Premium Power Design
Stable power is crucial for maximizing 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.
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, optimized for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.
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*, whether they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.
* Memory overclocking may vary between CPU series. Please refer to the spec table for detailed information.
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 optimized 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*, and all M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds.
Cooler by Design

Empowering Connection
This motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity with PCIe 5.0, rear USB 20Gbps Type-C port, front USB 10Gbps Type-C connector and Thunderbolt (USB4 ) header support.
PCIe 5.0 for Graphics Card
PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards and backward compatibility with previous versions of the PCIe bus.
Rear USB 20Gbps Type-C
Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of external devices. This motherboard includes a USB 20Gbps Type-C port on the rear I/O panel that delivers transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps.
Front USB 10Gbps Type-C
This motherboard features a USB 10Gbps Type-C front panel connector for speedy data transfers of up to 10Gbps.
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.
SafeSlot & SafeDIMM
SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath integrated with a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed and to ensure the highest possible data speeds. The SafeDIMM sheath is integrated to protect memory modules, empowering you to insert them with speed, accuracy and confidence.
ESD Guards
ASUS added special TVS diodes to boost electrostatic discharge prevention by up to +/- 10 kV of air discharge and +/- 6 kV of contact discharge - well above the industry standard.
TUF LANGuard
TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput, helping to protect the motherboard from lightning strikes and static electricity.
