UEFI BIOS
ASUS's renowned UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, enhance, and fine-tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for novice PC DIY enthusiasts and comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.
Premium Power Design
Stable power delivery is critical for maximizing the full performance of Intel processors. The motherboard is designed to meet the needs of processors with a high core count. It features 12(80A) + 1(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power phases, which incorporate high-side and low-side MOSFETs as well as drivers, in packages that support up to 80A each. This configuration ensures optimal power supply, efficiency, stability, and performance for both current and future Intel processors.
AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that allows users to achieve unparalleled memory performance using advanced CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at top speeds of DDR5-7600 or higher.
Overclocking DRAM Performance
The comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of TUF GAMING motherboards. With the motherboard, you can harness the full potential of your DDR5 modules, whether it's a set with ultra-high speeds or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.
M.2 PCIe 5.0 Support
This motherboard also features a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot to enjoy the fastest data transfers of up to 128 Gbps, while all M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds.
PCIe 5.0 for graphics cards
PCIe 5.0 offers double the data transfer speed compared to PCIe 4.0, making it powerful enough to handle new, data-intensive tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other advantages, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connections for add-on cards, and full compatibility with previous versions of the PCIe bus.
High-Speed Networking
2.5Gb Ethernet
The integrated 2.5Gb Ethernet takes the LAN connection to a new level, improving bandwidth speeds up to 2.5 times faster than 1Gb connections.
WiFi 7
The next-generation WiFi 7 supports 160 MHz bandwidth in the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM. The multi-link operation (MLO) ensures stable connections and low latency, supporting the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands for improved coverage and data transmission speed.
Realtek 7.1 Channel Audio
The unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek for the TUF GAMING B860 motherboards features an unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio of 98 dB for the stereo line-out, providing excellent audio quality.
