TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING (WI-FI) TUF Gaming motherboards are meticulously crafted to deliver unwavering durability and performance. Build your gaming rig with other TUF Gaming Alliance components to get the best compatibility and complementary aesthetics. This model supports the 9th/8th Gen Intel processors, Aura Sync RGB, Intel Optane Memory, and dual M.2 SSDs. A PCIe to M.2 Wi-Fi card is also included for convenient connectivity. EASY PC DIY EXPERIENCE TUF GAMING ALLIANCE TUF Gaming Alliance is the marque of collaboration between ASUS and major PC-component manufacturers, including trusted brands like Ballistix, Cooler Master, Corsair, G.Skill, In Win and Themaltake. A growing range of compliant parts, from PC chassis and power supplies to CPU coolers and DRAM, guarantee both compatibility and aesthetic harmony. We're also continually increasing our partnerships, making the TUF Gaming Alliance ever stronger. TUF PROTECTION SAFESLOT CORE+ SafeSlot Core+ is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot fortified with a one-piece stainless-steel brace that shields the slot to protect it from damage. The metal cover is tightly secured to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the PCB with strengthened solder points to provide a secure foundation for heavyweight graphics cards. ESD GUARDS ESD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10kV of air discharge and +/- 6kV of contact discharge—greatly surpassing the respective industry standards of +/- 6kV and +/- 4kKV Lan Port: ESD TVS diode protection on the LAN Circuit. Keyboards and Mouse Connectors: Additional on-circuit ESD transient-voltage-suppression. VGA Protection: Additional on-circuit ESD TVS diodes to protect D-Sub functionality. USB Connectors: TVS diode for surface-mount and dual-inline package. DIGI+ VRM The Digi+ VRM voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times. STAINLESS-STEEL BACK I/O TUF's corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panels are bonded with chromium oxide—so they can endure a 72-hour salt-spray test, compared to the industry standard of just 24 hours. TUF COMPONENTS TUF CHOKES Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU, helping to improve system stability. TUF CAPACITORS +20% temperature tolerance and 2.5X-longer lifespan. TUF MOSFETS Certified military-grade MOSFETs with lower RDS(on)*. *Lower RDS(on) results in better power efficiency and reduced heat generation. PERFORMANCE LEVEL UP FAN XPERT 2+ System temperatures are key to a stable gaming rig. TUF Gaming motherboards include FAN Xpert 2+ software that's able to intelligently control system fans based upon the input of sensor. This ensures that your TUF Gaming system stays perfectly cooled, no matter how long you play. IMPROVED DDR4 STABILITY—ASUS OPTIMEM ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing traces and vias to the optimal PCB layer, and our T-Topology trace layout ensures time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements allow the TUF Gaming motherboards to support a wide range of dual and quad-DIMM memory kits, while providing your rig with the stability it needs to deal with any type of workload—whether you're gaming or running intensive applications. OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION—EDGE ZONE A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware. GAMING NETWORKING BUNDLE A PCIE TO M.2 WIFI CARD ASUS PCIE TO M.2 WIFI CARD comes with an easy-to-install Realtek Wireless-8821CE Wi-Fi module, which provides Gigabit download speed and improves connected experience. TUF LANGuard TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput, protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static electricity. ULTRAFAST TRANSFER SPEED DUAL ONBOARD M.2 AND M.2 HEATSINK TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING (WI-FI) features dual onboard M.2 slots, both operating at X4 PCI Express 3.0 to provide a scintillating 32Gbps of bandwidth. The primary slot, placed below the CPU socket and covered by a heatsink, uses the chassis airflow to keep drive temperatures under control, ensuring peak performance under all scenarios. INTEL OPTANE MEMORY READY Intel Optane is a revolutionary non-volatile memory technology supported by TUF Gaming motherboards. Intel Optane memory modules accelerate attached storage to reduce boot and load times, so everything feels faster and more responsive. INTEL CPU AND CHIPSET FEATURES The Intel B365 is a single-chipset design that supports Socket 1151 for 9th Gen and 8th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability. Additionally, the B365 chipset provides a maximum of six USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, six SATA 6Gbps ports, and 32Gbps M.2 and PCIe 3.0 lane-speed support, for faster data retrieval. Intel B365 also supports integrated-graphics, so you'll enjoy the very latest in graphics performance.TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING (WI-FI)
