PCIe 5.0 graphics slot, PCIe 5.0 primary M.2, four DDR5 slots, Wi-Fi 7 and a VRM with enough current capacity to run a 9800X3D or 9900X flat out. It is a full ATX board, so cable headers are spread sensibly and the M.2 heatsinks are not fighting the graphics card for space. For a South African buyer spending most of the budget on the GPU, this is the right foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits below the ROG boards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou give up some rear I\/O density, the fancier audio implementation and the heavier heatsink hardware of the Strix range. There is no USB4 here, which is a B850 platform limitation rather than an ASUS one, so external 40 Gb\/s enclosures and single-cable docks need X870. Networking is 2.5 Gb rather than anything faster. Fill every M.2 socket and some SATA ports or expansion lanes are shared away, so check the manual before planning four drives. If you need USB4 or dual full-bandwidth PCIe slots, look at X870 or X870E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUF Gaming power stages with a heavy VRM heatsink for sustained loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot with quick-release latch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 M.2 socket with tool-free heatsink, plus additional M.2 sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth plus 2.5 Gb Realtek Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBIOS FlashBack, Q-LED diagnostics and Fan Xpert in the ASUS UEFI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD B850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AMD Socket AM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: ATX (305 x 244 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 4 x DDR5 DIMM slots, up to 256 GB, AMD EXPO support with high-speed overclocked profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 (primary graphics), plus additional PCIe x16 and x1 slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Multiple M.2 sockets (primary supports PCIe 5.0) plus 4 x SATA 6 Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: Realtek 7.1 surround high-definition audio with audio shielding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: HDMI and DisplayPort output, Wi-Fi antenna connectors, 2.5 Gb LAN, BIOS FlashBack and Clear CMOS buttons, audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C plus multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2, Gen 1 and USB 2.0 ports, with front-panel headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSATA 6 Gb\/s cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi moving antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 mounting screws, standoffs and thermal pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUF Gaming sticker and cable ties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser guide and driver documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASUS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASUS builds the TUF Gaming line to the same electrical standards as its enthusiast boards and spends the savings on trim rather than on components.
