    ROCK-SOLID PERFORMANCE

    With upgraded power delivery and comprehensive cooling options to fuel the latest Intel® CPUs, plus support for faster memory and storage, TUF Gaming Z490-Plus (Wi-Fi) is the perfect foundation for your next high-core-count battle rig.

    Power Design

    DrMOS

    The onboard VRM of TUF Gaming Z490-Plus (Wi-Fi) utilises 12+2 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors demand.

    6-LAYER PCB DESIGN

    Multiple PCB layers shift heat away from critical components, providing more headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds.

    ProCool Sockets

    ENHANCED EATX 4-PIN & 8-PIN SOCKETS

    ・ Extreme durability
    ・ Prevent hotspots and connector failure

    Compared with traditional power inputs, ProCool sockets are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure

    TUF COMPONENTS

    TUF CHOKES

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

    TUF CAPACITORS

    Proprietary capacitors provide up to 20% greater temperature tolerance and 5X-longer lifespan.

    Digi+ VRM

    The integrated 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.

    Cooler by design

    1. VRM heatsink

    A large, high-mass heatsink with extensive surface that covers the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation.

    Thermal pad

    High-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.

    2. M.2 heatsink

    The M.2 heatsink keeps the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

    TUF H370 Plus Gaming

    COMPREHENSIVE FAN CONTROLS

    TUF Gaming Z490-Plus (Wi-Fi) features comprehensive fan controls that can be configured via Fan Xpert 4 utility or via the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.

    • Multiple temperature sources
    • AiO water-cooling set
    • 4-pin PWM/DC fan
    • Smart protection

    • Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or via the UEFI.​

    • An integrated AiO system enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, making it perfect for custom or self-contained cooling setups.

    • All onboard headers support auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

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

    Dual M.2 (up to 32 Gbps)

    Dual M.2 slots support data-transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps on the x4 PCI Express® 3.0 bandwidth, making it perfect for OS or application drives for quicker boot-up and app load times.

    *Actual transmission speed will be lower than theoretical maximum speed.

    ASUS OPTIMEM II

    DDR4 OC 4600 MHz+

    Revisions to the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. A highly customised T-Topology layout delivers time-aligned signaling to improve overclocking potential for fully stacked memory configurations.

    Benefits:

    • Improved memory stability and compatibility

    • Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages

    • Improved memory frequency margin

    Motherboards with OptiMem ll technology were tested with Synopsys HSPICE simulation software.

    USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A & Type-C

    Numerous USB ports support gaming rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB Type-C™ connector with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity for compatible cases.

    Thunderbolt™ 3 support

    An integrated Thunderbolt™ 3 header supports up to 40 Gbps of aggregate interface bandwidth. One Thunderbolt 3 port can support up to six devices in a daisy-chain, and provide up to 15 watts of power to fast-charge devices.
