ATX and mini-ITX motherboards are certainly more common these days, but I do love a good mATX motherboard! Mostly because my own PC case is mATX, but they’re still pretty rare. TUF Gaming hardware is certainly something I enjoy too, as it often means two things. The first is “Durable, Stable, Reliable” as ASUS say themselves. TUF really does mean TOUGH and they make it with “military-grade components” for added stability. However, it also means TUF Gaming Alliance too, which means that all the ASUS TUF products will have improved compatibility and matching aesthetics. This now extends to cases, coolers, RAM, PSU and much more from other brands who are part of that alliance.
Despite being a little smaller, and a little more affordable than the ASUS STRIX series and all their more serious solutions, the TUF is hardly lacking in features its self. It still comes with an 8+2 DrMOS Power Stage design, upgraded components, chunky heatsinks, PCIe Gen 4, etc. Plus, you even get the latest Intel WiFi 6 and 2.5 GbE LAN for ultra-fast networking. Also note worthy is their new AI noise-cancelling microphone technology, which is said to be even better than the new AI audio thing from Nvidia and it’s built right into the motherboard this time!

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, best compatibility, and complementary aesthetics from components to case.” – ASUS
