TurboV Core provides overclocking enthusiasts with intuitive CPU and DRAM parameter configuration, accessible via ASUS DriverHub. Settings can be seamlessly changed directly from the Windows interface and applied immediately without a restart. ASUS DriverHub simplifies the installation and management of ASUS drivers and utilities, automatically detecting the latest driver versions and displaying available updates in a list with one-click installation and control. ASUS GlideX is a cross-device and cross-platform screen sharing and control solution that boosts productivity on PCs, tablets, and smartphones with screen mirroring, screen extension, unified control via a single keyboard and mouse, and easy file transfer.
Premium power delivery and system stability
A stable power supply is crucial for achieving maximum performance from Intel processors, and this motherboard is tailored to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs. It features 16 (80A) + 1 (80A) + 2 (80A) + 1 (80A) power stages, which integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80 amps, ensuring optimal power, efficiency, stability, and performance for current and future Intel processors. The eight-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat from the voltage regulators, improving overall system stability and giving the processor more overclocking headroom.
Memory and storage with advanced features
TUF GAMING motherboards offer comprehensive memory tuning features that let you get the full potential out of your DDR5 modules, whether they're from an extreme-speed kit or a basic set that would otherwise be locked. ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that enables you to achieve unparalleled memory performance with top-of-the-line CUDIMM memory through a two-phase, comprehensive tuning process. It first optimises the clock driver and then the memory frequency, delivering the best balance of performance and stability, even at top speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.
Advanced cooling solution
The motherboard offers excellent cooling performance thanks to enlarged VRM heatsinks, intelligent fan protection, and a superior PCH heatsink, ensuring stable operation even under heavy loads. The board is equipped with 4-pin PWM/DC fan headers and an AIO pump header, which allows for the connection of powerful water cooling systems. Multiple temperature sources provide precise monitoring of the system's thermal characteristics and enable fine-tuning of cooling curves. ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, a bold look, and customisable features for TUF Gaming motherboards, letting you build your dream gaming rig.
Enhanced connection and connectivity
The motherboard offers versatile connectivity options thanks to PCIe 5.0, Thunderbolt™ 4, and a front USB 20Gb/s Type-C port with Fast Charge support. PCIe 5.0 offers double the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0 with an aggregated bandwidth of up to 512Gb/s, so it is robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks, brings electrical changes that improve signal integrity, and has backwards-compatible connectors for previous PCIe versions. Each Thunderbolt 4 port provides up to 40Gb/s of bidirectional bandwidth for modern, super-fast devices and drives. Both ports can be used for up to two external 4K monitors.
Simple PC DIY features
The motherboard offers a range of Q-features that make installing and maintaining components easier without needing special tools. The PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim lets you release the graphics card by simply tilting it towards the latch mechanism, eliminating the need to fiddle with a complicated latch. M.2 Q-Release features a convenient quick-release switch for the heatsink, which eliminates the need for tiny screws when installing an SSD, and its strong locking mechanism provides a tight contact surface, ensuring reliable heat dissipation.
Advanced component protection and the TUF GAMING Alliance
The motherboard features a comprehensive protection system, including SafeSlot and SafeDIMM technologies. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath integrated into the PCIe slot, ensuring a firm card installation and the highest possible data transfer speeds. Meanwhile, the integrated SafeDIMM cover protects memory modules, allowing for fast, precise, and secure insertion. The TUF GAMING Alliance is a collaboration between ASUS and trusted PC component brands that ensures compatibility with a wide range of parts, such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, and memory kits. New partnerships are constantly being formed, expanding the alliance and giving users confidence that all selected components will work reliably in their gaming build.
Ultra-fast networking and connectivity
This motherboard offers a feature-packed, high-performance gaming suite with ultra-fast networking for smoother online gaming. The integrated Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet enhances your LAN connection, increasing bandwidth by up to 2.5×. Using your existing LAN cable, you can take advantage of this network upgrade to reduce lag, play smoother high-definition videos, and enjoy faster file transfers. The latest generation of WiFi 7 supports a 160MHz bandwidth in the 6GHz band and 4096 QAM. The Multi-Link Operation (MLO) feature ensures a stable, low-latency connection, and with support for the 2.4, 5, and 6GHz bands, it offers better coverage and throughput.
Sound and lighting
The motherboard uses the Realtek ALC1220P audio codec, designed in close collaboration with Realtek, offering an unprecedented 120dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for stereo line-out and 113dB for line-in, guaranteeing pristine 7.1 surround sound quality. DTS Audio Processing enhances the audio from gaming headsets and speakers by reducing distortion and providing deeper bass, making games, films, and music sound better. It also lets you customise audio settings in music, movie, gaming, or custom modes. The TUF GAMING motherboard is equipped with edge lighting that adds a special touch to its rugged design. ASUS Aura offers complete RGB control with presets for integrated LEDs and third-party strips, which can be synchronised with an ever-expanding portfolio of Aura-compatible hardware.
