The latest AMD Ryzen processors are proven favorites among gamers. It’s easy to see why: put one of these processors on an AM5 motherboard, combine it with high-speed DDR5, speedy M.2 solid-state storage and a next-generation graphics card, and you’ve got the ingredients for a gaming system that won’t back down from any game on the market. Ready to leave the stands and get into action? Introducing two new TUF Gaming AM5 motherboards, newly updated to meet the needs of today’s gamers. Meet the TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 W Neo and the TUF Gaming B850-Pro WiFi7 W Neo.
White-themed components are able to capture the glow of RGB LED lighting. With a white design, adjusting your rig’s light show with ASUS Aura Sync does more than change the hue. It changes the whole look and feel. The clean lines and balanced geometry of these motherboards complement the aesthetics while allowing their performance to take center stage.
TUF Gaming takes performance to a new level
Thanks to several key improvements, the TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 W Neo is the most powerful TUF Gaming board we’ve ever offered. More than any other TUF Gaming board before, this board lets you squeeze every last drop of performance out of your new CPU. For the first time on TUF Gaming, both the TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 W Neo and the TUF Gaming B850-Pro WiFi7 W Neo now offer asynchronous clocking. This feature allows you to isolate your CPU’s base clock frequency (BCLK) from the clock signals that drive other components such as memory and the Infinity Fabric, potentially allowing you to increase the BCLK higher than you would otherwise be able to. TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 Neo combines Asynchron Clock with additional tools such as Dynamic OC Switcher and Core Flex, giving you versatile and dominant control.
Both TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 W Neo and TUF Gaming B850-Pro WiFi 7 W Neo are primed and ready for memory intensive performance. The eight-layer circuit boards on these models mean you’ll enjoy a quieter signal and more stable performance under pressure. You’ll also get better compatibility with premium kits and more stable performance when trying higher overclocks.
In a first for TUF Gaming, the TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 W Neo features NitroPath DRAM technology. This restructuring of the traditional DRAM slot improves signal quality, increasing DRAM overclocking performance up to 400 MT/s, depending on factors such as memory speed, module and system configuration.

A brief comparison of the two options
As an X870 motherboard, the TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 W Neo builds the foundation for a more premium gaming PC. Its more robust power solution has more power phases designed for Vcore, distributing the work for greater stability, lower operating temperatures and better durability. If you’re looking for the best motherboard for a processor like the popular AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, look no further. The versatility and first-class bandwidth of the two USB4 ports may also be important to you if you regularly connect high-speed external drives. Two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots allow you to double the amount of next-gen storage, and if you’re going all out with a custom liquid cooling scheme, you’ll appreciate the W_PUMP+ connector.
The TUF Gaming B850-Pro WiFi7 W Neo takes a modest step back from its big brother, offering casual gamers an AM5 motherboard that has everything they need and nothing they don’t. With excellent DDR5 support, full support for next-generation graphics cards, and an M.2 slot ready for high-performance PCIe 5.0 solid-state storage, you’ll be primed and ready for a gaming rig you’ll love for a long time. An excellent choice of connections and an array of features that simplify construction only add to the value proposition.
