Optimal cooling
PERFECTED COOLING FOR UNLEASHING PERFORMANCE
PCH M.2 HEATSINK
ROG
Crosshair VI Extreme is equipped with an M.2 heatsink integrated into the PCH
heatsink. With its huge cooling surface, the M.2 heatsink perfectly chills an
inserted M.2 SSD providing maximum performance and reliability.
Featuring a stylish angular design replete with an awesome glowing ROG eye
logo, the M.2 heatsink adds a beautiful touch to the build, while the T-sensor
detects temperatures in the vital M.2 area for instant monitoring.
Fully Dominate Your Water-Cooling System
Water Cooling Zone
ROG's innovative Water Cooling Zone lets you monitor your cooling system like
never before. The dual water-temperature headers and flow-rate header of the ROG
Water Cooling Zone feeds information straight into ROG's intuitive Fan Xpert 4
utility so you can stay on top of the heat and stay cool in every game!
best gaming LIGHTING
Aura lighting control
Customize your own favorite LED effects with intuitive, ASUS-exclusive
lighting-control software. Aura RGB technology makes it possible to cast a
stunning multicolor glow across your entire build, via the ROG Crosshair VI
Extreme's brilliant built-in RGB LEDs or attached RGB strips via the two onboard
4-pin headers all lights will perform in perfect synchronization! Fire up Aura
and enjoy the creative freedom of nine different lighting schemes!
*The Aura RGB-strip header supports standard 5050
RGB LED strips with a maximum power rating of 3A (12V). For maximum brightness,
strip length should not exceed 2m.
* One extension cable is included; RGB LED
strips sold separately.
RGB LIGHTING PERFECTED
ROG Crosshair VI Extreme includes a dedicated addressable RGB header* that
connects to compatible lighting strips, fans, coolers, and compatible PC cases
all to create a new world of illumination possibilities. Aura software offers an
array of effects for addressable gear, and the Aura SDK takes things to the next
level allowing developers to control each LED individually, unleashing infinite
lighting possibilities!
*Addressable RGB header supports strips with
a maximum power rating of 3A (5V). For maximum brightness, strips should contain
no more than 120 LEDs.
AURA SDK
INFINITE LIGHTING
POSSIBILITIES
Aura SDK* is an evolving developer toolkit that ASUS has made available in
order to advance the capabilities and benefits of our Aura illumination
technology. Aura SDK enables enthusiasts and developers by providing a platform
for discussing, exploring and exploiting the vast eco-system of ASUS Aura
Sync-capable gear. Developers can share ideas for customizing the display of
various system stats and alerts via RGB illumination, and also explore ways to
brilliantly portray in-game action with real-time synchronized lighting.
OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION
ASUS Aura Sync technology makes ROG Crosshair VI Extreme the control hub for
your illumination ambitions so it's easy to synchronize incredible lighting
effects between compatible components, including RGB LED strips, graphics cards,
keyboards and even mice! Change all LEDs in unison or employ dynamic modes to
flow illumination effects smoothly across all synchronized devices.
Best Gaming Audio
Exquisite audio, inside and out
New SupremeFX Codec
ROG SupremeFX audio technology has levelled up with ROG Crosshair VI Extreme,
delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection
for best-ever recording quality and 120dB on line-out for crystal-clear sound.
We've also added a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the
SupremeFX S1220 codec, plus Texas Instruments RC4580 and OPA1688 op-amps for
high gain with low distortion. It all adds up to audio that envelops you as
never before!
Intuitive Audio-Tuning Suite
Sonic Studio III
Sonic Studio III now supports HRTF-based (head-related transfer function*)
virtual surround for VR headsets, casting an immersive aural landscape that
draws you deeper into the action. The Sonic Studio GUI also offers a range of EQ
options, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the
characteristics of your headset.
*A head-related transfer function is an audio
algorithm derived from sound data recorded through a dummy head. Test tones are
played from a spherical grid around the dummy head to obtain subtle changes in
sounds that arrive from different directions. The results are combined into an
algorithm that allows Sonic Studio's virtual surround to process sound true to
life.
**Please note HRTF function is available
only in version 3.6 and later.
