Asus TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI (90MB1J30-M0EAY0)

The full-sized ATX board from Asus operates on the AMD B850 chipset and is equipped with an AM5 socket, providing full compatibility with all the latest AMD Ryzen processors (series 7000, 8000, and 9000 with Zen 4 or Zen 5 architecture). The board falls into the mid-price segment, is part of The Ultimate Force 2025 lineup, and is aimed at gamers looking for a quality motherboard with a reliable power system and efficient cooling.

ASUS engineers equipped the board with a powerful 14+2+1-phase power subsystem using Alpha & Omega AOZ53071QI power elements, each rated at 80 A, and the power subsystem is managed by proprietary DIGI+ ASP2308 PWM controllers, ensuring the board confidently handles even the most powerful, demanding, and hot processors like the Ryzen 9 9950X. The B850-Plus WiFi demonstrates excellent future readiness thanks to its support for advanced connectivity standards.

The board has three M.2 slots supporting the most current iterations of the PCI-E interface (1x5.0, 2x4.0). Each M.2 slot is equipped with its own heatsinks for efficient cooling of drives under intense use. For RAM installation, there are 4 DIMM slots supporting DDR5-8000 memory and EXPO profiles. Network capabilities are represented by a high-speed 2.5-gigabit Realtek RTL8125 Ethernet controller and a MediaTek MT7925 Wi-Fi 7 module with Bluetooth 5.4 support. The audio system is based on a quality Realtek ALC1220P codec with a physically isolated PCB area to minimize interference. Notably, there is a contact group for connecting external cards with a Thunderbolt/USB4 interface.
