Asus Tuf?
Asus Tuf?
Exploring a full upgrade path has been on my mind, especially with the Asus Tuf Boards catching my eye—maybe their look is what I like, in black and yellow. I’m planning to go for a Ryzen 9 series and an RTX 3080 once I can find one. I haven’t seen much about these boards yet, and my friend is all about gigabytes. If anyone has any insights, I’d really appreciate it!
The x570 tuf offers solid performance with 12 sic639 and can comfortably manage a 3900x board. For a budget, it's a reasonable choice. Consider the cost, currency, and your location when deciding. This board performs well overall.
I personally own a R9 3900X with an X570 TUF Wi-Fi that faced problems right after installing Windows. It would crash immediately, so I had to disable the WiFi in BIOS to load properly. The default driver for Wi-Fi likely caused the BSOD, and the RAM speed wasn't working well. I had to reset the BIOS multiple times until it stabilized. It seems the issue might be board-specific, but others with similar setups reported success after updating BIOS. Newer boards could have resolved this problem. Overall, it's a solid board once configured correctly—it rarely caused other issues and offers good value.
Note: BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER refers to the error code for the X570 TUF Wi-Fi issue.
I’d prefer around $200 for a board, but I wouldn’t exceed that. For US/Ca, it’s fine. As long as it can handle some rough use, I’m good with a gigabyte Am350m-Gaming3 board—anything counts now!
200 USD or CAD? Haha, but let's assume it's USD. Spoiler: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price Motherboard Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 costs $164.99 at B&H.
