ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi AM5 ATX Motherboard
The ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi is an ATX motherboard built for builders who want AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series compatibility with a broad set of connectivity and storage options in a single board. It pairs a 16+2+1 power stage design with Wi-Fi 7, dual USB4 40Gbps Type-C ports, and four M.2 slots to handle demanding workloads and future storage upgrades without requiring add-in cards. DIY-friendly features like BIOS FlashBack, PCIe Q-Release, and a pre-mounted I/O shield reduce build friction for first-time and experienced builders alike.
Why this product
AM5 socket supports three Ryzen generations
Compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series desktop processors, giving builders flexibility to upgrade CPUs without changing boards.
Four M.2 slots including two PCIe 5.0
Two PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slots and two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots accommodate fast NVMe storage expansion, each covered by a dedicated heatsink.
Wi-Fi 7 with tri-band support
The integrated 2x2 Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) adapter covers 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands with up to 160 MHz channel bandwidth.
Dual USB4 40Gbps Type-C on the rear panel
Two rear USB4 ports deliver 40 Gbps transfer speeds and can also carry USB Type-C display output signals.
BIOS FlashBack for CPU-free updates
A dedicated rear-panel button lets you flash the BIOS using only a USB drive and PSU power, with no CPU or memory installed.
Comprehensive AI cooling and overclocking tools
Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II, AI Overclocking, AI Cache Boost, and Dynamic OC Switcher give users automated and manual tuning options from within the UEFI.

- EAN4711387723609
- Compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series desktop processors via the AM5 socket.
- Supports DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across four DIMM slots, including ECC and Non-ECC unbuffered modules.
- Supports AMD EXPO and ASUS AEMP memory profiles for straightforward memory tuning.
- ATX form factor (12 × 9.6 inches / 30.5 × 24.4 cm) fits standard ATX and larger mid-tower and full-tower cases.
- The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 with Ryzen 9000 and 7000 processors, but drops to PCIe 4.0 x8/x4 mode with Ryzen 8000 series.
- HDMI 2.1 output (4K@60Hz) requires a Ryzen processor with integrated graphics; discrete GPU users will connect via their card's own outputs.
Best for
- AMD platform builders who want a single board that spans three Ryzen generations without an immediate CPU upgrade commitment.
- Storage-heavy workloads where two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots eliminate the need for an add-in storage card.
- Wireless-first setups that benefit from integrated Wi-Fi 7 with tri-band coverage and the included Q-Antenna for easy routing.
- First-time builders who benefit from Q-Release, Q-Latch, Q-LED diagnostic lights, a pre-mounted I/O shield, and BIOS FlashBack.
- Builders who want onboard RGB with full Aura Sync integration across compatible components and accessories.
Trade-offs
- Intel platform users — the AM5 socket is AMD-exclusive and accepts no Intel processors.
- DDR4 memory owners — only DDR5 is supported; existing DDR4 kits cannot be used.
- Builders needing more than two SATA ports — only two SATA 6Gb/s ports are provided, which limits the number of SATA drives or SSDs.
- Small form factor builds — the ATX footprint (12 × 9.6 inches) does not fit Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX cases.
- Users who need a multi-port 2.5GbE or 10GbE wired network — only a single Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet port is included.
