Arm Your Battlestation
TUF Gaming motherboards are specially designed and tested to survive and
thrive in conditions where other boards would struggle. Engineered with highly
durable components, these motherboards deliver unwavering stability for gaming
sessions that last as long as you demand.
When you build with a TUF Gaming motherboard, you also benefit from the TUF
Gaming Alliance an ASUS collaboration with trusted industry partners that
ensures easier building, the best compatibility, and complementary aesthetics
from components to case.
Easy PC DIY
TUF Gaming motherboards offer easy and safe DIY builds by leveraging great
design, innovative engineering, and strong partnerships with major component
manufacturers. The unrivalled combination of military-grade TUF Components, TUF
Protection and the TUF Gaming Alliance means that you can rest assured that your
gaming rig will go the distance.
TUF gaming alliance
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 kitsand more. With more partnerships and
components being added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance will continue to grow
even stronger.
TUF PROTECTION
SAFESLOT
SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide
superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using
a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates fortifying metal for an
inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through
additional solder points.
ESD GUARDS
ESD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from
electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10kV of air
discharge and +/- 6kV of contact discharge greatly surpassing the respective
industry standards of +/- 6kV and +/- 4kKV
- KEYBOARDS AND MOUSE CONNECTORS - Additional on-circuit ESD
transient-voltage-suppression.
- USB CONNECTORS - TVS diode for surface-mount and dual-inline
package.
DIGI+ VRM
The Digi+ VRM voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the
industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all
times.
DRAM OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This
extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of your system and
connected devices.
STAINLESS-STEEL BACK I/O
TUF's corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panels bonded with
chromium oxide have a lifespan that's 3X longer than traditional panels. TUF
Gaming motherboard passed 72 hours salt fog test while other brands only passed
24 hours test.
TUF COMPONENTS
TUF CHOKES
Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU,
helping to improve system stability.
TUF CAPACITORS
+20% temperature tolerance and 5X-longer lifespan.
TUF MOSFETS
Certified military-grade MOSFETs with lower RDS(on)*.
*Lower RDS(on) results in better power efficiency and reduced heat
generation.
TUF LANGUARD
TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that integrates advanced
signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve
throughput, protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static
electricity.
Built for Hard Duty
Optimized Thermal Design
The TUF Z390M-PRO GAMING's VRM and inductor array is coupled to a large
heatsink that has ample surface area to deal with the thermals of Intel's latest
processors.
- Thermal Pad for Inductors & VRM
- Balanced thermal dissipation
ProCool Socket
ENHANCED EATX 8-PIN SOCKET
- Solid and more durable
- Prevent hotspots and connector failure
Compared with traditional power inputs, ProCool sockets are built to tight
specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines. This lowers
impedance, which helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.
Optimem II SUPPORT
DDR4 OC 4266 MHZ+
To provide Intel's latest processors' unfettered access to memory bandwidth,
we've reimagined motherboard trace routing from the ground up. Our OptiMem II
tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce
vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to
further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations,
we've employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned
signaling.
ASUS OptiMem II advantage:
ASUS OptiMem benefits:
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Improved memory frequency margin
Tested by using Synopsys HSPICE simulation software
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
TUF Gaming motherboards are designed to be easy to set up and configure just
the way you want, even for first-time builders. With simplified CPU and memory
overclocking to optimize and boost performance, intelligent cooling controls for
better system stability, and helpful troubleshooting tools to get you up and
running quickly if you encounter problems, TUF Gaming motherboards give you
everything you need to build your dream gaming rig without adding complexity.
Easy Trouble shooting
MEMOK! II
MemOK! II automatically fixes boot failures that arise due to memory
overclocking and instability. When a DRAM-related POST error occurs, the
motherboard adjusts memory parameters until the system is able to start.
Quick Installation
Q-INSTALLER, NO DRIVER DISC REQUIRED
ASUS Q-Installer software provides automatic download and installation of
drivers and utilities for your TUF Gaming motherboard. Choose just the options
you want from a user-friendly interface and Q-Installer will do the rest.
Smart Cooling
FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS
GPU TEMPERATURE SENSING
System temperatures are key to a stable gaming rig ? especially GPU
temperatures. TUF Gaming motherboards include Fan Xpert 4 software that's able
to intelligently control system fans based upon the input of multiple sensors,
including the temperature of ASUS graphics cards*. This ensures that your TUF
Gaming system stays perfectly cooled, no matter how long you play.
* ASUS GeForce 700 and later cards supported.
FAN XPERT 4
TUF Z390M-PRO GAMING features the most comprehensive fan controls ever,
configurable via Fan Expert 4.
- Multiple temperature sources - With Fan Xpert 4 you're able to
control system fans based on inputs from up to three temperature sources. For
example, Fan Xpert 4 can be set to spin up the chassis fans in response to the
GPU temperature. So, when the gaming action heats up, additional cooling kicks
in just when you most need it. Choose your temperature sources and thresholds,
from motherboard and CPU to GPU, and leave Fan Xpert 4 to do the rest.
- All-in-one water-cooling set - Enables full control of PWM or DC
water pumps, perfect for both custom and self-contained cooling setups.
- 4-pin PWM/DC fan - Every onboard header supports auto-detection
of PWM or DC fans.
- Smart protection - A dedicated integrated circuit protects each
fan header from over-temperature and overcurrent.
