Performance
Premium Power Design
Stable power is crucial for maximising the performance of Intel processors. The motherboard is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 12(80A) + 1(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 Intel processors.
- 12 VCCCORE Power (80A, DrMOS)
- 1 VCCGT Power (80A, DrMOS)
- 2 VCCSA Power (80A, DrMOS)
- 1 VNNAON 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.
AEMP III
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimises the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-7600 or higher. (Results may vary according to individual system specifications. Currently, only 2-DIMM configurations are supported. Results are based on a test with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and 2x16GB SK Hynix DDR5-6400 Clocked Unbuffered DIMM RAM, model HMCG78AHBCA326N.)
- 7600 (OC) – AEMP III – Up to 19%
- 6400 – Intel DDR5 Baseband
DIMM Fit
DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyses individual memory modules to optimise performance and pinpoint potential issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability.
Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritising rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimisations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.
M.2 PCIe 5.0 Support
This motherboard also features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots 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 be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 2+ or via the UEFI.
Smart Fan Protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from excess heat and electrical currents.
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.
Superb PCH Heatsink
An expanded surface area for the chipset cooler maximises system performance and heat dissipation.
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.
