COMPACT DESIGN

Impact’s unusual Mini-DTX form factor is a deliberate choice. Many Mini-ITX cases ship with enough space for a dual-slot graphics card, meaning there’s typically unused space below the bottom PCIe^® slot – space that could be utilized to mount more components or enable additional features. Being marginally taller than mini-ITX allows Impact to exploit this unused space, allowing ROG engineers to squeeze in features while still fitting a large proportion of mini-ITX PC cases.

ROG Crosshair VIII Impact stacks up storage, audio and control features onto innovative vertical daughter boards, leaving us spare room onboard to add more connectivity and engineer features normally found on ATX boards into a small-form-factor (SFF) footprint.

Impact Control Card IVAdds BIOS FlashBack™, Clr CMOS, Q-Code and FlexKey functionality.

SO-DIMM.2Bundled expansion card with heatsink allows two M.2 drives to be connected via a SO-DIMM interface and helps control SSD thermals for maximum performance.

SupremeFX audioA dedicated audio card housing S1220 codec and ESS^® SABRE9023P for enthusiast-grade audio.

CONNECTIVITY

ROG Crosshair VIII Impact offers advanced connectivity to ensure seamless gaming experiences. This includes Intel Ethernet and the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). It also has the two M.2 slots integrated into the SO-DIMM module, plus the same SupremeFX audio codec you’ll find on ATX ROG boards.

• WIFI 6 (AX200)

  ROG Crosshair VIII Impact comes with onboard Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support, offering ultrafast networking speeds, improved network capacity and better performance in dense Wi-Fi environments for exceptional online gaming experiences with the convenience of a wireless connection.

  

• INTEL ETHERNET

  ROG Crosshair VIII Impact features the latest Intel® Ethernet (I211-AT) ensuring data exchanges with your network and the outside world are fast and smooth. Intel LAN reduces CPU overhead and increases TCP and UDP throughput, keeping more processing power.​​
