*Specifications may vary depending on the model.

Optimized cooling design
1. VRM COOLER
A large, solid heatsink with a large surface area covering the VRM and the coil area improves heat dissipation.

Supports M.2 with 32Gbit/s
The M.2 slot supports hard drives up to a 2280 form factor and data transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps via x4 PCI Express® 3.0 bandwidth. This makes it ideal for an operating system or application drive to accelerate system boot and application loading.

USB 3.2 GEN 1 TYPE A
For use in high-end systems with many peripherals, numerous USB interfaces are available, including a Type-A™ port with extremely fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity for compatible devices.

EASY DIY PC BUILDING
TUF Gaming motherboards are designed to be easy to set up and customize, even for beginners. The TUF Gaming Alliance ecosystem makes selecting compatible parts easy. Meanwhile, the Armoury Crate software provides full control over system settings from a single dashboard. TUF Gaming motherboards give you everything you need to build your dream PC without unnecessary complexity.

Safe assembly
The TUF Gaming Alliance is a collaboration between ASUS and renowned PC component manufacturers to ensure maximum compatibility with a wide range of PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kits, and many other parts. With new partnerships and components added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance continues to grow.

SafeSlot Core+
SafeSlot Core+ is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot, reinforced with a one-piece stainless steel construction to protect the slot from damage. The metal cover is securely attached to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the circuit board with reinforced solder points to provide a secure base for heavy graphics cards.

ESD guards
The ESD guards extend the service life of components and prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge. They provide protection for up to +/-10 kV air discharge and up to +/-6 kV contact discharge – thus significantly exceeding the corresponding industry standards of +/-6 kV and +/-4 kV.

TUF LANGuard
TUF LANGuard is a new military-grade design that combines signal bundling and SMD capacitors to increase data throughput and protect the motherboard from lightning strikes or static electricity.

DRAM overvoltage protection
The self-resetting fuses on the motherboard prevent damage from overcurrents and short circuits. The protection extends from the connectors to the memory modules to protect both the system and connected devices from damage.

Connection panel made of stainless steel
TUF Gaming motherboards feature stainless steel I/O panels coated with a chromium oxide layer, providing three times the durability of conventional panels. This protective feature allows TUF Gaming motherboards to pass the 72-hour salt spray test, while other brands only last 24 hours.

BIOS FlashBack™
BIOS Flashback™ is the easiest and most secure way to update a (UEFI) BIOS. Simply drag a (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB flash drive, insert it into the USB BIOS FlashBack™ port, and press the button. Updates can be applied even if no memory or CPU is installed.

Armoury Crate
Armoury Crate is a new software utility that gives you centralized control over supported gaming products. Armoury Crate lets you customize RGB lighting and effects for every compatible device in your arsenal and synchronize them with Aura Sync for consistent system lighting—all from a single, intuitive interface. The software can also control settings for a select and growing number of products, including keyboard and mouse settings and fan speeds. This makes it even easier to customize your system's look and feel. Armoury Crate also features dedicated product registration and news sections to help you stay connected with the gaming community.

IMMERSIVE GAMING
The TUF Gaming A520M-Plus WIFI offers a comprehensive, powerful gaming package with a long list of features to enhance your gaming experience. These include ultrafast networking for smoother online gameplay and integrated RGB lighting that can be synchronized with connected accessories to create a personalized gaming atmosphere.

802.11ac Wi-Fi
The TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS WIFI features 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 1×1 2.4/5GHz antennas for transfer speeds of up to 433.3 Mbps*, ensuring the best possible wireless and online speeds for all connected users!

*Actual performance may vary depending on network conditions.

Outshine the Competition
A finely tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full control over RGB lighting and features a variety of functional presets for the integrated RGB LEDs and the RGB light strips connected to the RGB connectors on the motherboard. All LEDs can also be synchronized with an ever-growing range of Aura-enabled hardware.

Addressable Gen 2 RGB headers
The addressable Gen 2 RGB headers can now detect the number of LEDs on second-generation addressable RGB devices, allowing software to automatically adjust lighting effects to each device. The new connectors are also backward compatible with existing Aura RGB hardware.
