Description

The Asus TUF Gaming A520M-Plus II motherboard is aimed at users seeking a reliable and affordable solution for building a computer with an AMD processor. The A520 series is part of AMD's 3rd generation Ryzen motherboards and offers essential functions and features for users' everyday needs.

The Asus TUF Gaming A520M-Plus II motherboard offers PCIe Gen3 expansion slots for connecting peripheral devices, DDR4 memory support with maximum speed, USB 3.2 Gen1 slots for fast data transfer, and M.2 slots for fast storage units.

This motherboard is suitable for users looking for an economical solution for general use, multimedia, and simple tasks. It provides the ability to upgrade and expand the system to meet users' future needs.

VRM Heatsink

A large high-mass heatsink with an extended surface covering the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation.

Fan Control

The TUF Gaming A520M-Plus II features comprehensive fan controls that can be configured via the Fan Xpert 2+ utility or the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.

  • Each HEADER can be configured to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 2+ or via UEFI.
  • All onboard chassis fan headers support auto-detection of PWM and DC fans.
  • A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent.

Storage

The M.2 slot supports up to 2280 and data transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps through x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth, allowing for faster boot and application load times with operating system or application drives.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A

Numerous USB ports support gaming rigs loaded with peripherals, including USB Type-A slots with fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity for compatible cases.

TUF Gaming Alliance

The TUF Gaming Alliance is a collaboration between ASUS and trusted PC component brands to ensure compatibility with a wide range of parts, such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kits, and more.

With more partnerships and components being added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance will continue to grow even further.

SafeSlot Core+

SafeSlot Core+ is ASUS's exclusive PCIe slot, reinforced with a one-piece stainless steel bracket that shields the slot to protect it from damage.

The metal cover is securely fastened to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the PCB with reinforced solder points to provide a secure base for heavy graphics cards.

BIOS FlashBack

BIOS FlashBack is the simplest and safest method of updating the BIOS (UEFI). Simply place the (UEFI) BIOS file on a FAT32-formatted USB stick, connect it to the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can be performed even without memory or a CPU installed.

Armoury Crate

Armoury Crate is a new software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate allows you to easily customize the lighting and RGB effects for every compatible device in your arsenal and synchronize them with Aura Sync for unique system lighting effects.

The software also provides control over settings for a selected and growing number of products, including keyboard and mouse preferences as well as fan speeds, making it easy to adjust the appearance and atmosphere of your system.

Aura Sync RGB Lighting

A well-tuned system deserves a corresponding aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full control of RGB lighting with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LED lights as well as for the strips connected to the built-in RGB headers. And all of this can be synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
