, whether they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

Memory overclocking may vary between CPU series. Please refer to the spec table for detailed information.

AEMP III
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 optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.

DDR5 DOMINANCE
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, this motherboard is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits, courtesy of vast AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO ) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via an extensive array of settings in the UEFI.

ASUS AEMP
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can quickly apply.

DIMM Fit
DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize 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 prioritizing rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.

M.2 PCIe 5.0 Support
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 customizable 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, Thunderbolt 4 and front USB 20Gbps Type-C connectors.

PCIe 5.0 for Graphics Card
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.

Thunderbolt 4 Support
Each port delivers up to 40Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Both ports can be employed for up to two external 4K displays.

Front USB 20Gbps Type-C
This motherboard features a USB 20Gbps Type-C front panel connector for speedy data transfers of up to 20Gbps.

PCIe Slot Q-Release
A physical button 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.

M.2 Q-Release
The M.2 heatsink features a convenient switch to quickly remove it, eliminating the need for tiny screws during SSD installation. Its strong locking mechanism also provides a snug contact surface, helping to ensure reliable heat dissipation for your SSD.
