PERFORMANCE LEVEL UP

VRM THERMAL ENHANCEMENT

IMPROVED POWER DELIVERY, COOLING AND EFFICIENCY

TUF B450M-PRO GAMING has an enhanced VRM and heatsink to improve cooling performance. New alloy chokes provide higher power-conversion, lower power-dissipation and better temperature control for more efficient operation. Improved voltage tuning further increases performance. An optimized VRM layout and a larger VRM heatsink with bigger thermal pads that offer improved conductivity deliver increased heat dissipation, slower temperature build-up and better overall cooling efficiency.

FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS

FAN XPERT 2+

System temperatures are key to a stable gaming rig. TUF Gaming motherboards include FAN Xpert 2+ software that's able to intelligently control system fans based upon the input of sensor. This ensures that your TUF Gaming system stays perfectly cooled, no matter how long you play.

TUF X470-plus Gaming

FAN XPERT 2+

TUF B450M-PRO GAMING features the most comprehensive fan controls ever, configurable via FAN Xpert 2+ and our award-winning UEFI BIOS.
