Asus 20th anniversary motherboard

Hmmm good point, Dark Hero is listed at $950 to $980 from PC Part Picker. If it's $100 CAD more, it's not too far fetch. Looking at the board layout for both, I don't think there's any hardware difference. But until someone reviews it and confirm the difference, hard to say.

Der Bauer has a video, in it he says it’s the same underneath. This board is based on the dark hero.
 
The screen looks like it is bloody pointless though. Moment you install a GPU screen will be covered... otherwise I kind of want it.

As the person who actually owned the original ROG board - f*ck that. Spending $1,000+ on a board just for the memory is a tough sell these days.

For most of us here, yes probably but if people will fork over money for the gold Dhahab OC Edition there will be people willing for fork over money for this. Looking at PC Parts Picker, I see MSI Godlike is even more expensive at $1.4K while the Max edition is $1.8K. The cheapest X870E is a MSI Pro X870E-P WIFI at $280. Darkwood was $700 but soldout, the White Wood is $730.

Looking at the Dark Hero review from TPU, it's close to chart topping but the performance you get from a board half the price is very close.

ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero Review

If the ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial is a little out of your price range but you still want an ultra high-end motherboard for your AMD CPU. The Crosshair X870E Dark Hero is awash with cutting edge features and a sprinkling of future-proofing, and could be just what you're looking for.

I think we are mostly past the point where it matters at all... the cheapest board is going to work just as well as the most premium board for the 99% of users. It's mostly for the extra features along with the looks.

The DIY computer market feels like it's shifting with the way prices are. For a brief period of time, it was cheaper to build your own than to buy prebuilt, but that's evaporated now. It's become an expensive hobby I'd say, and those willing to pay will likely go towards the premium product lines not the value ones.

With sales down, I wonder if we'll start to see the value lines disappear too.

This board definitely captures the essence of the Crosshair from 20 years ago.... but it doesn't even feel that long ago... and seems a bit tame? I suppose ASUS was never too outlandish though.

Yeah, it really does feel like DIY PCs are becoming more of a premium hobby again instead of the budget-friendly option they used to be.
 
I miss the days when pc’s were so cheap. :ROFLMAO:
