The short version
The TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi is ASUS's mainstream X870 ATX board. It brings two USB4 ports, Wi-Fi 7, a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and four M.2 slots (two PCIe 5.0) with dual 8-pin CPU power. Compromises are a single 2.5Gb LAN port, only two SATA ports and lane sharing between the GPU slot, M.2_2 and M.2_4. It suits Ryzen 9000 builds that want USB4 without a premium board.

- PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots
- Dual 8-pin CPU power
- BIOS FlashBack button
