Media reviews
"I think the Prime X299 Edition 30 deserves our gold award for several reasons. I've tested many X299 motherboards and this is probably, if not the best of them despite its excessive price and weird market position. It also earns points for being a nice commemorative piece and something that's going to be a limited edition whether that was intentional or not. It's not perfect, but it's about as close as I've seen from any other motherboard model.”

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

ESD Guard

LAN port

ESD TVS diode protection on the LAN Circuit.

Keyboards and mouse connectors

Additional on-circuit ESD transient-voltage-suppression.

VGA Protection

Additional on-circuit ESD TVS diodes to protect D-Sub functionality.

USB connectors

TVS diode for surface-mount and dual-inline package.

TUF COMPONENTS

TUF CHOKES

Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU, helping to improve system stability.

TUF CAPACITORS

+52% temperature tolerance and 2.5X-longer lifespan.

TUF MOSFETs

Certified military-grade MOSFETs with lower RDS(on)*.

*Lower RDS(on) results in better power efficiency and reduced heat generation.

FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS

Fan Xpert 2+

System temperatures are key to a stable gaming rig ― especially GPU temperatures. TUF Gaming motherboards include Fan Xpert or Fan Xpert 2+ 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.

TUF B360 Plus Gaming

Fan Xpert 2+

TUF B360-PLUS GAMING features the most comprehensive fan controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 2+ Core and our award-winning UEFI BIOS.

  • Multiple temperature sources
  • All-in-one water-cooling set

  • With Fan Xpert 2+ Core you're able to control system fans based on inputs from up to three temperature sources. For example, Fan Xpert 2+ Core 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 2+ Core to do the rest.

  • Enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, perfect for both custom and self-contained cooling setups.

  • Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

  • A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature and overcurrent.

Improved DDR4 Stability

ASUS OptiMem

ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing traces and vias to the optimal PCB layer, and our T-Topology trace layout ensures time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements allow the TUF Gaming motherboards to support a wide range of dual and quad-DIMM memory kits, while providing your rig with the stability it needs to deal with any type of workload - whether you're gaming or running intensive applications.

ASUS OptiMem 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

A larger signal eye results in improved stability, more overclocking headroom, and lower operating voltages.
