Built TUF
Designed to withstand hours of gameplay, the TUF GAMING incorporates reliable chokes and capacitors for enhanced performance. Stack Cool 3+ is comprised from 2-ounce copper layers which draw heat away from the critical components, maintaining optimal temperatures on the PCB layer. An integrated Digi+ Voltage-Regulator Module (VRM) ensures smooth and clean power delivery to the CPU. Enhanced VRM heatsink protects the choke areas to improve heat dissipation.
Built to Last
A wide range of hardware enhancements give the TUF GAMING enhanced durability and extra reliability, giving you peace of mind as you game away. SafeSlot Core+ is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot fortified with a one-piece stainless-steel brace that shields the slot to protect it from damage. The metal cover is tightly secured to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the PCB with strengthened solder points to provide a secure foundation for heavyweight graphics cards. ESD Guards, stainless-steel back I/O panel, DRAM overvoltage protection, and TUF LANGuard all work together to ensure your connections remain strong over the years.
ASUS Aura Sync
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. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware. The addressable Gen 2 RGB headers are now capable of detecting the number of LEDs on second-gen addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers also offer backward-compatibility with existing Aura RGB gear.

Bang for your buck

Installed this for my kids budget game build. Well worth the money and performs great, no complaints or cursing during gaming, only when screen time kicks in.

Good performance without breaking the budget

Needed a performance boost to improve painfully slow performance of my Ryzen 3 with Photo AI. This Ryzen 5, with 64GB RAM moved processing images from slow to acceptable while remaining within a retirement-limited budget. I'm happy with the results.
