The ultra-high-quality ASUS TUF X299 MARK 1 motherboard boasts exceptional stability, extreme durability and above average service life. The unique TUF design allows for building extremely powerful gaming computers. The motherboard is made of the highest-quality components, which were tested and certified in recognised laboratories, and comes equipped with the latest Asus technologies and game features as well as the latest Intel X299 chipset, support for Intel Optane/VROC SSDs and Asus Aura Sync.
The ASUS TUF X299 MARK 1 features the latest Intel X299 chipset, designed for the Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors, including the extremely powerful Intel Core i9-7900X CPU with ten cores – but it can also handle an 18-core chip. There are a total of 8 Quad channel slots for DDR4 RAM modules, with a maximum frequency of 2666MHz or 4133MHz after overclocking.
The motherboard features the Thermal Armor and 40mm fan, providing better airflow and faster heat dissipation. On the back, there's a reinforced backplate, the TUF Fortifier, that adds structural rigidity, making sure that the motherboard handles even heavy graphics cards and CPU coolers with ease. Featuring also a thermal pad, the TUF Fortifier directs heat away from the VRM and other components. The armor also comes with dust defenders, preventing dust and other airborne particles from entering the motherboard's expansion slots, while the ultra-efficient M.2 heatsink can slash SSD temperatures by up to 25°C.
It doesn't matter whether you have a multiple-GPU setup in a SLI or CrossFireX configuration – you're going to need an extremely efficient cooling system in place to get the best performance. To that end, the motherboard features the Thermal Radar 3 software, providing an incredibly accurate temperature monitoring as well as complete system cooling control, which allows you to reach optimal cooling setup with just a click.
