Chapter 1: Product Introduction
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded
object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due
to static electricity.
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in
the bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so
may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
1.1 Before you proceed

1. CPU socket
The motherboard comes with a AMD AM4 Socket designed for AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series /
4000 G-Series / 3000 Series / 3000 G-Series / 2000 Series / 2000 G-Series desktop
processors.
• The AM4 socket has a different pinout design. Ensure that you use a CPU designed
for the AM4 socket.
• The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket
to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU.
• Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO 1-5
Chapter 1
2. DIMM slots
The motherboard comes with Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots designed for DDR4
(Double Data Rate 4) memory modules.
A DDR4 memory module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 module. DO
NOT install a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 memory module to the DDR4 slot.
Recommended memory configurations
1-6 Chapter 1: Product Introduction
Chapter 1
Memory configurations
You may install 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB unbuffered and non-ECC DDR4 DIMMs into
the DIMM sockets.
You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps
the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess
memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect
(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module.
Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a
lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
• For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full
memory load or overclocking condition.
• Always install the DIMMS with the same CAS Latency. For an optimum compatibility,
we recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or data code
(D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the vendor to get the correct memory
modules.
• Visit the ASUS website for the latest QVL.

Chapter 3
3.6 RAID configurations
The motherboard comes with the RaidXpert2 Configuration Utility that supports Volume,
RAIDABLE, RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 (depends on system licensing) configurations.
RAID definitions
Volume provides the ability to link-together storage from one or several disks, regardless
of the size of the space on those disks. This configuration is useful in scavenging space on
disks unused by other disks in the array. This configuration does not provide performance
benefits or data redundancy, disk failure will result in data loss.
RAIDABLE arrays (also known as RAID Ready) are a special type of Volume (JBOD) that
allows the user to add more storage space or create a redundant array after a system is
installed. RAIDABLE arrays are created using Option ROM, UEFI, or rcadm.
The ability to create RAIDABLE arrays may vary per system.
RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in
parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a
sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access
and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.
RAID 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to
a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications
to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID
configuration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system.
Use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive
must be of the same size or larger than the existing drive.
RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data)
having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 configuration you get all the benefits
of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing
drive and three new drives for this setup.
For more information on configuring your RAID sets, please
refer to the RAID Configuration Guide which you can find at
https://www.asus.com/support, or by scanning the QR code.
