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
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 kits and 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.
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 2.5X-longer lifespan.
TUF MOSFETS
Certified military-grade MOSFETs with lower RDS(on)*.
*Lower RDS(on) results in better power efficiency and reduced heat
generation.
TUF LANGUARD
TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that integrates advanced
signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve
throughput, protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static
electricity.
Optimized Thermal Design
The TUF Z390M-PRO GAMING (WI-FI)'s VRM and inductor array is coupled to a
large heatsink that has ample surface area to deal with the thermals of Intel's
latest processors.
ProCool Socket
ENHANCED EATX 8-PIN SOCKET
- Solid and more durable
- Prevent hotspots and connector failure
Compared with traditional power inputs, ProCool sockets are built to tight
specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines. This lowers
impedance, which helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.
Optimem II SUPPORT
DDR4 OC 4266 MHZ+
To provide Intel's latest processors' unfettered access to memory bandwidth,
we've reimagined motherboard trace routing from the ground up. Our OptiMem II
tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce
vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to
further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations,
we've employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned
signaling.
ASUS OptiMem II advantage:
ASUS OptiMem benefits:
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Improved memory frequency margin
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.
FAN XPERT 4
TUF Z390M-PRO GAMING (WI-FI) features the most comprehensive fan controls
ever, configurable via Fan Expert 4.
- 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.
