ASUS has a lot of great motherboards under their name, but while their STRIX and Maximus series may appeal to enthusiasts with thick wallets, I’ve long been a fan of the often more affordable, but still feature-packed TUF Gaming series. With their robust build quality that really puts the “tough” in TUF, consistent dark black and yellow highlights aesthetics, and catering to the features your typical PC user and gamers need without going too crazy, it’s easy to see why.

With support for the latest Intel LGA 1700 socket 12th and 13th Generation processors, and with a powerful 12+1 DrMOS VRM configuration, it should be more than up to the task of powering the flagship Intel CPUs, without the added cost and bloat of the much more expensive enthusiast overclocking motherboards. Plus, it still comes with both PCIe 5.0, as well as PCIe 4.0 M.2, and lots of fast USB connectivity including Thunderbolt USB4.
