Packaging and Contents

The front of the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO box has a matte black finish with red accents in traditional ROG fashion. The product name is in embossed foil to give it that extra premium look. If you are unsure which chipset this AMD motherboard deploys, in the bottom right corner is AMD branding that clearly says X670E, with smaller text below that stating the chipset supports overclocking, PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5.

On the back of the box, a few features are highlighted, such as the included PCIe 5.0 M.2 add-on card, Polymo Lighting and USB-C with 60 Watt power delivery. To the left is a depiction of the motherboard with a list of specifications. Overall, ASUS has done a great job here with valuable information if you didn't have access to the internet while making an on the spot purchasing decision. The only thing missing is what accessories are included and motherboard PCIe slot configurations.


The accessories are on point here. Once you have removed the motherboard from the box, two sections are presented. The left holds all the screws, WiFi antenna, SATA cables, and other goodies. The right has the M.2 Gen 5 PCIe add-on card and a USB flash drive that is used for driver and software installation. Physical manuals are far less common going into 2023. ASUS is one of many brands who have removed the paper manual. The USB flash drive does include a quick start guide for installation, but the full manual will have to be downloaded from ASUS website.
