TUF COMPONENTS

TUF CHOKES

Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU, helping to improve system stability.

TUF CAPACITORS

+52% 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.

FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS

Fan Xpert 2+

System temperatures are key to a stable gaming rig ― especially GPU temperatures. TUF Gaming motherboards include Fan Xpert or 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.

TUF B360 Plus Gaming

Fan Xpert 2+

TUF B360-PLUS GAMING features the most comprehensive fan controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 2+ Core and our award-winning UEFI BIOS.

  • Multiple temperature sources
  • All-in-one water-cooling set
  • With Fan Xpert 2+ Core you're able to control system fans based on inputs from up to three temperature sources. For example, Fan Xpert 2+ Core 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+ Core to do the rest.

  • Enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, perfect for both custom and self-contained cooling setups.

  • Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

  • A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature and overcurrent.

Improved DDR4 Stability

ASUS OptiMem

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 advantage:

ASUS OptiMem benefits:

Improved memory stability and compatibility
Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
Improved memory frequency margin

Tested by using Synopsys HSPICE simulation software

A larger signal eye results in improved stability, more overclocking headroom, and lower operating voltages.
