ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI takes all the essential elements of the latest AM5 Socket for AMD Ryzen™ Desktop Processors and combines them with game-ready features and proven durability. Engineered with military-grade components, an upgraded power solution and a comprehensive cooling system, this motherboard goes beyond expectations with rock-solid and stable performance for marathon gaming. TUF GAMING motherboards also undergo rigorous endurance testing to ensure that they can handle conditions where others may fail. Aesthetically, this model incorporates rugged off-black and geometric design elements to reflect the dependability and stability that defines the TUF GAMING series. This platform delivers the power and connectivity that advanced AI PC applications demand.
The Asus TUF Gaming B650M-Plus Wi-Fi ($229.99), aside from being a mouthful to say, is a lower-end MicroATX board based on the B650 chipset. It comes with everything that makes it TUF, including military standard endurance and reliability testing, capable power delivery, and more. Specifications-wise, it comes well-equipped for its price range, though you are missing PCIe 5.0 slots. Still, you have plenty of storage options, including a PCIe 5.0 M.2 socket, a budget-class audio solution, and support for the latest AM5 processors from AMD, including the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X we test with.
