About Gaming Motherboard for Desktop

The onboard VRM of Asus TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS Intel ATX Gaming Motherboard utilizes 12+2 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 10th Gen Intel Core processors demand.

Multiple PCB layers shift heat away from critical components, providing more headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds.

・ Extreme durability
・ Prevent hotspots and connector failure

Compared with traditional power inputs, ProCool sockets are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines.

The resulting lower impedance helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.

1. VRM HEATSINK

A large, high-mass heatsink with extensive surface that covers the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation.

THERMAL PAD

High-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.

2. M.2 HEATSINK

The M.2 heatsink keeps the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

The Asus TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS Intel ATX Gaming Motherboard features comprehensive fan controls that can be configured via Fan Xpert 4 utility or via the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.

SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance.

Manufactured via a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

ESD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10 kV of air discharge and +/- 6 kV of contact discharge — greatly surpassing the respective industry standards of +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV.
