Asus Tuf?

Was looking into going all out and upgrading again and have been drawn to the Asus Tuf Boards (maybe its asthetic thing love me some black and yellow) Im gonna be running hopefully A Ryzen 9 series and a RTX 3080 when i can get my hands on one, but I haven't seen to much on the Tuf boards and my friend lives and dies by gigabyte. If anyone has any info I would love to hear from you :)

The x570 tuf is decent, it uses 12 sic639 and will easily handle a 3900x, budget for a board? and currency and location? but this board is pretty good.

personally own a R9 3900x with x570 TUF wifi

 

had issues with it, right after installing windows it just BSOD, had to turn off WiFi in bios to be able to load into windows (the default driver for wifi probably caused the crash)

and RAM speed wouldn't apply well, had to reset bios several times to get it to apply

 

now im not sure if RAM is board specific, but several other people have 3900x and x570 TUF WiFi have had the same issue with WiFi, so there's a tip for you if you want to use it

and after updating to latest bios, i only had to apply my RAM speed once and it sticks, not sure if im lucky or they fixed it.

newer boards might have later bioses too, which probably fixed the wifi issue by now.

 

that said, it's a decent board once you get it working, never had other issues with it once you iron it out.

it's a good board for the value.

 

edit:

"BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER" is the error code for x570 TUF wifi issue if you wanna look it up yourself

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

About $200 for a board I would not want to go above that and US/Ca, and as long as it can take a beating I'm running on a gigabyte Am350m-Gaming3 board so anything is a upgrade at this point lol

To name some, or the x570 tomahawk if you can find one, but if you want to go for the x570 tuf, then sure, it's a good board.
