Advanced cooling system

TUF gaming motherboards feature Fan Xpert 4 Core software that intelligently controls your system's fans with multiple sensors including thermal sensors that detect the temperature of your ASUS graphics card (GeForce GTX 700 and above).

With Fan Xpert, control your system's fans with data collected from three heat sources. For example, Fan Xpert 4 Core can be configured to speed up the rotation of chassis fans based on GPU temperature. So when the game gets hot, the cooling system does the same: it activates at the right place, at the right time!

In the ASUS labs, they are heated, frozen, bent, shaken, and thrown to pass all the strength certifications.The TUF design is designed to protect the rear I/O ports, expansion and memory slots, preventing dust and other airborne particles from entering these important connectors. Dust Defenders will help you keep your PC performing and stable for a very long time. In addition, the TUF components (TUF alloy coils, TUF 10K Ti-Caps, TUF MOSFETs) offer very high resistance for a long life of your hardware.

    Do not do the bios update Version 2409

    I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a while... I'm not sure if it's a good idea to change the bios, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to change the bios, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to change the bios. I've been using it for a while now and it's been crashing regularly since then... I'm going to msi for my second asus card ... because of course it's impossible to go back to the old version of the bios which worked very well.

    Good and stable map

    First with 1 ryzen 5 1500x (which I was not happy with).
    I easily flashed the bios to install a Ryzen 7 3700x.
    Doesn't heat up. at rest for 20dB in the room, I have 20dB at 1m and 30dB when stressing it with cpu-z.
    Fanless graphics card, Season power supply, Noctua fans.

    Received

    I bought this motherboard as a replacement for my msi board, I wanted to try another brand but in the end I was disappointed overall. I've already had some bugs where the computer wouldn't start, it would show me an error message from the motherboard. I have had a msi motherboard with EZ debugg technology and this motherboard has nothing, when there is a small problem the computer just won't start and you have to guess where the problem is coming from...I can't get my r5 3600 to turbo because the computer crashes on reboot and won't start, so I have to do clear CMOS and I think this problem is coming from the motherboard The temperature sensors clearly suck and are unstable, it can go from 60 to 75 degrees in one go (I didn't have this problem with the old motherboard). The only positive thing this board has is the RGB software which is a sad fact... I have 4/10 because the computer turns on and runs but I don't have much positive to say about it

    Instability problem

    it seems that there are problems with heat with this card.
    I had quite a few blue screens with windows this summer.
    I had to run the fans pretty hard.
    The fan management in windows works fine

    No problems

    A low cost card that gives a lot
    The BIOS updated by LDLC to support a Ryzen 5 2600.
    The hardest part was to reset the RAID 0 SSD at boot time. The Windows 10 upgrade was not a problem, switching from Intel to AMD.
    I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to put the ram strips in slots A2 and B2 as briefly stated in the manual, otherwise the ram will be limited to 2400.

    Good quality card, package a little light

    I bought this motherboard to build a platform around a Ryzen Zen 2. The BIOS update made by LDLC worked without any problem with a Ryzen 3600X.
    I just regret that the package is limited to the bare minimum (no screws and just 2 SATA cables) and that the drivers/utilities are on CD without download code. Fewer and fewer gaming-oriented towers still have an optical drive as in my case. Otherwise, the components are easy to install, the connectors are robust and the integrated RGB LEDs on the side (adjustable by installing the Ai Suite utility) put some light in the tower without being too tuning so it suits me fine.

    Good CM

    This card is a very good CM for entry level

    6 sata ports which will please those who like to have a ton of HDDs and SSDs
    2 discrete LED slots (which work with Asus Aura) when it decides to work properly
    A reinforced PCI slot for heavy cards

    No really not disappointed with this purchase

    Great motherboard and great customer service!

    I received my order very quickly, the package was well packed, no worries.
    I've been using it for a while now and it's a good idea to check the compatibility with the RAM in particular.
    I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a while.
    I would also like to thank the customer service who are always ready to help us :) Thank you LDLC.

    good CM

    Good CM, all assus, but not much detailed information about the Front Panel connection, not a word !!!

    It's quite difficult after searching on the net for an explanation.

    Otherwise everything works...

    to note all my products ordered, received in 2 days, a record in terms of service!

    I recommend LDLC, serious, packages niquel and fast delivery!

    Runs on Linux Mint

    positive point :
    Fully recognized under Linux Mint,
    Negative point:
    This motherboard stays illuminated with diodes, changing colour all the time, even with the PC switched off. The computer will always consume a few watts for nothing.
