With so many different motherboards on the market, it's hard for vendors to make something that makes you really pay attention to it. And in the case of the new Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial, that's exactly what happened when I first saw it, because the only thing I really noticed was that it has pre-installed Wi-Fi drivers. However, taking a closer look reveals all kinds of things: some good, some great, and something really odd.

As with all of Asus' ROG Crosshair boards, the X870E Glacial is a top-end, mega-bucks model, replete with M.2 slots, heatsinks, and a whopping five-inch LCD panel. An awful lot of motherboards pass through my hands, so I honestly didn't pay that much attention to it (sorry Asus), other than the drivers thing.
