Heat is more localized on the last Hero, with higher temperatures for the circuitry supplying the CPU.
Sharing the load between more VRMs and spacing them out around the socket allows the Crosshair VII Hero to run noticeably cooler, with evenly distributed thermals. See for yourself in the thermal images below (and click the buttons to switch between boards). This rebalancing works with rearranged phase layouts north and west of the socket to lower VRM temperatures substantially compared to the previous generation.
While the old Crosshair VI Hero allocates power phases to the CPU and SoC in an 8+4 split, its successor uses a 10+2 arrangement that shifts power to the processor cores. There are no display outputs for Raven Ridge’s integrated Radeon, which reduces the power consumed by that portion of the processor, so our engineers redistributed the VRMs accordingly. With dual SafeSlots primed for SLI and CrossFireX, the Hero is designed for high-end discrete graphics. It’s also the most striking, with a black-on-black theme that embraces ROG’s dark side, and an optional stealth mode that defies modern conventions by turning off every single onboard LED. We’ve been improving the formula ever since, and the new ROG Crosshair VII Hero is our most advanced X470 platform for serious tuners.
