Asus TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS (90MB1IX0-M0EAY0)

Full-size ATX motherboard by Asus based on AMD B850 chipset with an AM5 processor socket, providing compatibility with the latest Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series chips built on Zen 4 and Zen 5 architectures. The model is part of The Ultimate Force 2025 series and belongs to the mid-price segment, aimed at gamers who value reliability, stability, and high-quality cooling systems.

Its functionality is close to flagship motherboards of previous generations. The backbone of the board is a reinforced 17-phase power subsystem, whose technical capabilities are suitable even for the most powerful processors like the Ryzen 9 7900X or Ryzen 9 9900. The functionality of the board is managed by a mid-range chipset logic on the B850M chipset. The chipset features a PCI-E 5.0 interface, which is actively used in modern graphics cards and SSDs, and supports DDR5 memory with an operating frequency of 8000 MHz or higher.

All slots are equipped with individual heatsinks for effective heat dissipation from drives under heavy loads. The 4 DIMM slots can accommodate an astounding 192 GB of RAM, which is truly necessary for only a few users. Network capabilities are represented by a Realtek RTL8125 gigabit Ethernet controller with a bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps, and sound is delivered by the reliable Realtek ALC1220P audio codec. The audio zone is physically isolated from the rest of the board, minimizing potential interference. Additionally, there is a contact group for connecting external Thunderbolt/USB4 cards, ensuring the board remains relevant even in advanced builds with modern accessories and peripherals.
