High Performance.
An upgraded power subsystem and support for high-speed memory, along with compatibility with modern AMD Ryzen processors, make the TUF Gaming A520M-Plus II the perfect foundation for building a PC with a multi-core AMD Ryzen CPU.
Stack Cool 3+.
Multiple layers of copper in the multi-layer PCB help dissipate heat from components, increasing the processor's overclocking potential.
TUF Chokes.
Deliver maximum current stability to the CPU, improving overall system reliability.
TUF Capacitors.
Exclusive capacitors feature enhanced thermal resistance and longer lifespan.
Digi+ Voltage Regulator.
The Digi+ voltage regulator delivers high efficiency, reliability, and stable power under any load.
Cooling System.
A large, robust heatsink is installed over the voltage regulator and chokes.
Flexible Fan Control.
The TUF Gaming A520M-Plus II motherboard provides comprehensive fan control via the Fan Xpert 2+ utility interface and UEFI BIOS.
M.2 (32 Gbps).
Using four PCIe 3.0 lanes, the M.2 connector delivers data transfer speeds up to 32 Gbps. Ideal for connecting modern SSDs (up to 2280 form factor) to significantly accelerate OS boot and application launch times.
USB 3.2 GEN 1 TYPE-A.
Gaming PCs typically use many peripheral devices, and this motherboard offers numerous USB ports, including a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for compatible cases.
For PC Enthusiasts.
TUF Gaming series motherboards have everything needed to build an ideal gaming platform without unnecessary complexity, making system setup simple even for beginners. The TUF Gaming ecosystem simplifies finding compatible components, and hardware adjustments are made via the intuitive Armoury Crate interface.
Easy PC Assembly.
TUF Gaming Alliance is ASUS' collaboration with leading component manufacturers to ensure guaranteed compatibility between motherboards and a wide range of components — PC cases, power supplies, coolers, memory kits, and more. The number of TUF Gaming Alliance partners and their product range continues to grow.
SafeSlot Core+.
SafeSlot Core+ is an ASUS-designed PCIe slot with enhanced durability thanks to a solid stainless steel bracket that protects the slot from damage. A metal shield is secured to the slot using hook mounts, and the entire assembly is firmly attached to the PCB with reinforced solder points, enabling support for heavy graphics cards.
ESD Guards.
To protect against electrostatic discharge, ASUS uses a special protection circuit capable of withstanding up to 10 kV via air and 6 kV via contact (industrial standard is ±6 kV and ±4 kV respectively).
TUF LANGuard Technology.
The onboard Ethernet port on this motherboard features TUF LANGuard protection against static electricity and voltage spikes.
Memory Overcurrent Protection.
Onboard fuses prevent overcurrent and short circuits, protecting all device components — from peripheral connectors to memory slots.
Stainless Steel Backplate.
The backplate on TUF Gaming series motherboards is made of stainless steel coated with a thin layer of chromium oxide, providing anti-corrosion properties and extended lifespan. These motherboards have passed 72-hour salt fog testing, while other manufacturers' products typically last only 24 hours under the same conditions.
Immersive Gaming Experience.
The TUF GAMING A520M-Plus II is an excellent foundation for building a high-performance gaming PC, enhanced with features that improve gaming comfort — a high-speed network controller that minimizes online game latency, and built-in RGB lighting that can be synchronized with compatible accessories.
Turbo LAN.
Turbo LAN with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology easily reduces online gaming lag through a user-friendly software interface.
Light Up the Game!
The ASUS Aura Sync system supports both external addressable LED strips and multiple Aura-enabled devices, enabling perfect visual synchronization through a unified control center. With Aura Sync, you can create a true light symphony and make your PC truly unique.
Second-Gen Addressable RGB Header.
The motherboard's addressable RGB header supports detection of the number of LEDs on second-generation strips, allowing software to automatically configure lighting effects for specific devices. The new headers also maintain backward compatibility with existing Aura lighting devices.
