The short version
The TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi is ASUS's mainstream B850 ATX board. It has a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, three M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0), four SATA ports, Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5Gb Ethernet, plus a BIOS FlashBack button. It does not include USB4, and only one M.2 slot is Gen5, so it suits mainstream Ryzen 9000 builds rather than storage-heavy ones.

- Four SATA ports
- DisplayPort and HDMI outputs
- Dual 8-pin CPU power
Cons
- Only one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot
- No USB4
