Could this be the best Budget X570 board? I was watching the latest Buildzoid video and he was doing a breakdown of the X570 Strix-F and in the video he said that the Strix-F ($300 Rumored Price) has the same VRM setup as the Tuf ($170 Rumored Price).

Could this end up being the next TOMAHAWK? Really good for the price to performance? He even talks about buying himself a Tuf in the video. I'm thinking about picking one up with the 3700x if reviews back up his claims.

We'll have to see, won't we :)

At least I'm very happy with the price-performance of the x470 Plus Gaming with my 2600X and G.Skill 3600 memory.

I doubt it, probably Aorus Elite and maybe Asrock Steel Legend for budget builds since it has ALC1220/Intel LAN and also 8 DrMOs which is good enough for 8 cores.


SiliconLottery has Aorus Elite on their QVL.


Additionally due to the PWM layout you downscale your power at idle better because you can run 2 powerstage rather than a minimum of 3.


TUF = ASP1106 PWM, 3 SiC639 powerstages on each PWM phase
Aorus Elite = ISL PWM with 6 phases doubled to 12 via ISL6617 and using SiC634 powerstages

im hoping to swap mine in here this week


first impressions
it has some weight to it, that is always a good sign, not some lightweight pos
the various components seem solid on the board
hoping to have a nice simple swap out


update . . .
swapped in the new board with ram and a 2700x 50th anni . . .
no post
called tech support . . . needs a bios update to run that chip
baffled that a brand new board a few weeks old would need a bios update for a gen2 ryzen

Wired Internet

Is anyone experiencing intermittent internet speeds with this motherboard.


I updated the driver to the latest one on the Asus site for this board.


I have a 1gig up and down. But for some reason this board is not steady with it. And it doesn't reach 1 gig downloads.



Might it be the driver?


My previous motherboard (Crosshair VII Hero) didn't have this issue.

Ambient temperature of 72°F (22°C)


CPU: AMD 3900x

CPU Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU Cooler
Motherboard: TUF GAMING X570-Plus (non wifi)
Bios ver. (motherboard): Version 0804


This current temperature is at home, 2358 hours.


Day time/hours the CPU idle temp go up to 34-36 Celsius.


All this is while computer is idling. Only have Ryzen Master open on screen viewing the numbers.





Just felt like sharing.

New AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA BIOS-update is out.

Gotta say, the board has been performing pretty dang well for the past month, only been using the onboard wireless wifi (Intel AC9260 + AC-router) and haven't had any hiccups with the connection. The only gripe has been the chipset-fan placement: almost every single GPU in existence is going to block the fan if you use the first pcie-slot. And most of the GPU coolers will push the warm air the GPU generates towards the chipset.

Even with my modded Asus GTX 1070 Dual (shroud+fans replaced with 3x AC-F8 Silent fans tied neatly to the heatsink with zipties) the chipset temperatures were around 78C while the GPU was around 76C. That is why I went and bought an Accelero Mono Plus to replace the extremely bad stock cooler of the GPU: maximum temperatures for the GPU is now 60C and the chipset temperatures also dropped down to 70C. Two birds with one stone, as the Mono Plus heatsink doesn't block the chipset-fan like the usual GPU-coolers do.

Do you have any m.2 SSD on the lower slot? AFAIK using an SSD there raises the temperatures as the upper m.2 slot is handled directly by the CPU and the lower slot is handled by the chipset.
I'm using a PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD (Corsair MP510) on my lower m.2 slot.

Bought thing MB to use with 3700X. Can't wait to get it tomorrow and play with AMD CPU after years of Intel. I got 32GB CL14 DDR4-3200 RAM.

finally had a few hours to swap in my x570
seems like a nice board, windows booted right up, just have to reactivate but cant due to running insider builds 'shrugs'



anyway, noticed 2 things


first, running 4x8gb sticks of corsair vengeance lpx ram, ddr4 3600
wont run at 3600 mhz, got it running at 3300 +/-
set it at 3600 manually or set docp and it fails


second, it doesn't seem to want to save the settings when i set the cpu multiplier to 42 to have the cpu run at 4.2 ghz, it reverts back to x40 to give 4 ghz, which isnt bad at all

cpu is a 2700x 50th anni

I agree.

I have odd issue with this board actually. For some reason, it has issues whenever i try to set negative manual offset/manual overclock with lower voltage. Either it won't post or the system just becomes unstable when doing cinebench. This is with an 3700X. I also have an hero VIII with 3900X and i don't encounter any of such issue.

I still like the mobo in general, it is a good deal if you want wifi and bluetooth with the added VRM bonus of being able to upgrade to a 3900x or similar. But from a €240 Asus motherboard I expect to be able to alter mobofan curves, bout time they gave us a biosupgrade. €240,-- is alot of money for a crappy implementation of a cooling solution, they would have done a better job designing a heatsink with a 60mm fanspot and supplying us a crappy 60 mm fan which is about the same size as the implemented mobofan anyway. This way we could have installed an A-grade silent 60mm fan of our own choosing if we had complaints about noise or whatever. This coolingsolution aka mobofandesign is crappy engineering and marketing imho. We can alter every freaking fan in the bios except the asusfan that came with the mobo which some users can hear, like w-t-a-f... When you bought a silent computerbuild, this asus mobofan can feel like betrayal.

New pc components: AMD3600 / Scythe Ninja 5 / x570 tuf wifi / 2*8GB 3200cl16 Crucial E-die / Straight Power 650W / Pure Base 500 Silent White / KC2000 1TB NVME SSD
Old Components: 2x 240GB Sata SSD's / 2x 320GB 7200rpm Samsung Spinpoint / Nividia 960 2GB videocard / 1080p/1ms/144Hz monitor


So far I have:
A) I overclocked my 3600 on the X570 Tuf to 4200Ghz manually on stockvoltage in Bios, temperatuur was 80°C (Scythe Ninja 5 cpu aircooler).
B) After that I went back to stock settings and enabled PB-Overdrive in Bios. This setting also made the cpu run at 4200Ghz (99% of the time when needed), but at a slightly higher voltage according to Rivatuner (exact voltage-increase I did not note). I am still positive about PBO, because during the lifespan of the processor it could get less voltage on average with PB-Overdrive, so I assume this is good for lifespan.
C) Tried overclocking memory with DRAMcalculator settings in Bios, but somewhere the biostexts do not align with Dramcalculatortexts, so my pc froze on reboot because I ****ed up. So I put memory back on DOCP settings 3200/cl16 for now, still have to give it another go.

So, I still have to fiddle with:
D) getting memory to 3200/cl14 settings in Bios
E) Some OC settings have levels and I wonder what they actually do, so need to dive into that.
F) Giving Ryzen Master software a go.
G) Finally chosing a OC-methodcombination to my liking (probably good ol' bios)
H) I have 2 old HDD's installed in my case which I want to run parallel for backups.
I) Dualbootinstallment for linuxmint.
J) Getting a descent automated backup running smoothly.
K) Need a new wireless mouse and wireless keyboard.
L) Save up for a descent GPU, when a games hits the shelves I actually want to play at 144Hz.
M) This mobo has an incryption addon, I like to fiddle around with that and see what it grants me.

Thought I'd share some of my experience with BIOS version 1201. First thing to do when you enter the UEFI is hit F7 to go into Advance Mode, where under Exit tab you'll find "Load Optimize Defaults".
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303358&thumb=1
After doing this I find that there's some settings that need changing right away or else it won't boot. If using an AIO, and don't have CPU/ Optional fan connected, set Monitor these Speed to "Ignored".
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303360&thumb=1
Also go into Boot Configuration menu and change Setup Mode > Advanced Mode so no more hitting F7!
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303364&thumb=1
Next going into Ai Tweaker section there's options to change Memory and FCLK Frequency which is handy for squeezing out extra performance from your new Ryzen system, consensus being 3800/1900 is the recommended "sweet spot" to aim for in terms of low latency and high memory bandwidth.
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303366&thumb=1
The AI Overclock Tuner tab allows loading X.M.P. Profiles for memory, otherwise leave on Auto for manually selecting desired settings. Performance Enhancer I haven't really experimented with yet, but imagine it does like says and adds more voltage in core boost behavior. Similarly OC Tuner and Performance Bias these settings I leave on their default values of Keep Current Settings and Auto. Moving down to Precision Boost Overdrive I found leaving everything on Auto works fine for 4.4GHz.

DRAM Timing Control is next and here I enter the following values generated from DRAM Calculator.
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303370&thumb=1
Main thing here is to enter correct timings for each setting otherwise stability suffers or won't boot.
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303372&thumb=1
I found Fast profile timings from DRAM Calculator works for me, although if it doesn't then try Safe.
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303382&thumb=1
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303374&thumb=1
Voltages are also best input manually where possible to ensure stability and optimal performance.
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303376&thumb=1
For Best CPU/DRAM stability in the DIGI+ VRM tab again I follow DRAM Calculator recommendations.
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303378&thumb=1
Finally I set the following Voltages: SoC 1.1 V, DRAM 1.45 V, CLDO VDDG 0.9 V, VTTDDR 0.725 V and VPP_MEM 2.5 V and with these settings my Ryzen 3700X is stable and performing quite well.
https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=303380&thumb=1
Another thing to do is setup Qfan Control, which I do in Windows actually, since despite everything I've tried can only get the Silent profile to enable once I sign in, otherwise all the case fans run full speed. Hope this helps new TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) owners. Questions/ suggestions please comment.
