ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI Overview
Enjoy rich and immersive gaming experiences with the ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI AM5 ATX Motherboard as your foundation for your custom build. Supporting AMD 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors and fast connectivity, this durable socket AM5 motherboard is ready for overclocked components and demanding AI workloads.
Four DDR5 DIMM slots are available, supporting up to 192GB of memory for smooth multitasking, large projects, and demanding applications. For storage, you can install up to two M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSDs alongside an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 drive and one M.2 22110 PCIe 4.0 drive. There are also two SATA III connectors. A PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is available for powerful graphics cards while the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot supports compatible expansions. With two USB4 ports on the rear panel, you can connect 40 Gb/s compatible devices or a USB-C compatible 8K display. They are complemented by three 10 Gb/s compatible USB-A ports, four 5 Gb/s USB-A Gen 1 ports, and one USB-A 2.0 port. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet port provide you with fast connections to compatible network devices. Windows 11 is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.
Maximize CPU performance with predictions for ideal CPU and cooling settings, pushing your system to its limits.
Maintain optimal thermals and reduced noise with dynamic fan speed adjustments based on CPU temperatures.
Optimize network performance and help ensure seamless connectivity and maximized Wi-Fi 7 speeds.
The Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced current protection mechanism to help prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.?
Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control power and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.
Simplify driver management with automatic detection, one-click installation and update for smooth, efficient system performance.
Leverage all-around energy efficiency settings to optimize power consumption.
Using this app enables smooth screen sharing and control across PCs, tablets, and smartphones via wired or wireless connections, across multiple platforms.
Customize Aura Sync RGB and control ASUS devices using the Armoury Crate software.
Sporting 16(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages with two 8-pin ProCool power connectors, the TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI delivers reliable and stable performance with high-core count CPUs, graphics cards, and other power-intensive components. The Digi+ VRM provides real-time voltage control while the durable chokes, capacitors, and eight-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around voltage regulators and offers greater overclocking headroom.
With the TUF GAMING 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.
For those looking to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support and a wide array of UEFI settings provide a variety of performance tweaks.
Memory modules without AMD EXPO support can use the ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) firmware feature, which automatically detects memory chips and provides optimized frequency, timing, and voltage profiles that you can quickly apply.
Each of the two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots provide up to 128 Gb/s data transfers with compatible SSDs. All M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations for enhanced performance.
Designed for overclocking, the TUF GAMING motherboard maintains optimal performance and stability with fan and AIO pump headers, a dedicated fan circuit, and enlarged heat sinks for the M.2 slots and VRM.
Doubling the data speed of the previous generation, the PCIe 5.0 slot allows you to install high-end graphics cards and other expansions. A PCIe 4.0 x16 slot is also available for compatible expansions.
Transfer massive project files with 40 Gb/s compatible storage drives. The USB4 ports also allow you to connect either one 8K monitor or two 4K displays for enhanced multitasking.
This motherboard features a 20 Gb/s USB-C front panel connector for speedy data transfers with compatible devices. Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology provides up to 30W charging with compatible devices.
Wi-Fi 7 supports 160 MHz bandwidth on the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) ensures stable connections and low latency, supporting 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands for enhanced coverage and throughput.
An onboard 2.5G Ethernet port provides fast and stable connectivity to compatible wired devices.
A physical lever unlocks the first PCIe slot's security latch with one tap, which simplifies the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it's time to upgrade.
With Q-Antenna, attaching a Wi-Fi antenna to your PC is a snap. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place.
The ASUS Q-Latch allows you to install or remove an M.2 SSDs 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.
The on-board Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components are functioning normally during startup. It can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed.
BIOS FlashBack makes BIOS updates easy. 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.
With SafeSlot technology, the PCIe 5.0 slot is reinforced with a metal sheath that ensures secure card installation and dependable performance. The SafeDIMM sheath protects memory modules so that you can insert them with accuracy and speed.
Special TVS diodes boost electrostatic discharge prevention by up to 10 kV.
TUF LANGuard integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and surface mounted capacitors to improve throughput while helping to protect the motherboard from lighting strikes and electrostatic electricity.
Stainless Steel I/O Panel
The corrosion-resistant stainless steel rear I/O panel has passed 72-hour long fog and salt tests to ensure a long lifespan.
This motherboard utilizes a the Realtek ALC1220P codec, which delivers pristine audio quality with a 120 dB signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio for the stereo line out and a 113 dB SNR for the line in. Additionally, an impedance-sensing circuit automatically adjusts gain to ensure an optimal volume range for your headphones.
DTS Audio Processing enhances gaming headset and speaker audio experiences by reducing distortion and by providing deeper bass, so games, movies and music sound better. It also allows you to customize audio settings.
Enjoy complete RGB lighting control and synchronize the effects with compatible peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and monitors.
Addressable Gen 2 RGB headers
The three addressable Gen 2 headers automatically optimize lighting effects for the number of LEDs present on compatible ARGB gear.
