Thermal Armor
Optimizes airflow to boost heat dissipation
More than just a cool military-styled cover, TUF Thermal Armor provides boosted airflow for rapid cooling. Reversible-airflow technology blows dust up and away from the heatsink VRM. While the I/O cover fan draws cold air in for extra stability where it counts, helping conduct heat away with the smart shunt design.
Thermal Radar 2
Customized fan tuning, complete system cooling
Z97 Thermal Radar 2 now lets you control fans on ASUS graphics cards, as well your case fans! Multiple onboard sensors and the bundled thermistor cables let you monitor graphics card temperatures and other key components in real time, so you can adjust manually or optimize automatically with one click.
TUF ICe
The total cooling commander
ASUS TUF engineering team have forged a brand-new microchip that delivers incredibly precise temperature monitoring and fan controls.
With the TUF ICe, you can be assured that monitoring of onboard temperature sensors and fan speeds is always ultra-accurate — whether you're adjusting settings manually or using the automatic one-click optimization.
TUF Fortifier
Bolsters boards against bending damage
TUF Fortifier adds a strong backplate so the motherboard doesn't buckle under the weight of heavy graphics cards and CPU coolers. Reduced PCB bowing and bending means an end to potentially damaged circuitry.
With a thermal pad directing heat away from VRM and other key components, TUF Fortifier combines great strength and cooling.
TUF Components
Certified for tough duty
TUF 10K Ti-Caps
+20% temp. tolerance and 5X longer lifetime usage
TUF New Alloy Chokes:
13.6% cooler for extra-unbeatable durability
TUF MOSFETs:
military-grade certified MOSFETs with lower RDS(on)*
*Low RDS means more power efficient and will thus produce slightly less heat as a by-product of the MOSFET
Dust Defenders
Repel the dust, expand the lifespan
TUF design protects back I/O ports, expansion and memory slots plus critical connectors from dust and particles that degrade system performance over time if left unchecked. With a filter to ensure the back I/O fan doesn't draw dust into the board, Dust Defenders guards against dust build up, helping your PC perform in an optimal and stable state longer.
Server-grade Tests
Systematically-tested stability
TUF is proud to be a leading total solution provider. That means we test more than just the product itself — we examine system durability as a whole. Our motherboards undergo extreme temperature variations (thermal shock), extensive Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) test and many whole-build server-grade stability tests — so you know that your TUF motherboard can be trusted in all conditions.
5 Years Warranty
Guaranteed reliability
Each and every TUF motherboard is built with components certified for military use and undergoes serious server-level burn-in tests, including over 7,000 hours of compatibility checks with over 1,000 devices. TUF is forged solid for your confidence, which is why every board is covered by a 5-year warranty.
TUF ESD Guards
Strong ESD protection for extended component lifespan
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen suddenly, and its damaging effects are easily underestimated. TUF ESD Guards are tested to standards that are up to 2X higher than industry standards, ensuring electrostatic discharges are properly grounded from all onboard connectivity — and that means greater component longevity.
Keyboard and mouse connectors:
Additional on-circuit ESD transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes.
USB 3.0/2.0 connectors:
On-circuit transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes and capacitor protection for surface-mount and dual-inline packages.
Audio connectors:
Capacitor protection on both front and back audio-output circuits.
LAN port:
ESD transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode protection on the LAN circuit bolstered by an anti-surge LAN connector that increases protection against extreme events, such as lightning strikes.
