Customer Ratings & Reviews

It has a great asterisk to it and runs great. Plenty of room for storage and not covered in rgb. That’s one thing I love most about it. But for performance it’s great I haven’t run into an issue easy to get the drivers and asus has never let me down.

In June of this year, I embarked on an exciting journey and constructed my first gaming and workstation rig using this incredible motherboard. The experience was exhilarating, watching all the components come together to create a powerful machine. Inspired by the results, I couldn't resist the urge to share the joy of building with others, so I ordered four additional ASUS TUF motherboards. With these, I set out to craft impressive gaming and workstation PCs for my friends and family, turning their dreams of high-performance computing into a reality.

Great Value for the price. Motherboard has nice features and is a good layout. I like the fan headers spread out thru the board it makes connecting fans easier. Also board has been running rock solid with 9800x3d and gskill 6000 ddr5 memory. Tuf branding I'm not the biggest fan of but the location of the letters doesn't Show in my PC Build

So before I bought this motherboard I had problems with a previous one. This ASUS TUF X870 change my pc in the best way possible. Very thankful it had no problems on boot up and a very clean aesthetic. Thank you ASUS. Absolutely worth the money.

This board is amazing ,its supper user friendly with things like the q latch for the graphics card and easy acces to the m.2 drive locations , also its pretty clean looking with the built in rgb lighting and heat shields on everything, this was the first pc ive built and i feel like this mother board made it extremely easy they had great instruction with it and also included some goodies like stickers, sata cables, even a antanna for tbe wifi 7, really great purchase 10 out of 10 i wouod recomend anybody this motherboard

Put this motherboard in my new PC build. Been running strong for the last two weeks so far so good and I’m super happy with the feature set.

Nothing says TUF like a box full of rainbows, this Asus motherboard is about all you're going to need to make sure the X3D is operational and everything on your system is stable. Great company with exceptional help support also!

Great performance. A bit pricy but worth the money. Highly recommend

Works great. No need update out the box. I’ve always enjoyed armory crate

Great preforming motherboard. Upgrade from my B650m

Very easy to install, feels very well built. The built-in AI overclocking is an amazing feature. It is a one click feature. You may not get as much overclocking as you would manually overclocking, but if you’re very unfamiliar with overclocking, it will get you most of the way there.

Feels well built and it gives a sence of premium to your pc, the wifi antenna will not work until you install drivers so consider that when assembling

Asus motherboard is fast has alot of features and supports am5 which is my chipset

It works very well and stable, I am very satisfied

Awesome board bought at the retail price. You get what you pay for it.

From the outset, the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi motherboard distinguishes itself with a sturdy, premium feel—clearly built with longevity in mind. It’s designed to handle AMD’s latest Ryzen™ 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors, making it a platform that won’t feel outdated anytime soon. With support for up to 192GB of DDR5 RAM running at speeds as high as 8000 MT/s, it provides the headroom serious gamers, content creators, and performance enthusiasts need to push their systems further. Storage-wise, the emphasis on M.2 drives is evident. By offering four M.2 slots, the board anticipates the shift away from traditional SATA setups. While only two SATA ports are present, the dominance of M.2 is hard to ignore, especially given the speed and convenience those drives offer. For those still reliant on SATA-based drives, it’s worth noting this limitation before finalizing a build. Connectivity is a strength here, with two USB4® 40Gbps Type-C® ports that streamline data transfers and device compatibility. The front USB Type-C header with up to 30W Power Delivery is a valuable addition for quick-charging devices. Networking is equally future-ready, thanks to the included WiFi 7 antenna and a 2.5Gb Ethernet port, ensuring both wireless and wired setups can fully capitalize on high-speed internet connections. User convenience is clearly a priority. Features like the PCIe Slot Q-Release and M.2 Q-Latch make component swaps more intuitive, reducing the risk of damage or frustration during upgrades. The Q-Antenna offers a straightforward way to optimize wireless connectivity, and Q-LED indicators simplify troubleshooting. BIOS FlashBack™ remains a handy tool for easy firmware updates, allowing adjustments without the need for a CPU or GPU installed. Visually, this board strikes a balance between subtlety and flair. It doesn’t rely on flashy RGB effects, yet the design around the I/O panel and chipset cooler stands out in a way that’s both functional and appealing. The only potential drawback is the bulk of the VRM and M.2 heatsinks, which can create cramped conditions in tighter cases or when using oversized GPUs. In the end, this board feels like a well-rounded choice for a long-term build. Its flexible memory options, forward-leaning storage setup, and user-friendly installation features all contribute to a motherboard that’s prepared for modern computing demands. Just keep in mind the limited SATA ports and make sure there’s enough space in your case to comfortably accommodate its more substantial heatsinks.

This replaces the “x670 boards”. Main things you get over the previous boards is USB-4 comes stock on all boards. More support for Gen 5 speeds. But is still VERY limited with a bunch of asterisks. So, before buying make sure to read the fine print. Overall, it’s a good board. Maybe even a great board. But the SSD limitation is a big one for me. Along with just the crazy cost. Motherboards have gotten too expensive. WHAT I LIKE: - Supports USB 3.0 PD. - 2x USB 4 (USB-C) 40 Gbps) ports. - IO Ports are solid. IO is good. Clear labeling. 4x USB “5G”, x3 10G USB x3, 2x USB-C 40 GB that supports display port and power delivery, 1x 2.0 which also works as bios, 2.5 GB wired port, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4. BIOS flashback button. - 2.5 Gb ethernet port. - BIOS flashback button - Wi-Fi 7 instead of screw in plugs in and has a tower for better speeds (hopefully). - Large heatsinks - Easy to release graphics card slot. Great feature. - Overclockable for both CPU and RAM. Max 128 GB RAM and 8000 RAM speed. - LED lights for trouble shooting - Everything on the board is clearly labeled. - Most headers are on the bottom of the board allowing for easier cable management. Also, a bunch of fan and RGB headers. Making building easier. But no legacy headers for RGB. - 16+2+1 power deliver design. - Supports 7000, 8000, and 9000 series AMD CPU’s. WHAT I DISLIKE: - TUF branding is excessive. But some may really like that. - 4 NVME SSD ports. 2x Gen 5 and 2x Gen 4 with quick release latches and 3 of the 4 have heat sinks built in (with thermal pads attached). All those are good. HOWEVER, 2nd gen 5 slot cuts main graphics card slot from x16 to x8. And if you plug one into the 4th SSD slot (gen 4) it disables the second PCIe Slot. Um what? At $309? What? On top of only having two sata ports for old school SSD/HDD’s. - SPDIF is missing for onboard audio. Which many still use for sound systems. - Computer costs are out of control. This is incredibly expensive. Performance is essentially the same as X670 boards except for Wi-Fi 7 (which is big if you have Wi-Fi 7) and USB-4 (which many may not care about). COMES WITH: - Stickers - x1 90 degree to straight sata cable and x1 straight to straight sata cable. - Physical non-colored quick start guide. - x3 m2 rubber - x1 screw for M2 q-latch.

The ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WIFI motherboard is a socket AM5 ATX motherboard using AMD’s X870 chipset that is designed for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Desktop Processors. First Impressions Taking the motherboard out of the box, the first thing I noticed was that it was a little heavier than I expected. The motherboard felt solid with a premium build quality. It’s also a beautiful looking motherboard. The package came with the following items: The ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WIFI motherboard itself 2 x SATA cables An external Wi-Fi Q-Antenna with a magnetic base An M.2 Q-Latch B screw 2 x M.2 rubber pad packages (total of 3 pads) A Quick Install Guide A set of TUF Gaming stickers Feature Set A brief list of the main features of the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WIFI motherboard are: 4 x DDR5 DIMM slots that support both ECC and Non-ECC memory 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 slot 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot 4 x M.2 slots 2 x SATA 6Gb/s external ports 2 x USB4 Type-C (40Gbps) external ports 3 x USB Type-A 10Gbps external ports 4 x USB Type-A 5Gbps external ports 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A external port 1 x USB 20 Gbps internal connector 1 x USB 5 Gbps internal header 2 x USB 2.0 internal header 1 x 4-pin CPU Fan header 1 x 4-pin CPU OPT Fan header 1 x 4-pin AIO Pump header 4 x 4-pin Chassis Fan headers 1 x W_PUMP+ header 3 x Addressable Gen2 AuraSync RGB headers 2.5 Gb Realtek Ethernet port Wi-Fi 7 provided by MediaTek MT7925 (supports 2.4/5/6GHz bands) Bluetooth v5.4 BIOS FlashBack button Build Experience I have had previous experience building PCs, so for me, the Quick Install Guide provided adequate instructions into putting everything together. However, I wished the Quick Install Guide mentioned that if you use the M2_4 slot, then the PCIe 4.0 x 16 (G4) is disabled and that the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot will only run at x8 if the M2_2 slot is used. In addition, the M.2_2 slot is not available when an 8000 Series Desktop Processor is installed. This information is available from the User’s Manual available from their website. This was my first experience in building an AM5 system, so I had to watch some YouTube videos for pointers on how to safely install the CPU. I found the build process to be very pleasant with the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WIFI motherboard. All the mounting holes and screws lined up perfectly in my computer case. Everything was a perfect fit which reinforced my early impressions of the motherboard having an excellent build quality. I used the following components for my build: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 6-core processor Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 5200MHz memory Fanxiang S880 M.2 2TB SSD Fanxiang S770 M.2 2TB SSD Thermaltake UX200 SE CPU fan and cooler ASRock Arc A770 16GB Phantom Gaming graphics card Corsair RM750e 750-Watt Power Supply I did not encounter any issues or compatibility problems during my build and testing. The motherboard supports ReBAR (resizable BAR) which is necessary for getting the best performance from using Intel ARC series graphics cards. I was a little worried about pairing an Intel graphics card with an AMD based system, but everything seems to be running fine. I have been playing Black Myth Wukong to test the stability of the system. There have been no crashes or lockups. Overall, this system has been rock-solid for me. I am currently running everything at stock speeds and did not really explore overclocking. I generally prefer stability over running everything as fast as possible. The BIOS seemed full featured and user friendly for those that love to tinker with settings. The ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WIFI also has some nice DIY features that help make the build process easier and more pleasant. For example, I really loved the PCIe Slot Q-Release button. During my build, I had to remove the graphics card after I installed it so I could rearrange some cables, and the Q-Release button made this super easy. On other motherboards I have used in the past, I sometimes had an extremely difficult time (to the point where I would start cursing at myself) when trying to remove a large graphics card from the PCIe slot because the large graphics card made it difficult to reach the release lever/button. With the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WIFI, the release button was easy to reach and press. I also appreciate the screw-less design of the M.2 slots. This makes it easy to install and remove M.2 SSDs. No more dealing with tiny screws with my aging eyes. I also like having 4 M.2 SSDs slots as opposed to having more SATA connectors. This allows you to build a system with lots of storage but less cable clutter. M.2 SSDs do not require any cables and can produce a much cleaner looking build. And finally, I also like the BIOS Flashback feature as that allows you to flash a new bios without having any (or a not yet supported) CPU installed. In summary, I think the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WIFI is an excellent premium AM5 motherboard. It is full featured, rock-solid stable, and has many features to help make the build process as pleasant as possible. I can strongly recommend this motherboard for anyone wanting to build a new AM5 based computer.

ASUS - TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI (Socket AM5) AMD X870 ATX DDR5 Wi-Fi 7 Motherboard The ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi 7 is part of the TUF line of ATX form factor motherboards using military-grade components, increased cooling capacity with large effective heat sinks, endurance testing, and military/industrial styling, giving a balance between performance features and a mid-level costing. The TUF line has been one of my go-to line of boards for my gaming machines. All motherboards are complicated and full of components, leading to the possibility of compatibility or other problems. The nice thing about ASUS is they don’t leave you in the gate trying to figure something out. In addition to great support that I have had the occasion to use they provide a lot of charts that are easy to find the tested products that have been certified to work with their motherboards. Just go to the support section of their website (or use the QR code on the quick start guide to get here) and enter the motherboard information, and you will be led to a chart of tested and confirmed components like memory, CPU, HDD drives, Power supplies, and peripherals in an easily searchable matrix. In addition, there are FAQ’s, manuals, drivers, and software tools. In the box is a quick start guide. Use this to support the manual on their website to help gather your components and assemble your new computer system. This model motherboard has the AMD X870 chipset, which was part of the new chipsets announced for the AM5 line of motherboards at COMPUTEX 2024. The big addition was the addition of USB4 as a requirement, and the number of PCIe lanes changes around a bit to allow for features such as Gen5 M.2 connectors and Gen5 PCIe expansion slots. Opening the box revealed a motherboard in an anti-static bag protected by cardboard inserts, a WiFi 7 antenna, two SATA cables, and a couple of packages of rubber bumpers for M.2 slots, along with an M.2 drive mount screw. This model does not include an onboard power button and digital LED readout for troubleshooting, but you do have a set of De-Bug LEDs in the upper right corner to help you in case of boot issues. A big plus is the EZ-Release button (“Q-Release”) for the primary graphics card slot, which works quite well. The motherboard has WiFi 7 by Media Tek and a wired 2.5Gb Realtek ethernet port. It is disappointing that a higher-capacity ethernet hardwire port was not included. There is a 7.1 sound channel with five audio jacks on the I/O panel supplied by the Realtek ALC1220P Codec. The board has four memory slots capable of supporting a total of 192GB of DDR5 memory modules, and the slots have a single latch end. The component spacing is sufficient for most CPU coolers, including most closed-loop AIO coolers. For storage, there are two right-angled 6Gb/s SATA ports and two M.2 Gen5 and two M.2 Gen4 slots. As is typical, there are trade-offs with M.2 storage. The CPU supplies the M.2 #1 and #2 slot lanes. Using the M.2_2, the primary PCIe graphics will be reduced from x16 to x8 speed. The X870 chipset supplies the M.2 #3 and #4 slots. If M.2_4 is utilized, the lower PCIe graphics slot will be disabled. The preinstalled rear I/O panel has a stainless steel motherboard bracket. The rear connections include a BIOS flashback button and a USB 2.0 type A slot for the flashback, a 2.5Gb RJ-45 ethernet port, three USB 3.2 (10Gbps) type A ports, an HDMI port, two USB4 (40Gbps) type C ports, four USB 3.1 (5Gbps) type A ports, Q-Antenna WiFi ports, and five audio jack ports. The ASUS TUF GAMING X870-Plus WiFi uses a standard UEFI BIOS from American Megatrend. ASUS has always provided one of the more straightforward BIOS to navigate, which is a big plus as some BIOS setups can be a pain. Remember to check for BIOS upgrades, as newly released boards will often have new BIOS releases with more supported components and upgraded performance or fixes. With the variety of CPUs, memory, storage, and other components needed to set up a gaming machine or workhorse with this motherboard, things will vary so much that it isn’t advantageous to mention my full-build components. I have had no issues. This well-built board presents a quality gaming and tweaking platform with plenty of muscle for graphics or AI or just your everyday computing needs. My best recommendation is to follow the charts for certified tested components and you will enjoy your system as much as I enjoy mine.

TLDR - The TUF Gaming X870-PLUS WIFI is a silly long name for a very solid higher end X870 (non E) board. It has 4 M.2 Slots (2 of which are PCIE 5.0!), great VRM + VRM cooling, Wifi 7, crazy number of fan headers, 3 x ARGB connectors, 2 x USB 40Gb/s ports, and the great looks of the TUF branding! (which could be a con for some I guess) I jumped head first into this board and its CRAZY amount of customization in the UEFI. I tried to push my 7700x as far as I could, but I lost the silicon lottery with mine. Even running over 1.4v running at just under 5.7ghz on 2 cores, a 10min Cinebench loop only pushes the temp of the VRM (according to HWinfo reading the board's VRM sensor) to like 52c! I get that it's only an 8 core CPU, but I still have no doubt that a 9950x or 7950x could be able to max out on an AIO on this board without breaking a sweat. (I tested the AI overclocking features, and 1 out of 3 times the system would be stable enough to run cinebench r23, but were never stable for long or would sometimes bluescreen while Windows was starting up. I’m pretty sure I have a dud of a 7700x, so I would expect decent silicon would see much better results using the AI OC’ing) I tested the USB4 ports using a cheaper NVME enclosure to see what they’re running. I easily peaked around 3.5GB/s with a PCIE gen4 drive reads/writes. (the PCIE tunneling of USB4 seems to support the PCIE 3 spec, so 32Gb/s theoretical max, and the fastest PCIE3 NVME drives usually peak around 3-3.5GB/s) Overall, it’s such a beefy board, with massive heatsinks for 3 of the 4 M.2 slots, plus large heatsinks on the beefy VRM. My large dual tower air cooler had no clearance issues and mounted right up, and my mediocre 5600 RAM ran the EXPO profile without issues. One of the only gripes I have with it is only 2 SATA ports, (so data hoarders will need to look elsewhere or get an PCIE SATA expansion card/controller) and memory training seems to take much longer VS my 2 B650 boards from a couple other competing brands. Other than that, I recommend this Asus TUF beast!
