The features of the ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming in detail:
The ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming is a motherboard in ATX format and has a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection for graphics cards as well as another PCI Express 3.0 slot with x8 connection. The four RAM banks accommodate up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory with a clock rate of up to 2,933 megahertz and can even handle clock rates of up to 4,000 MHz via OC.

The Socket AM4 motherboard provides two M.2 slots with PCIe connectivity. M.2 SSDs connected via four PCI Express 3.0 lanes, in conjunction with the NVM Express Advanced Protocol (NVMe), support data transfer rates of up to 32 Gbps, up to eight times faster than SATA-6G HDDs.

The ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming I / O panel has a USB 3.1 connector with Type-C female connector. The new USB type C port is very thin and can be plugged in on both sides. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port. USB ports with this standard also support the quick-charging feature of mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets.

A special feature is the two RGB lighting zones and the TUF Armor. For controlling and automatically synchronizing with other RBG components via Aura Sync, the ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming has a header for static RGB LEDs. Furthermore, the board has an HDMI port and a DVI port.
