Had my BIOS update on my X470 Crosshair Hero VII last week. Looking forward to the release - upgrade my 2 week old 2700X already.

I did run into a few black screen issues at random points, and had to reboot to get away from it. Code displayed on the board was just '8' but looking in my manual there's no record for a code '8' Dropped down to level 2 and no issues at all with it, can only assume it was voltage issues due to PBO etc been turned on, and level 3 OC. Will try HWinfo though thanks!

Looks really nice, I think you could potentially make some things better for yourself with cabling by turning that 3.5" drive round and running the cables up the back of it instead. That's what I've done previously when the drives are on show like that and it should mean you'll be able to lose that SATA power up the front and SATA data too. What I tend to do also with any visible cables over the front of the board is run them around the components where possible to clean it up a bit, I can see that cable over the top of the RAM looks like you could tuck it around the edges of the RAM slots to tidy it up? Great nice build though, I always had a thing for this case and never tried one.

I run the H100i V2, 2700x on a ROG Crosshair VII Hero and set it to level 2, PBO, XFR etc on. Also set my ram profile up correctly too. it weirdly hits boosts of around 5.9ghz sometimes in HW Monitor - guessing that's a data reading glitch? Anyways, temperatures don't really go far over 60 celcius under stress, depending on the voltage it's putting out. Highest I've seen is 69 at 100% 4.3ghz boost 1.45v that was sustained for a while. The minute I took the load off, it was back down to high 30's (celcius)

First post on the forum, this is incredible!! I wish I had this much skill. Truly superb build - looking forward to updates!! Voted for you too ?
