ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PRO or MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK?

I just ordered the recently released ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PRO off Amazon. I've been wanting the MSI Tomahawk, but it sells out quickly. This ASUS one seems like an equal to me, but I don't know much and it's pretty difficult finding any opinions on this due to how new it is. I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts on it? It's the same MSRP as the MSI one at $219.99 USD.

The Asus pro is gonna be a fine choice. I had one (not the pro, just the plus actually and I killed it by fucking up the socket, my mistake) with a 3600x, I just bought one one as a temporary home for my 5950x i got today but it could be it's permanent home, most of the x570 boards are high quality. The pro is the tuf gaming plus with better lan and heatsinks and is newer so I'd probably just grab it if that what you can get.

 

Edit: Just read OP again, sounds like the Asus pro is hard to get? The TUF gaming plus and plus wif are basically the same like I said, or grab the MSI it wont go wrong either, they are both good boards.

I have a plus and it is a solid board, is there better ? absolutely but for the price it is a great platform so far for me

I meant that the Tomahawk is hard to get as I've been trying for a month. I didn't know that ASUS released the TUF Pro until today, where I tried to do a bit of research on it, but there is very little personal opinions or reviews on it due to how recent it is. I did actually order one, I guess I'm just feeling buyer's remorse because I'm feeling very impatient lol.

Go for the TUF Plus, missing very little features over the Pro, great VRM performance as well.

there is a difference between the gaming-pro, and gaming-plus, that may matter to you. pro has type c header for front panel, plus does not.

It looks very much like the TUF Plus with internet adapter upgrades (1Gb and Wifi 5 to 2.5Gb and Wifi 6) and larger VRM heatsink (that wont affect its VRM rating much if at all). I doubt the actual overclocking part will be any different with the TUF Plus however, it will be behind the Tomahawk in terms of overclocking if that is true.

Behind how exactly? Unless you mean memory clocks over 3600mhz in 1:2 mode?

A few ticks of timing here and there and if you're onto really high frequency at the cost of 1:2 mode, lower frequency. Support for lesser used config like 4x16gb also feels a bit worse, i.e. auto settings are worse, even though the potential feels like they are within margin of error.

One thing everyone failed to tell you is that the 570-plus doesn’t have a flash bios, so if you’re using Zen 3 you will need to update the board with another Zen 2 CPU. I have this board in my build, and it is good though

Right, but what about the newer MB I'm referring too and had purchased, the 570-PRO?

The Pro was just released and should probably have BIOS 1607 or w/e was the first one to support Zen 3. Even the plus I bought last night probably does, but Im going to ask them to flash in case as the plus is much older.

I am using the TUF Gaming X-570 Pro and now that I am on the most recent bios it has been great. I was having issues when I first got it, but I think that mostly bios issues.
