ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme Motherboard Review

Lighting

As far as lighting on the board goes the ROG logo on the rear I/O cover and ROG logo on the chipset heatsink light up nicely with RGB lighting.

There is also an RGB strip that goes across the entire front edge of the board that will give you some nice under-glow in your case.

Finally the audio connections on the rear I/O actually light up with their corresponding color, which is pretty cool and will make it easier to connect your audio cables.

The OLED Screen

On the top M.2 heatsink is ASUS’s 2-inch LiveDash OLED display. This can display quite a few things like temperatures, speeds, boot codes, your own text, and even images and animations.
