Not here. The B850M-Plus WiFi carries the same PCIe 5.0 graphics slot and PCIe 5.0 primary M.2 as the full-size TUF board, four DDR5 slots rather than two, and Wi-Fi 7. It fits smaller and cheaper cases, which matters when a mid-tower is competing for space in a flat or a shared room. Pair it with a 9600X or 9800X3D and a mid-range GPU and you have a machine that gives up nothing to a larger build in the games you actually play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe trade-offs of the smaller board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicro-ATX means fewer expansion slots, so a capture card or sound card alongside the GPU is often not possible once the graphics cooler covers the slot below. Fan and RGB headers are fewer and more tightly spaced, and cable management is harder because the board does not reach the full width of a mid-tower's cable channel. As with all B850 boards there is no USB4, and networking tops out at 2.5 Gb. Buyers who want more expansion, more headers or USB4 should take the full ATX B850-Plus or step up to X870.\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 plus 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 does not treat Micro-ATX as a lesser tier, and this board carries the same lane allocation and BIOS support as its full-size sibling.
