E showing just recently after bios update 3801.CAP

Excellent board for my 011 D Mini build, repainted some parts with pearl white to match the case.

I can confirm this motherboard fits great inside of the Meshlicious case, even with it’s tall M.2 daughterboard, but you will need to use a SFF power supply. It has just about every high-end feature as it’s ATX cousin, just in a smaller package. The tiny heatsink and chipset fans are basically silent. Tons of IO and many convenient surface-mounted and rear buttons.

Great board. Love the led audio jacks. V-rams are great, active cooling is quiet. Q-codes display and CMOS buttons are in the rear io so there’s no need to open the PC to check codes. Overall great design.

Why was sent an open box motherboard but still paying full price? This is more a review of the sale rather than the purchased motherboard. The boxed wasn’t even sealed and a plastic insert has a spot where it looks like someone mixed something on it.

My Favorite board of all time, I wish I didn’t have to get rid of it but I decided to go to a ITX build and the cases I decided on wouldn’t fit the DTX size as it’s just a little to long. But if you need a itx board and have room to fit this in your itx case I would 100% buy this over a B550 or x570 itx board.

I regret not buying this board 2 years ago when it first hit retail. I have had a love/hate relationship with ASUS products for going on 15 years now. I remember when I had to shift from DFI to ASUS years ago and thought the price/performance value was questionable. I am in the camp that thinks they charge “way” too much for most of their products no matter how good they are. This MOBO hits a little different though. Is it overpriced? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. It easily is the best AM4 board I have ever built on. It easily OC’s RAM and PBO. The BIOS is both stable and functional. It works as a Ryzentosh. It does everything I need it to do save for having Thunderbolt support. I will eagerly be waiting for the next generation Impact to come out on the AM5 platform.
