ASUS celebrates 20 years of ROG with a special 20th Anniversary Edition X870E motherboard - and a trip down memory lane

ASUS came out swinging at Computex 2026, showcasing a range of new and exciting products. That might not extend to motherboards as we await new chipsets and CPUs, but that didn't stop ASUS from showcasing the stunning ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20.

This board is not to be confused with the ROG Crosshair 2006 that we covered previously, though that is also a glorious-looking board we were happy to see in person. The X870E Edition 20 is a new beast.

The board comes with a flagship-tier spec, including support for a massive nine M.2 SSDs! On the back, we spotted dual 10G LAN ports, loads of fast USB ports and a 24+2+2 phase VRM with enormous heatsinks. Along with the 6.67-inch AMOLED display atop the ROG Ryujin, it's safe to say that essentially every conceivable feature possible on a 2026 consumer motherboard is present.

ASUS said that a decision had not been made on whether it will sell the board at retail. If it does make it to store shelves, I'd expect it to cost more than boards like the ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial and ROG Crosshair X870E Extreme. For now, it's targeting system integrators along with its other 20th anniversary products. The build we saw included a monstrous 4.7-slot RTX 5090 Edition 20, ROG Ryujin Edition 20, 3000W ROG Thor Edition 20 power supply, and the ROG GR20 Edition 20 case. I don't even want to guess at how much such a system would cost.

ASUS showed off one of my favorite motherboards of all time. The ROG Rampage III Extreme was an X58 board that was simply brilliant at extracting everything from LGA 1366 processors. Ahh, seeing it again brings a tear to my nostalgic heart.
