I believe this is a historic low price for this popular motherboard. Currently going ~$350 locally, cheapest right now is $329 via Static Ice.

ABOUT THIS MOTHERBOARD:

  • AMD AM4 Socket and PCIe 4. 0: The perfect pairing for Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 & 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen CPUs

  • Enhanced power solution: military-grade TUF Gaming components, Precools socket and Digi+ VRM for maximum durability

  • Comprehensive Cooling: Active PCH heatsink, VRM heatsink, M. 2 heatsink, hybrid fan headers and Fan Expert 4

  • Next-Gen Connectivity: Dual PCIe 4. 0 M. 2, USB 3. 2 Gen 2 ports, exclusive Relate L8200A Gigabit Ethernet, TUF LANGuid and Turbo LAN technology

  • Relate S1200A Codec: Features an unprecedented 108dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line-out and a 103dB SNR for the line-in, providing pristine audio quality

Please ensure your BIOS is up to date if installing a compatible Ryzen 5000 series CPU. Visit ASUS site search by motherboard model name, click on “Support” tab, Drivers and Tools, then BIOS & Firmware to download the latest BIOS.

The ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI) is also available on Amazon for $322.48

https://www.amazon.com.au/ASUS-TUF-X570-PRO-Motherboard-Addr…

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO:

  • The PRO comes with a Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth receiver which directly connects to the motherboard for a better quality signal.

  • The PRO is released in September 2020; so it's one of the latest X570 motherboards.

  • The PRO uses the new memory topology; so it overclocks RAM better, and supports higher frequency RAM too.

  • The PRO has an Intel 2.5 Gbps LAN chipset, which is higher quality than the Realtek 1 Gbps used in the PLUS variant.

  • The PRO comes with On-Board USB 3.2 Gen 2

                @petry: You're not buying from Amazon US, you're buying from Amazon AU who are importing it from Amazon US. So you are still protected under the ACCC for Amazon AU products I believe. Either way many speak highly of Amazon and from my experiences with them, if you email them they'll refund you and pay for delivery cost for the item to be shipped back to them. In a lot of cases if the product is under $100, sometimes they even tell you keep the broken product or throw it away and here's your refund.

                  @ThatsCheap: support warranty is from ASUS. Only returns are from amazon - dunno why everyone ignores the fact that amazon does not supply product support except they want to so….

                  'apparently ozbargain promotes foreign - ie amazon us motherboard sales without making clear they are not supported locally in australia by their manufacturers for reasons that seem obvious.

                  the fact that you can send them back to amazon for a replacement or refund is being portrayed falsely as being the same even though most motherboards have a 3 year warranty and amazon only provides 1 year

                  the further time delays are also being ignored… 1 month without a board is not a factor I exclude when buying or missing parts…but clearly others see nothing wrong with not even being able to access support online from asus because amazon does not provide spare parts or support….lol

    I did a two week research into the x570 boards and based on all the reviews I read here are my top 5.

    Mainly with a 5900x and 5950x in mind:

    1. MSI x570 Tomahawk (can't beat this board for VRMs and features for the Price)
    2. Asus x570-E ($100 more expensive as #1 -only if you prefer this particular brand/look)
    3. ASRock x570 Taichi ($50 more expensive than #2 but feature packed including 3 X M.2s)
    4. Gigabyte Aorus x570 Master (most expensive so that's why fourth but very feature packed and great aesthetics)
    5. Asus x570 TUF Gaming Plus - (The cheapest on the list but runs hotter than all the above and 16 degrees hotter than the Tomahawk. Has had some reports of RAM compatibility at higher speeds and overclocking - probably due to less power phases than the above boards but this should not be an issue for the 5600x and 5800x with less cores).

          The only thing I would bother overclocking is the GPU. Everything else is a waste of time. Risking your gear for tiny performance gains that barely make any difference to gaming just doesn't make sense to me but to each their own I guess.

      Just upgraded to the ASRock x570 Taichi. Can't comment on the other boards listed here, but it's one of the few X570 variants to have a Thunderbolt 3 header (you'll still need an addon card), which is the primary reason I got it.

      Do research on random shut down of MSI x570 Tomahawk board, some users including me having random shut down issues. It's not a power supply issue or CPU or Graphics card but the motherboard. You can google it before making a decision.

        That is a memory issue. Most people don't realise that the 3000 series is not compatible with certain RAM speeds. I bet you have a 3000 series CPU and running xmp at maybe 3600mhz?

        Happens with this board too.

            @ozizoy: This is an issue for all x570 boards. There is a problem with XMP profiles not playing well. They seem to reduce memory vcore below stable (usually at idle the vcore drops below where it should be) and cause the reset/shutdown. You can fix it manually.

    • BargainKen on 28/12/2020 - 15:41

        The VRMs use cheaper components like most budget boards. The tomahawk uses the same high quality parts as the high end x570 boards and is in fact in the top 3 of all x570 boards for VRM temperatures.

        • virtual81 on 28/12/2020 - 22:16

          So really a non issue then.
          People over think the temps of basic semiconductors.
          I'd only be truly concerned if their junction temp was >100c
          If i recall most items like these have a junction temp do not exceed spec of 125c

            @virtual81: It matters with powerful CPUs like the 5900x and 5950x. Especially if you intend to overclock them along with the RAM. The lower the temperature the easier to overclock because there's more headroom.

            • Outsider on 29/12/2020 - 01:04

              @[Deactivated]: I bought an X570 Tomahawk WiFi myself but I'm pretty sure that the VRM on this thing is overkill for most people.

              Hence Buildzoid made a video at Gamers Nexus titled:
              Best Motherboards for AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs: X570, B550 for Gaming & Content Creation
              And it did not include the Tomahawk because of the above reasons.

              As an overclocker who puts his name out on the line, he thought that it would be better for people to spend more money on other parts.

              I'm not going to say Gamers Nexus is the answer to everything though, so I understand that some people might deem the extremely cold VRMs necessary.

                @virtual81: What do you need to be able to overclock even before heat becomes an issue? Power and as many phases possible to provide flexibility and the ability to push through as much power as required to provide the capability. What controls the CPU, GPU, RAM power phases and ensures that as much power as you would like to be directed is efficiently forwarded? The reason why top end boards have great VRMs is not an accident. That's what helps you get as much juice from your CPU, GPU and RAM as possible.

                  @[Deactivated]: Depends on your style of overclocking.

                  You can believe in the marketing and hype around 'premium' VRMs etc..etc..

                  Have you ever actually gone and looked at the manufacturers datasheet for any of these components.
                  I trust the datasheets of the companies that make the VRMs more than the marketing department of a motherboard manufacture and the associated hype from reviewers who have near zero electrical engineering knowledge.

                  I'm not running LN2, and bet 99% of ppl on here aren't either, so if you want to go ahead and buy into components based on needs you'll never have then that's your choice.

                  I buy based on features that I actually need or that interest me and on price to performance.

                  If you can show me a significant sample size of these boards with so called premium fets and additional power stages running consistently and significantly faster with a basic overclock / PBO then you'll change my mind, otherwise it's just noise.

                          Spec sheet clears the fets for up to 150c operation with thermal shut-down at 160c and recovery at 135c.
                          Not a marketing claim but an actual product data sheet.
                          As configured on the ASUS board they're good for 300amps @ 90% efficiency or better.
                          In the most extreme theoretical conditions (1.4v operation @ 90% efficiency at max continuous theoretical power) we're looking at a 42 watt waste.
                          42 watts is quite a bit, but real world we're probably looking at 1/4 of that under a sustained load, less with intermittent loads.
                          Real world it's not delivering 300 amps, it's better than 90% efficient, and it's going to be running less than 1.4 volts.
                          It's heat issues are more likely due to poor thermal conductivity to their heatsink.

                          Do better FETs exist… sure they do.
                          Are better FETs needed. no.

                          Gamers nexus have about 3 or 4 videos that mention FET temps, here is one..

      Based on what I've been reading, it appears that Asus x570 TUF Gaming PRO was meant to be a direct competitor to the MSI x570 Tomahawk which has been ruling the roost for a while now.

      https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/jv97tk/any_reviews_on…

      I was split between the tomahawk and this, and decided to pull the trigger on this one as the prices were almost the same. Has been perfect. Supported Ryzen 9 5900x out of the box.

      Edit: A key feature that's in this iteration is the BIOS flashback + better VRM

      No it's not and it has no bios flashback feature if I remember correctly. So you would need another cpu to flash it.

        The plus variant does have a bios recovery feature, usually in the form of formatting a USB key a particular way and copying on the bios BIN file - Its not as nice as some of the other boards and I dont think there's any visual queues, but doable.
        I'm assuming you can probably use this method to flash the bios to latest.

      Squeeze out a few more months out of that beauty and wait for the Zen 3 to get back in stock and go on discount. The new rumoured Intel CPU's are reportedly just as fast, if not faster, than Zen 3 in single core performance. So there will be competition between AMD & Intel and a lot of specials next year. But probably after March.

      • BargainKen on 28/12/2020 - 16:30

        • ThatsCheap on 28/12/2020 - 16:58

          Yep, it is. They won't be competing with the 5900X and 5950X until later in 2021 probably. The ones releasing in the first half are 8 cores / 16 threads max. So they'll be competing with the 5800X, but based on the alleged numbers that got leaked out yesterday, if they are true. It is very promising. However, as usual, I think Intel will charge a premium for it if those alleged numbers are true. Man they really milked that 14nm node.

    Genuine curiosity here… Can someone explain why motherboards are still being shipped with PS/2 ports? It must be at least ten years since I've seen a ps/2 keyboard or mouse for sale.

      Very cost effective for manufacturers at this point to put them there, wouldn't even cost them a few cents probably. But they can add it as an extra "feature" for those who still might need them.

    Does this support 5900x out of the box without a BIOS update? I don't have a 3000 series processor to do a BIOS update :(

      I don't know, it would depend on manufacturing date. I wouldn't risk it. Personally would buy the PRO variant of it for a 5900X as it comes with newer memory topology and better VRM too I believe. I posted that in the OP too. That one has a BIOS flashback button. So even if it arrives with an old BIOS, you can use another PC or Laptop to download the latest BIOS on a USB, plug that into the new system in the designated BIOS Update USB Drive on the motherboard. Press the button in the rear IO and give it 10 to 20 minutes without touching it until it installs the new BIOS onto itself. Should be all good to go after.

      Can't do this with the X570 TUF PLUS as the feature is not included, but can be done with the X570 TUF PRO.
