Asus launches TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi motherboard with advanced features

Asus has launched the TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi motherboard, priced at $309.99. This board features the latest X870 chipset, offering USB4, PCIe 5.0, and Wi-Fi 7. It includes three M.2 sockets and DIY-friendly features, but has only two SATA ports. The X870 chipset differs from the X870E by having fewer PCIe lanes, but still supports the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors without needing a BIOS update. The board's design is more understated compared to earlier models, with a focus on effective cooling and ease of use. While the TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi is an upgrade from previous models, it competes with other options in the $300 range. Users looking for advanced features may find it appealing, but those on a budget might consider alternatives with more SATA ports.
