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
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 is a collaboration between ASUS and trusted PC-component
brands to ensure compatibility with a wide range of parts, such as PC cases,
power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kitsand more. With more partnerships and
components being added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance will continue to grow
even stronger.
TUF PROTECTION
SAFESLOT
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
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
KEYBOARDS AND MOUSE CONNECTORS
Additional on-circuit ESD transient-voltage-suppression.
USB CONNECTORS
TVS diode for surface-mount and dual-inline package.
DIGI+ VRM
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
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
TUF's corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panels bonded with
chromium oxide have a lifespan that's 3X longer than traditional panels. TUF
Gaming motherboard passed 72 hours salt fog test while other brands only passed
24 hours test.
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
TUF Gaming motherboards are designed to be easy to set up and configure just
the way you want, even for first-time builders. With simplified CPU and memory
overclocking to optimize and boost performance, intelligent cooling controls for
better system stability, and helpful troubleshooting tools to get you up and
running quickly if you encounter problems, TUF Gaming motherboards give you
everything you need to build your dream gaming rig without adding
complexity.
Easy Trouble Shooting
MEMOK! II
MemOK! II automatically fixes boot failures that arise due to memory
overclocking and instability. When a DRAM-related POST error occurs, the
motherboard adjusts memory parameters until the system is able to start.
Quick Installation
Q-INSTALLER, NO DRIVER DISC REQUIRED
ASUS Q-Installer software provides automatic download and installation of
drivers and utilities for your TUF Gaming motherboard. Choose just the options
you want from a user-friendly interface and Q-Installer will do the rest.
FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS
GPU TEMPERATURE SENSING
System temperatures are key to a stable gaming rig ? especially GPU
temperatures. TUF Gaming motherboards include Fan Xpert 4 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.
Multiple temperature sources
With Fan Xpert 4 you're able to control system fans based on inputs from up
to three temperature sources. For example, Fan Xpert 4 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 4 to do the rest.
All-in-one water-cooling set
Enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, perfect for both custom and
self-contained cooling setups.
4-pin PWM/DC fan
Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Smart protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature
and overcurrent.
GAMING PERFORMANCE AND ASTHETIC CUSTOMIZATION
TUF Gaming Z390 provides a complete, high-performance gaming package with a
long list of features to improve your experience, including ultrafast networking
for smoother online gameplay, immersive audio with positional cues for FPS
gaming, and onboard RGB lighting that syncs with attached accessories to help
you create the perfect gaming atmosphere.
Intel Integrated Ultra Wi-Fi support
TUF Z390-PLUS GAMING (WI-FI) features the latest Intel 802.11ac Wi-Fi with

fact, its integrated Wireless-AC 9560 Wi-Fi adapter pushes wireless data up to
2X faster than other Wi-Fi solutions — so you'll get fast, smooth transfers,
even when your rig is further away from the router. Intel Wireless-AC 9650 also
offers Bluetooth 5 for connections that are up to 2X faster than ever before,
and with up to 4X the range.
