Performance
Premium Power Design
Stable power is crucial for maximising the performance of AMD processors. The motherboard is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 14(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80A each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance for both current and future AMD processors.
- 14 Vcore Power (80A, DrMOS)
- 2 SOC Power (80A, DrMOS)
- 1 Misc Power (80A, DrMOS)
Eight Layered PCB Design
Enhanced Stability and Overclocking
This multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
ProCool Power Connectors
Proprietary 8+8 Pin Connectors Improve PSU Connection
Compared to traditional power inputs, ASUS ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure full contact with PSU power cables. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and connector failure.
TUF Components
TUF Chokes and Capacitors Offer Rock-Solid Durability and Stability
TUF chokes deliver rock-solid power to the CPU, improving system stability. And TUF 5K black metallic capacitors provide 52% wider temperature tolerance and a 2.5X-longer lifespan than standard motherboard capacitors.
Digi+VRM Control
Real-Time Voltage Control
The integrated Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, optimised for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.
Memory & Storage
DRAM Overclocking Performance
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of TUF GAMING motherboards. With the motherboard, you can extract all the potential out of your DDR5 modules (Memory overclocking may vary between CPU series. Please refer to the spec table for detailed information), whether they’re from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.
DDR5 Dominance
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, this motherboard is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits, courtesy of vast AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via an extensive array of settings in the UEFI.
ASUS AEMP
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimised frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can quickly apply.
M.2 PCIe 5.0 Support
This motherboard also features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot to enjoy the fastest data transfers of up to 128 Gbps (Actual transmission speed will be lower than theoretical maximum speed), and all M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds.
Bandwidth (Gbps)
- PCIe 5.0 x 4 – 128
- PCIe 4.0 x 4 – 64
- PCIe 3.0 x 4 – 32
Cooling
Cooler by Design
Enlarged VRM Heatsinks
The extensive surface area of this heatsink covers the MOSFETs and chokes to improve thermal performance.
AIO Pump Header
An integrated AIO management system enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, making it perfect for custom or all-in-one cooling setups.
Multiple Temperature Sources
Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimise cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
Smart Fan Protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from excess heat and electrical currents.
Superb PCH Heatsink
An expanded surface area for the chipset cooler maximises system performance and heat dissipation.
Enlarged M.2 Heatsinks
All three M.2 slots have dedicated heatsinks to help keep M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures and ensure consistent performance and reliability.
4-Pin PWM/DC Fan
All onboard fan headers support auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Cooler Compatibility
ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics and customisable functionality for new TUF Gaming motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig.

DIY
Easy PC DIY
PCIe Slot Q-Release
A physical lever unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one tap, greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.
Q-Antenna
With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.
M.2 Q-Latch
The innovative ASUS Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools or screws. This design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly detach it with one tap.
Q-LED
The on-board Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components ― CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage devices ― are functioning normally during startup. It can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed–even before booting.
BIOS FlashBack™
BIOS FlashBack™ simplifies BIOS updates. Just load the BIOS file onto a FAT32 USB stick, insert it into the BIOS FlashBack™ port, and press a button—no CPU or memory needed.
Pre-Mounted I/O shield
Our pre-installed I/O shield safeguards ports, simplifies the build process, increases functionality and enhances aesthetics for PC DIY enthusiasts.
