UPDATE AS OF 2024: This motherboard now supports Intel's 14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh" processors with a BIOS update available for download from ASUS's website! Check out the written review for this motherboard here: www.alktech.co/articles/review-asus-tuf-gaming-b760-plus-wifi-d4-lga1700-motherboard
I have the ASUS B760-Plus WIFI D4 motherboard. My question is if the green Line Out audio jack gets damaged, how can one replace it and at what price cost?
They still didn't change the color of the big orange "TUF Gaming" text... What's the point in having RGB accent on side if you can't RGB that or change it to a muted color like with their TUF Z boards? Because at this price range, I'm already paying for aesthetics and logo, else I'll get the Prime boards. Then again, I guess yellow and orange is what makes them the "TUF series". It's still a very solid looking board nonetheless.
What the difference between ASUS ROG STRIX B760-A GAMING WIFI DDR4 and this mobo Asus TUF GAMING B760-Plus WIfi D4 ? Can I pair with one of this a i5-13500 or 13600KF ? ASUS ROG STRIX B760-A GAMING WIFI DDR4 can have great VRM then this mobo Asus TUF ?
The ROG STRIX is more expensive naturally, and comes with a "nicer" looking aesthetic (I personally prefer the ROG STRIX's looks), better audio setup, WIFI 6E (versus WIFI 6 with the TUF GAMING), Intel 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (versus Realtek 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet on the TUF GAMING) and quality-of-life features such as PCIe Q-Release. VRMs wise, both boards come with 12+1 setups rated for 50A, so they will both handle the 13600KF or 13500 with ease. You'll probably have to check what's the price difference over in your country between these two boards, and see whether the features I mentioned above are things that you'd like to have in your PC build!
You won't have to get a discrete standalone TPM chip to run Windows 11, if that happens to be your query! Modern Intel processors (i.e. 12th/13th/14th Gen processors supported by this board) already have TPM built into them.
The ROG STRIX B760-A is one tier higher than the TUF GAMING featured in this video, and more expensive too (around US$38 more expensive where I'm from) - the ROG STRIX looks nicer (in my opinion), has better audio and more quality-of-life features such PCIe Q-Release. Other than these, the rest of the specs between both boards are pretty similar I'd say.
@@ALKtech Tuf Gaming is available here at US$259 and Rog strix B760 A is available at $307 while Msi Tomahawk b760 is available at US$273. Do you think Rog Strix is worth $48 more ? Which one will be better? I'm planning to buy one of these for my 13600k as I don't have any plans to oc
@@tanmoychatterjee2125 mmm I guess the question is, do you think the $48 is worth paying for to get the looks that the ROG STRIX has, along with the better audio codec? If it's a no, then the TUF GAMING might be your best bet! Comparing the TUF GAMING to the MSI board, both are very similar in terms of specs again, just that the MSI has WIFI 6E instead of WIFI 6 with the TUF GAMING. If you don't care for WIFI 6E, I'd save the money over getting the MSI, and opt for the TUF GAMING too. Just my two cents!
I have the ASUS B760-Plus WIFI D4 motherboard. My question is if the green Line Out audio jack gets damaged, how can one replace it and at what price cost?
You'll have to get the board replaced under warranty/repaired by ASUS! If the audio jack is faulty due to a manufacturing defect, you should be able to get your local distributor to replace/repair the board under warranty..
Can I buy Asus Rog Strix and i5-13600KF ? Everything will be fine in terms of perfomence/Hot things/VRM ? I ask this because it s a non Z mobo and the cpu it s a K one.
Yup, just bear in mind you won't be able to overclock the 13600KF on this as it's a B760 board, you'll need to get a Z790 board if you wanna overclock.
How's the pricing like for both boards where you're from, and what CPU will you be using with the board? At first glance, the Gigabyte has a better 16 phase power delivery setup, better audio and much more USB ports on the rear I/O than the ASUS! The ASUS on the other hand has PCIe 5.0 support for the graphics card slot. In my opinion it'll all boil down to pricing, if the Gigabyte is cheaper/priced the same, I'd probably go with Gigabyte in this instance. Do note that you'd probably need to update the Gigabyte's BIOS using the Q-Flash Plus feature before you can drop in a 13th Gen Intel CPU, as B660 boards are unlikely to ship with 13th Gen-ready BIOSes!
@@ALKtech ASUS TUF is at 212 USD while Aorus Master B660 is at 248 USD in Indonesia. So u suggest pick the aorus master? I’m kinda pressing my budget now. But i can go with aorus master.
@@kalebyuseli3865 Oh I see. I think what CPU you're gonna use is also important in determining which board to get - are you getting a Core i5 or i7? You'd also need to consider whether or not you'd appreciate the additional features that the Gigabyte has, and whether you think it's then worth to pay the US$36 difference...
@@kalebyuseli3865 👍 I personally would save the money and go for the TUF GAMING instead, as the VRMs of the TUF GAMING should be more than enough for the 13600KF, and I'm not thaaaat big on audio personally. Just my two cents!
Hi, I would like to know what processors it uses as an acronym because on the Asus website it doesn't specify anything, I would like to know the acronyms it uses I3 -I5 -I7 ok I would like to know if it also mounts I9 and which generation if so? ..Thank you
In short, Core i3 processors can be considered budget-friendlier entry-level offerings, while Core i5 processors are more mid-range. Core i7 products are high-end, while the Core i9 is the absolute top-of-the-line in Intel's product stack. This board supports 12th, 13th and 14th Generation Core processors from i3 to the i9 (though I personally wouldn't use this board with an i9 as this board might not be able to fully harness the i9's power). Hope this helps!
Yup you'll have to attach the antenna - the board's WIFI and Bluetooth share the same antenna, so its best to have it hooked up so as to improve the signal strength.
The board comes with four case fan headers; that said, you can always grab a third-party fan hub that allows you to hook up even more fans where necessary!
@@ALKtech yes, I think it's matx, I don't know atx The problem is there are two variants of this mobo Rada confused the difference when I first saw it How come 1 brand has 2 sizes 😁😁😁
Higher-end motherboards (e.g. premium boards with the Z790 chipset) tend to come with better VRM configurations, which would provide "cleaner" power for high-end CPUs such as the 13900K. In productivity workloads where the CPU is constantly under heavy load, a better motherboard MIGHT make a difference in performance. However, if you're intending to do just gaming with your PC, my take is that mid-range boards might do just fine, as long as you have a good CPU cooler and good airflow for your PC case.
does it make a difference whether or not you buy the wifi version of a motherboard? "Which is faster for downloading games" is essentially my question.
Yup, wired ethernet for the best possible speed. Having built-in WIFI for a motherboard is more of a feature for folks who can't run a wired internet connection to their desktop PCs for whatever reason!
