It supports AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 Series processors, with capacity for one CPU. Designed as a modern foundation for gaming, creative and general high-performance systems, the board combines DDR5 memory support, PCIe expansion, M.2 and SATA storage connectivity, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, high definition 8-channel audio and a broad selection of USB connections within a compact 24.4 cm x 24.4 cm micro ATX format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFour 288-pin DIMM slots provide support for up to 256 GB of unbuffered DDR5 memory. The motherboard uses a dual-channel memory architecture and supports memory speeds reaching 8000 MT\/s when overclocked. Both non-ECC memory and DDR5 with on-die ECC are supported, while AMD EXPO technology provides additional memory configuration capability for compatible hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExpansion and storage options are provided through PCIe, M.2 and SATA interfaces. The board includes one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 4.0 x1 slot. Three M.2 sockets are available for PCIe 4.0 storage, comprising two sockets designed for 2280 M.2 Key M devices and one M.2 Key M socket supporting 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. Four SATA-600 ports provide additional storage connectivity. RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 and RAID 5 configurations are supported across the specified SATA-600 and PCIe 4.0 M.2 storage interfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS II offers an extensive selection of external USB connectivity. Its rear interfaces include one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 connection, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and four USB 2.0 ports. Additional connections can be provided through the motherboard headers, including one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 connections and four USB 2.0 connections. Internal connectivity also includes an audio header and serial header.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor display connectivity, the motherboard provides both HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces. Onboard graphics output requires a compatible CPU with graphics capability. Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC1220P codec, providing high definition 8-channel audio. The audio system complies with High Definition Audio and DTS Sound Unbound standards, while the supplied software package also includes DTS Audio Processing. External analogue audio connections comprise line-in, microphone and line-out mini-jack interfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWired networking is provided through a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN interface. TUF LANGuard is among the motherboard's hardware features, alongside a range of ASUS TUF protection technologies intended to support dependable operation. ESD Guards, overvoltage protection, ASUS SafeSlot, ASUS SafeDIMM, an ASUS Stainless Steel Back I\/O and ASUS TUF Protection are all incorporated into the board's hardware design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePower delivery uses a 14+2+1 phase design with 80A power stages, ASUS DIGI+ VRM and ProCool power connectivity. The motherboard takes power through a 24-pin main connector together with two 8-pin ATX12V connectors. An 8-layer PCB is used as part of the board construction. Thermal hardware includes a VRM heatsink design, chipset heatsink and M.2 heatsink to manage heat around key motherboard components during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe motherboard also incorporates a range of DIY-focused features intended to assist with installation, component changes and system management. A pre-mounted I\/O shield is fitted, while PCIe Slot Q-Release and M.2 Q-Latch provide dedicated mechanisms for working with compatible expansion and storage hardware. Q-DIMM, Q-LED and Q-Dashboard are also included. The board further provides a BIOS FlashBack button and Clear CMOS button, alongside ASUS Aura Sync support for compatible lighting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirmware is based on an AMI BIOS with UEFI BIOS functionality and ASUS EZ Flash 3. Wake on LAN and wake on PME are supported for compatible system configurations. The motherboard's combination of AM5 processor support, DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 expansion, PCIe 4.0 M.2 storage, SATA storage, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and multiple generations of USB connectivity provides a platform with a wide range of options for building and upgrading a modern system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes the ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS II motherboard, two Serial ATA cables, one M.2 rubber package, an M.2 screw package and a TUF GAMING sticker. Included software consists of Armoury Crate, ASUS AI Advisor, ASUS DriverHub, TurboV Core and DTS Audio Processing. The software bundle also includes a free trial of Adobe Creative Cloud, a 60-day trial of Norton 360 for Gamers and a 40-day trial of WinRAR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct name: ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel:
