Great motherboard for AM5 Zen 5 processors and PCIe 5.0 devices. Performs at top tier with my AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d. The x870 has a limited number of PCIe “lanes” so if you’re looking to max out by using PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics with multiple PCIe 4.0/5.0 x4 NVMe drives, lane sharing can happen, dropping your graphics card to x8. There is not much of a noticeable difference in performance though. If you want more lanes, get the x870e. It has dual chipsets.

Performance meets expectations, providing consistent results within its intended purpose. One of its strongest points is the cost-benefit ratio, especially when compared to similar products in the same category.

4 slots for m.2 storage 4 slots for ddr5 ram 2 slots for gpu’s. Great for a gaming build. Built in wifi was easy to get with drivers installed.

Great Board - Simple to install - Reminder - Anything in the M.2 Slot-2 Will reduce the PCI Slot 1s bandwidth in half - This will not affect you now - But it will when you get a PCI Gen 5 GPU

The ASUS TUF X870-Plus is a strong AM5 motherboard designed for AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series CPUs, and it delivers solid performance with no-nonsense reliability. That said, there are a few quirks you should be aware of. Pros: • Ryzen 9000-Ready Out of the Box: No BIOS update needed. My Ryzen 9 9800X3D worked immediately. • Stable Power Delivery: Great VRMs and cooling. Runs cool and stable even under heavy CPU/GPU loads. • Modern I/O and Connectivity: Includes WiFi 7, 2.5Gb LAN, USB-C, and PCIe Gen 5 support for GPU and M.2. This board is set up for long-term use. • Solid Build Quality: Reinforced PCIe slots, good component layout, and the typical TUF durability. Great foundation for a high-end build. Cons: • Bluetooth Requires Windows 11: Bluetooth is non-functional on Windows 10—even with updated drivers. ASUS does not provide Windows 10 Bluetooth support, which can be a dealbreaker for users avoiding Windows 11. • Mediocre BIOS Interface: It works, but the UI is dated and a bit clunky. Navigating settings isn’t as clean as it could be. • Limited Headers: There are fewer USB and RGB headers than you might expect for a board in this price range. Fine for minimal setups, but limited flexibility if you’re running multiple RGB fans and accessories. Overall: The ASUS TUF X870-Plus WiFi delivers strong performance, rock-solid stability, and essential next-gen features at a fair price. But be aware: if you’re on Windows 10 and plan to use Bluetooth, you’re out of luck. For anyone already on Windows 11 or willing to switch, it’s a great long-term platform for Ryzen 9000 builds.

When I was in-store, this was the only x870 motherboard they had, and also the last one. I don't think this would have been my first choice, but its not bad. I wish there were more than 2 sata ports, and that using the other pcie slots (besides the top x16 interface) wouldn't require disabling the additional nvme slots (I gusss its a lot of pcie lanes, and you need either threadripper or a more expensive chipset controller to share them). USB 4 / thunderbolt is wonderful as well as pcie gen5, glad to see it. It does have WiFi 7, but its only half channel bandwidth, so you're not getting those extreme real world multi-gig speeds. I almost want to throw in a Qualcomm WiFi 7 pcie card just so I can get the full 320mhz width, but plan to add a 10 gigabit NIC instead. The board feels quality and looks good, make sure you disable the armorycrate auto-installer in the UEFI settings, otherwise you'll get that installed by surprise on windows. All Asus mobos seem to include that and enable it by default. Lots of heatsinks for the nvme and cpu power delivery. I haven't tried the "AI overclocking," but the 9900x I paired with this board is plenty fast for multi-threaded workloads. Its a pretty good motherboard for the money, especially considering this generation of AMD motherboards started so expensive.

The ASUS TUF Gaming X870-PLUS WiFi is a rock-solid AM5 motherboard with excellent build quality and features. Setup was straightforward, stability has been flawless, and DDR5 performance is strong right out of the box. Wi-Fi 7 is fast and reliable, and there are plenty of connectivity and expansion options for a high-end build. It runs cool, feels durable, and delivers exactly what you’d expect from the TUF lineup. A great choice for anyone building a powerful, reliable AMD system.

I paired this with a 9800 X3D and I really had no issues at all

Works great! Amazing WiFi connectivity, it’s as if I have an Ethernet cable but without actually needing one.

I got this for my new gaming PC and it works beautifully.

Great Motherboard Compatibility Too Much Features Plus The Ai Overclock Are Awesome

very good board but it does not beat gigabyte elite x870 board which is going for 220$

How to unpack this. The board was to be a replacement board for my x670 tomahawk wifi board. The ethernet port stopped working. This new board, well i expected improved performance with a Ryzen 9 7800 cpu and with all the ssd's i had installed, but that was not too be. From power up to the Windows login screen, it was about 2 minutes, and i would see some noticeable drop-off in performance when i would play games at 4k. Turns out the PCIe 5x16 shared a lane with the M.2_2 slot, so if you don't want that drop in video performance, don't use that M.2 slot. I got my x670 board back and swapped it out, and the boot times were much shorter[20-30 seconds], and preformance was better. I fiddled with the bios as suggested on the asus site, and nothing really changed[adjusted memory frequency, memory context restore, removing the M.2_2 ssd,etc]. Not sure I can return it since I've used it, so I'll just keep it as a spare backup board. But it's not the best board I've ever purchased, and for the price, i probably should have stuck with an MSI board. They have not disappointed me.

Works good, pretty much the same as the x870 but with a bit more features. Definitely the move for future proofing.

Easy to install and the instructions included were straight forward. The quick release tab for the GPU is easily accessible unlike some other boards I've tried. Overall works as expected and I would definitely recommend if you are in the market for a new AM5 socket motherboard.

Works great with the updated features for X870 like USB4 and WiFi 7 for the latest Zen 9800X3D CPU. CPU runs cool, BIOS is easy to navigate and make changes. Lots of m.2 slots although using the 2nd m.2 will split your PCIe 5.0 x16 slot to x8/x8. I would skip Armoury Crate though unless you really need some feature or want to control RGB and fanspeed and don't have a different system to do it.

This product is amazing because of the amount of features it has and its clean look.

Best x870 motherboard around. Had a bad experience with ASRock motherboard. Asus is definitely the way to go.

Great board stable, works great. Once it was all set up with a lot of options for tuning if you are j to over clocking
