Asus Mobo

I’ll be replacing my aging MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon soon. 
 

two options on my table:

1. ROG X570-E Strix

2. ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Hero

 

assuming money isn’t a problem, which one do you recommend?

Why those two options? Is there something you really want/like from Asus? What CPU do you have, do you plan to overclock, and how much? You have a budget?
My recommendation would be for a B550 Aorus master if I didn't have to pick between those two. if I had to, I'd go for the VIII Hero, but that should be a decent bit more. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

1) Asus has better boards, and better warranty, according to my friends and research.

2) Going another brand for a change.

3) Better looking aesthetics.

Ryzen 3700X, and I don't OC. It may be for future stronger CPUs.

Ryzen 3700X, not overclocking at the moment, but soon will.

 

 

Okay, If you don't want to upgrade, I'd just recommend a B550-A pro or B550-pro vdh. 

As for the boards, uuhhh no. I wouldn't recommend judging most components based off of their brands. Both of the boards you listed are... fine, if not somewhat overpriced. Warranty is generally fine, nothing to get worked up about. If you *really* care about aesthetics, hey I can't stop you, but I 'd highly recommend the above listed boards, and In the case that you kill the board, you can purchase another one and still pay around the amount or less than one of those asus boards.
