Customers admire the TUF GAMING X570-PLUS motherboard's performance, ease of use, and BIOS, frequently citing its strong Wi-Fi capabilities and excellent price-to-performance ratio. Many appreciate the user-friendly setup and the inclusion of useful features. However, some users express concern regarding the lack of a USB-C header and the placement of the chipset fan, which can be obstructed by certain graphics cards. The motherboard's compatibility and RAM options are also frequently praised.
The MB has nearly a blackout design. It appears well made and has what’s needed for perhaps a 1st time builder or someone who has no desire to wrap up $10k in a build that has a threadripper and multiple GPU’s. It has everything needed for an ADVANCED build: space for 4-DDR4 RAM up to 4,000Hz. There’s room for 2 GPUS running in SLI. 2-M.2 ports. It’s an X570 board and supports PCIe 4.0. It’s wireless if that’s what you need. Has more than enough SATA ports. I cannot think of any reason a builder would need anything more than this board unless you are a serious, high end, enthusiast that is spending upward of $10,000.00 on their build. The price point is good. It was easy to install. All hardware necessary was included. BIOS was easy to navigate and update. I was really looking at some of the $400-$700 MB’s because I felt as though I had to have “THE BEST”. But then I had to reality check myself and ask...”What do I need?” I realized this MB has literally EVERYTHING I needed. No frills. I didn’t need to spend an extra $500 on a top of the line MB that has technology that requires very expensive hardware to take advantage of it. If you’re looking for an excellent MB for less than $200, then this would be it! Even several PC reviewers recommend this MB for under $200. No regrets...absolutely none. I love this MB.

Great motherboard for the ones that don't want to break the bank with more expensive x570 ones. The VRM's are excellent (check buildzoids youtube channel, gives great opinion on then, and also Hardwareunboxed, they tested the temps, and are among the lowest VRM's temps for the price). Stability is great, I have it paired with a Ryzen 9 3900x and it can boost up to 4.55Ghz totally stock (very close to the 4.6ghz advertised). I also have two 16gb sticks of corsair vengeange pro rgb 3200mhz, overclocked at 3600mhz (using Ryzen dram timings calculator) totally stable. It has nice features, like wifi and gig lan. The onboard sound is nice and up to 7.1. Some people say the chipset fan is noisy, but can't hear it at all, granted my PC is in the floor and closed. It does spin all the time though, I wish Asus would provide a bios update with fan profiles for it (like other mobos, like a silent one when temps are low and then ramps up when temps go up). It does not support SLI, but who cares, SLI and Crossfire are dead now anyways. There was a bios update, latest one is 1005, highlty recommend to update it. Only con, is it appears to have an incompatibility with my Fnatic streak keyboard, but just in the bios. Its totally useless, it lags and I cannot type at all in there to change values. Once it boots to windows its fine. Hope it can be fixed on a bios update. Other than that, great mobo for 3rd gen ryzen for the price, the VRM'S are great (12+2, actually 4 phases but tripled, which are more than fine, see the reviews above on those youtube channels!).

Good motherboard for the price! You can get better for a little more! but if on a budget this is a great start! There is no USB c support directly on the board. If you need this will need to go to the Pro series for $50 more or put in a card for this. though this will remove built in wifi.. So far it has worked well and have had no issues! keep in mind the two M2 slots are different versions!!! the one is the current generation, the other is the prior gen! nice part is this lets you save a few $$ on the secondary drive and go larger! I went 1TB for main drive and 2 TB for my secondary! I used Samsung EVO drives with no issues! I am running 64 GB of ram using the corsair RGB Vengence ram with no issues at all. I also went with the 5900x processor which has run perfectly with no issues! Also running a 3080 EVGA RTX card with no issues! I have not attempted to try the bluetooth or the wifi. I generally prefer wired devices.
