Description

ASUS TUF GAMING B450M-PLUS II motherboards now include LANGuard electrostatic discharge protection,

SafeSlot reinforcements, and “carefully planned” power and cooling designs. In addition, Asus included TurboLAN traffic shaping and AI noise-cancelling microphone software.

The Asus TUF Gaming B450-Plus II, like most TUF components, has black-and-yellow battle stripes. It has larger heatsinks and an 8+2 discrete MOSFET VRM capable of handling higher-end Ryzen CPUs.

There are two M.2 slots for Gen3 SSDs, and it now has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connector in addition to a Type-A port. Asus added a DisplayPort port to the rear IO port for those who intend to use an APU instead of a dedicated graphics card.

There are also two RGB LED strip headers if you plan to install additional lighting for the system.
