Overclocking
The integrated NPU in Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows — and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.
** Testing was conducted with an Intel Arrow Lake QS Q2HA Ultra 9 285K processor, ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme motherboard, GeForce RTX™ 4090 24GB graphics card, and XPG Lancer DDR5 memory modules (model AX5U6000C4016G).
For next-level frequency flexibility, the TUF Gaming B860M features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, NPU, D2D and NGU. Drive memory, NPU and others performance to their absolute brink while maintaining the stability of CPU clock domains.
Separate CPU BCLK from other domains for unfettered overclocking.
Intelligent Control
ASUS AI Advisor is an ASUS technical expert that's always available to answer your questions. Owners of compatible ASUS motherboards can interact with this AI-powered technology using natural language to learn more about their hardware. For DIY beginners, it can provide easy-to-understand explanations of one-click optimisation features like AI Overclocking and fan speed tuning, and for seasoned PC-building veterans, it can offer guidance and instructions on the latest features offered by ASUS.
**AI Advisor functions may vary by platform.
TurboV Core is engineered for overclocking enthusiasts to elevate system capability with unprecedented simplicity. Accessed via ASUS DriverHub, TurboV Core provides intuitive configuration of CPU and DRAM parameters to unlock your computer's potential. No need to enter the BIOS, you can seamlessly modify settings directly from the Windows interface, and apply them right away without restart interruptions.
Premium Power Design
Stable power is crucial for maximising the performance of Intel processors. The motherboard is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 12(80A) + 1(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80A each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future Intel processors.
Memory & Storage
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimises the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-7600 or higher.*
DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyses individual memory modules to optimise performance and pinpoint potential issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability.
Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritising rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimisations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of TUF GAMING motherboards. With the motherboard, you can extract all the potential out of your DDR5 modules*, whether they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.
This motherboard also features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots to enjoy the fastest data transfers of up to 128 Gbps*, and all M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds.
Cooler by Design
Cooler Compatibility
ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics and customisable functionality for new TUF Gaming motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig.
Empowering Connection
This motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity with PCIe 5.0, rear USB 20Gbps Type-C® port and front USB 10Gbps Type-C® connector.
PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards and backward compatibility with previous versions of the PCIe bus.
Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of external devices. This motherboard includes a USB 20Gbps Type-C® port on the rear I/O panel that delivers transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps. The port can also support external 4K DisplayPort video output.
This motherboard features a USB 10Gbps Type-C® front panel connector for speedy data transfers of up to 10Gbps.
PCIe Slot Q-Release
A physical lever unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one tap, greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.
Ultrafast Networking
Provide a feature-packed high-performance gaming package, with ultrafast networking for smoother online gameplay.
On-board 2.5Gb Ethernet kicks your LAN connection up a notch by improving bandwidth speeds up to 2.5X faster than 1Gb connections.
WiFi 7 ensures stable connections and low latency.
Audio
The unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek for TUF GAMING B860M motherboards feature an unprecedented 98 dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line out, providing pristine audio quality.
DTS® Audio Processing enhances gaming headset and speaker audio experiences by reducing distortion and by providing deeper bass, so games, movies and music sound better. It also allows you to customise audio settings.
Lighting
ASUS Aura Sync offers synchronised lighting with other Aura Sync products, including motherboards, graphics cards, monitors and peripherals.
Automatically optimise lighting effects for the number of LEDs present in compatible ARGB gear.
Additional Features
Simplify driver management with automatic detection, one-click installation and update for smooth, efficient system performance.
Enable seamless screen sharing and control across PCs, tablets, and smartphones via USB or WiFi, supporting multiple platforms.
Provides easy-to-use configuration options for PC beginners and advanced features for veterans.
