FEATURES

TUF GAMING ALLIANCE

TUF Gaming Alliance is the marque of collaboration between ASUS and major PC-component manufacturers, including trusted brands like Antec, Apacer, Ballistix, Cooler Master, Corsair, Deepcool, Enermax, G.Skill, GeIL, In Win, Scythe, SilverStone, Team Group and XPG. A growing range of compliant parts, from PC chassis and power supplies to CPU coolers and DRAM, guarantee both compatibility and aesthetic harmony.

TUF COMPONENTS

Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU, helping to improve system stability. TUF Capacitors offer+20% temperature tolerance and 5X-longer lifespan. Lastly, TUF MOSFETS are certified military-grade MOSFETs with lower RDS(on).

TUF PROTECTION

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.

FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS

TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING features comprehensive fan controls, configurable via FAN Xpert 2+ and our award-winning UEFI BIOS. With FAN Xpert 2+ you’re able to control system fans based on inputs from up to three temperature sources.

ULTRAFAST TRANSFER SPEED

With a backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A, you’ll experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. With x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps data-transfer speeds.

OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION

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.
