Wi-Fi 7 is worth having in South Africa where fibre routers have moved on quickly and a wired run to the study is not always practical. Drop it into a compact mid-tower with a mid-range GPU and you have a machine that stays current for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you accept for the smaller footprint\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpansion is the obvious cost. Micro-ATX gives you fewer slots, and a thick triple-slot graphics cooler will often block whatever sits below it. Header count is thinner too, so builders running six case fans and multiple RGB strips will need splitters. B850 as a platform has no USB4, so 40 Gb\/s external enclosures need an X870 board. Wired networking is 2.5 Gb only. If you want more slots, more headers or USB4, the full-size B850-Plus or an X870 board is the better buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUF Gaming power stages with a large VRM heatsink\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 storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth and 2.5 Gb Realtek Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBIOS FlashBack, Q-LED diagnostics and Fan Xpert control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS TUF Gaming B850M-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: Micro-ATX (244 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 (graphics), plus additional PCIe 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 button, audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C plus 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 B850M-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 refreshes its boards as radios and standards move rather than leaving buyers on last year's wireless hardware.
