ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built around the AMD X570 chipset and the AM4 socket, designed for use with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors. Its enhanced power delivery system incorporates 12+2 Dr. MOS power stages alongside a 6-layer PCB, ProCool sockets, and Digi VRM digital power control, providing the stable, efficient power delivery that modern high-core-count AMD CPUs require during heavy workloads and overclocking sessions. On the platform connectivity front, the board offers PCIe 4.0 support when paired with 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors, unlocking maximum bandwidth for the primary x16 slot and both M.2 slots. Two M.2 Socket 3 (M Key) connectors support drives up to 22110 in length and operate in PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA modes. Eight SATA 6Gb/s ports round out storage expansion, with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support. Four DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 128 GB of unbuffered memory, with overclocked speeds reaching DDR4-4400 when using 3rd Gen Ryzen processors. The Realtek ALC S1200A 8-channel HD audio codec delivers up to 108 dB signal-to-noise ratio on stereo line-out and 103 dB SNR on line-in, supported by dedicated audio PCB layers, audio shielding, and Japanese audio capacitors. Networking is handled by the Realtek L8200A Gigabit Ethernet controller, complemented by TUF LANGuard surge protection and Turbo LAN traffic-shaping software. The rear I/O panel includes four USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports (two Type-A plus one Type-C), HDMI 1.4b, DisplayPort, optical S/PDIF output, five audio jacks, and a PS/2 combo port. Onboard headers add four USB 2.0, two USB 3.2 Gen 1, two Aura RGB strip headers, and one Addressable Gen 2 header for ARGB accessories. Comprehensive thermal management includes an active chipset heatsink with fan, a VRM heatsink, M.2 heatsink, hybrid fan headers, an AIO pump header, and Fan Xpert 4 software for precise fan-curve tuning. Protection features encompass SafeSlot reinforced PCIe x16 slot, ESD Guard, overvoltage protection, and a stainless-steel back I/O shield.
