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.
TUF Fortifier Improves rigidity and cooling behind the board
TUF delivers great strength and cooling via exclusive TUF Fortifier. A reinforced backplate ensures that the motherboard doesn't buckle under the weight of heavy graphics cards and CPU coolers, minimizing the risk of damaged circuitry from bowing and bending.
Media-acclaimed the most intuitive UEFI BIOS
The smoothest mouse-controlled graphical BIOS is with improvements to both EZ and Advanced Modes. It benefits both the novice builder as well as the seasoned overclocker.
TUF Audio Design

Onboard physical shielding, professional engineered design and premium components result in sound output that has exceptional clarity and fidelity.
