Asus TUF GAMING X870-plus WIFI Motherboard / Socket AM5

TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI

The ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI motherboard takes all the essentials of the latest AMD Ryzen™ processors and combines them with gaming-ready features and proven durability. Designed with military-grade components, an enhanced power solution, and a comprehensive cooling system, this motherboard exceeds expectations with solid and stable performance for gaming marathons. TUF GAMING motherboards also undergo rigorous endurance testing to ensure they can withstand conditions where others might fail. This platform provides the power and connectivity that advanced AI computing applications demand.

Complete AI solution

ASUS AI solutions – including AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II for thermal control, and AI Networking II for real-time bandwidth optimization – provide intelligent overclocking, efficient cooling, and new levels of ultra-fast connectivity.

DYNAMIC OC SWITCH

The Dynamic OC Switch maximizes CPU performance, allowing you to set current and temperature limits to automatically switch between manual overclocking for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard features an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.

CORE FLEX

Core Flex allows you to push the limits further than ever before, letting you control power and temperature in new and creative ways. In its simplest form, you can set breakpoints to gradually reduce the CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting various user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently, so you can bend CPU performance to your will.

UEFI BIOS

A physical button unlocks the security lock on the first PCIe slot with a single touch, greatly simplifying the process of disconnecting a PCIe card from the motherboard when it's time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.

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 includes 16(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power phases that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and controllers in packages of up to 80A each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance for current and future AMD processors.

DRAM overclocking performance

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of TUF GAMING motherboards. With this motherboard, you can unlock the full potential of your DDR5 modules*, whether they're from an extreme speed kit or a locked-down basic set.

ASUS AEMP

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is a unique firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips in 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 two M.2 PCIe 5.0 slots for the fastest data transfers of up to 128 Gbps*, and all M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations. All M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest speeds available.
