Overview
Arm Your Battlestation
TUF Gaming motherboards are specially designed and tested to survive and
thrive in conditions where other boards would struggle. Engineered with highly
durable components, these motherboards deliver unwavering stability for gaming
sessions that last as long as you demand.
When you build with a TUF Gaming motherboard, you also benefit from the TUF
Gaming Alliance an ASUS collaboration with trusted industry partners that
ensures easier building, the best compatibility, and complementary aesthetics
from components to case.
Easy PC DIY Experience
TUF Gaming motherboards offer easy and safe DIY builds by leveraging great
design, innovative engineering, and strong partnerships with major component
manufacturers. The unrivalled combination of military-grade TUF Components, TUF
Protection and the TUF Gaming Alliance means that you can rest assured that your
gaming rig will go the distance.
TUF gaming alliance
TUF Gaming Alliance is the marque of collaboration between ASUS and major
PC-component manufacturers, including trusted brands like Ballistix, Cooler
Master, Corsair, G.Skill, In Win and Themaltake. A growing range of compliant
parts, from PC chassis and power supplies to CPU coolers and DRAM, guarantee
both compatibility and aesthetic harmony. We're also continually increasing our
partnerships, making the TUF Gaming Alliance ever stronger.
TUF PROTECTION
SAFESLOT
Protect your graphics card investment
SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide
superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using
a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates fortifying metal for an
inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through
additional solder points.
ESD GUARDS
Electrostatic discharge protection
ESD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from
electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10kV of air
discharge and +/- 6kV of contact discharge greatly surpassing the respective
industry standards of +/- 6kV and +/- 4kKV
LAN PORT
ESD TVS diode protection on the LAN Circuit.
KEYBOARDS AND MOUSE CONNECTORS
Additional on-circuit ESD transient-voltage-suppression.
VGA PROTECTION
Additional on-circuit ESD TVS diodes to protect D-Sub functionality.
USB CONNECTORS
TVS diode for surface-mount and dual-inline package.
DIGI+ VRM
Precision control for stable power
The Digi+ VRM voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the
industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all
times.
DRAM OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Short-circuit damage prevention
Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This
extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of your system and
connected devices.
STAINLESS-STEEL BACK I/O
3X-better corrosion resistance
TUF's corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panels are bonded with
chromium oxide ? so they can endure a 72-hour salt-spray test, compared to the
industry standard of just 24 hours.
TUF COMPONENTS
TUF CHOKES
Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU,
helping to improve system stability.
TUF CAPACITORS
+20% temperature tolerance and 5X-longer lifespan.
TUF MOSFETS
Certified military-grade MOSFETs with lower RDS(on).
Lower RDS(on) results in better power efficiency and reduced heat generation.
PERFORMANCE LEVEL UP
FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS
FAN XPERT 2+
System temperatures are key to a stable gaming rig ? especially GPU
temperatures. TUF Gaming motherboards include FAN Xpert 2+ software that's able
to intelligently control system fans based upon the input of multiple sensors,
including the temperature of ASUS graphics cards*. This ensures that your TUF
Gaming system stays perfectly cooled, no matter how long you play.
FAN XPERT 2+
TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING features the most comprehensive fan controls ever,
configurable via FAN Xpert 2+ and our award-winning UEFI BIOS.
Multiple temperature sources
With FAN Xpert 2+ you're able to control system fans based on inputs from up
to three temperature sources. For example, FAN Xpert 2+ can be set to spin up
the chassis fans in response to the GPU temperature. So, when the gaming action
heats up, additional cooling kicks in just when you most need it. Choose your
temperature sources and thresholds, from motherboard and CPU to GPU, and leave
FAN Xpert 2+ to do the rest.
4-pin
PWM/DC fan Enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, perfect for both
custom and self-contained cooling setups.
Smart protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature
and overcurrent.
Improved DDR4 Stability
ASUS OPTIMEM
A larger signal eye results in improved stability, more overclocking
headroom, and lower operating voltages.
ASUS OptiMem advantage
ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing traces and vias to
the optimal PCB layer, and our T-Topology trace layout ensures time-aligned
signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements
allow the TUF Gaming motherboards to support a wide range of dual and quad-DIMM
memory kits, while providing your rig with the stability it needs to deal with
any type of workload - whether you're gaming or running intensive
applications.
ASUS OptiMem benefits
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Improved memory frequency margin
OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION
EDGE ZONE
A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB
lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs
as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced
with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

With x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps data-transfer
speeds. It's the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive,
making your PC and apps work as fast as possible.
Intel Optane Memory Ready
Intel Optane is a revolutionary non-volatile memory technology supported by
TUF Gaming motherboards. Intel Optane memory modules accelerate attached storage
to reduce boot and load times, so everything feels faster and more
responsive.
