Product Description

Product Description

The TUF series delivers a “tough” image. With the unique design & high quality components (military-standard), TUF series is born for pursuing the preeminent stability, all-round compatibility, and extreme durability.

The TUF Thermal Radar monitors temps in critical parts of the motherboard in real time, automatically adjusting fan speeds to make sure the system maintains high stability without overheating. It consists of multiple sensors for various components on the motherboard, giving users the ability to monitor each area, while increasing options for fan control housed inside the chassis. The Thermal Radar automatically calculates ideal fan speeds based on different parameters selected by users for each component, keeping everything cooler and longer lasting.

New DIGI+ Power Control includes multiple digital voltage controllers, allowing ultra-precise modulation and tuning for both the CPU and DRAM. This innovative and industry-leading ASUS technology provides extremely accurate voltage tuning for better efficiency, stability and performance.

ASUS UEFI BIOS offers a user-friendly interface that goes beyond traditional keyboard-only BIOS controls to enable more flexible and convenient mouse input. Users can easily navigate the UEFI BIOS with the smoothness of their operating system. Quick and simple overclocking and setup sharing is facilitated by the F12 hotkey BIOS snapshot feature. The exclusive EZ Mode displays frequently-accessed setup info, while the Advanced Mode is for experienced performance enthusiasts that demand far more intricate system control, including detailed DRAM information.

Get rugged performance even in the most challenging conditions with robust TUF chokes, solid capacitors, and MOSFETs--certified through third-party, military-grade testing. TUF Chokes, also known as the “Alloy Choke”, is a made of a compound of various types of metal instead standard iron, enables the support of up to a massive 40A of rated current, 25% higher than conventional component. Furthermore, the single piece packaing also elimates the emission of virbation noise, delivering superb charactoristics as well as durability under extreme conditions.

A truly revolutionary hardware-based update solution. USB BIOS Flashback offers the most convenient way ever to update the BIOS! It allows users to update new UEFI BIOS versions even without hardware such as a CPU or DRAM installed into the motherboard. Just plug in a USB flash drive containing the BIOS file, and press the BIOS Flashback button for 3 seconds with the power supply connected. The UEFI BIOS will then automatically update without requiring further interaction. With its new, complementary Windows application, users can regularly check for UEFI BIOS updates and download the latest BIOS automatically. Hassle-free updating for the ultimate convenience!

With a single-click on/off button, the application currently in use has its data and network bandwidth prioritized over other programs. Moreover, you can prioritize your favorite software easily by configuring profiles through the intuitive user interface. Within the profile, programs can be pre-scheduled to run in a specific time period to avoid network congestion and long-waits on downloads. Auto PPPoE network connection provides a one-step setup for enhanced online convenience. Overall, it's an intuitive network bandwidth control center.

I recently built a new gaming rig whereby for price i compromised and originally had the Gigabyte motherboard which turned out to be very dissapointing and just failed to work (might have been just the odd one but enough to put me off it completely).

So why did I choose this board?

Build Quality:
- Robust.
- Decent size and great finishing.
- Nothing feels cheap and nasty - everything screams QUALITY.

Design and Finish:
- I love how the Sata ports are positioned, slightly raised and angled so that the cables connect in neatly but away from the board. Each Sata port has a seperate casing :)
- The general layout of this motherboards in terms of connections are well thoughtout and so helpful for custom builders.
- Enough space between the RAM slots and the CPU to add a large cpu cooler/water cooler with no struggles.

Features
- Plenty of USB 3.0 and even more USB 2.0 ports - if your case supports USB 3.0 connection this can easily be added to the motherboard.
- Future proof support windows 8.1 and SSD its definately worth investing in.
- P.O.S.T. with LED indicator (green/red) and beep sound. Basic I know but you don't realise how many other motherboards skimp on the LED indication.
- Excellent realtek sound card (I have creative XiFi soundcard but no need for it) fantasic sound options.

Bios
- Excellent GUI and boot logo it definately looks the part of being 'TUF'
- Easy to use GUI which has three default settings for you system performance, simply click on the desired option and it will reboot. Also very quick, no lags.
- Advanced option for those that wish to overclock and tinker with the settings.
- Straight forward, no nonsense flash bios and updates via usb.

I run all of the IT for a SME and our equipment is 7 - 12 years old and starting to creak a bit. I got this board along with a host of other goodies to build a replacement server. Although it doesn't state it is possible, I installed windows server 2003 on the build and loaded the win XP drivers direct from device manager. The supplied software says the OS is not supported so you have to load this way. Anyway no exclamation marks in device manager anywhere and the whole thing functions perfectly.

I set it up in raid 10 with 4 WD Velociraptor 250GB disks and it gives 370GB read/write performance. You have to have a USB or virtual floppy to do get the on board raid working when you install the OS and once setup I couldn't get an additional LSI raid card to work on it but there's more than enough onboard SATA ports anyway so I wasn't worried about that. The raid monitoring software installs in Windows server 2003 and has great features and you can set it up to email you in a host of different circumstances.

The Mil spec capacitors look great and the board is stunning and is guaranteed for 5 years so you can expect at least 10 years service out of it. In terms of performance, a 700MB SQL backup which took 2 minutes 30 seconds on the old machine now completes in 10 seconds. I paired it with a 8 core 3.6GHz AMD bulldozer processor and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance dual channel RAM.

It has e-sata and USB3 and other than the fact that it is PCIE 2 then that's the only non-future proof feature though again most stuff at the moment seems to be PCIE 3 'ready' rather than true PCIE 3 and there are not a lot of devices around which saturate the PCIE 2 bandwidth anyway.

The Motherboard is fantastic. I have a AMD 8350 and everything worked on the first boot. Installed the provided Drivers and all is well. i have ordered a new CPU fan as the stock fan is rather loud. The whole system runs smoothley with this board and it easily identified all my HArd drives and SSD's. The new Bios is cool and really easy to navigate. I ran 3D mark software and saw higher scores over my last asus board. The instructions are clear and precise and the 5 year warranty is also a great bonus. If you have a budget and an 4, 6 , or 8 core AMD then i would defo recommend this board. You wont regret it......

Just set this motherboard up and finally got the system running quickly.
I had some bother with AHCI as I was using my old SSD's,Hard Drive and CDRW which had been set up under the IDE format(the BIOS comes with AHCI set as default). The trick is to enter the BIOS when you first start up and change the setting to IDE, run the software which comes with the motherboard or use microsoft support to activate the AHCI driver(which are resident on WinVista/Win7 etc, but not enabled); then reboot and change the BIOS back to AHCI. You have to do this for each SSD and HDD if you want to boot from them.
One word of warning, my CD Writer and old HDD didn't like AHCI; fortunately you can get round this by plugging the SSD's into SATA sockets 1-4, and the HDD & CDRW into 5-6, it is then possible to have 1-4 on AHCI and 5-6 on IDE, but not the other way round.
I would recommend updating the BIOS asap, mine came with version 0803 installed. The latest version 1201 is a bit better and it's easy to update using the supplied software.

Otherwise easy to build up, Aftermarket CPU cooler was easy to fit and has plenty of room. The board fitted nicely into my tower case without any messing with repositioning screw mountings; the SATA sockets and supplied cables allowed for a neat job.
Installing the supplied software made booting much quicker than using windows default software.

Overall Great Stuff.

I've taken off a star for the AHCI issue - almost all other Motherboards come set for IDE and this would have made initial set up much easier.

Now to try some overclocking!
