ASUS X570-PLUS TUF anyone? Very limited real-world info.

Was looking at the Elite too. I wouldn't need the WIFI element.

elite is a beefy board, actaully has higher amps across vcore but not as eff as Pro in doing so , but still hammers virals at same price

£193 odd

Yeah, it's a toss up between the Asus and the Aorus Elite. Would only be housing a 3600 for now. Think the Gigabyte RMA/warranty probably does sway it

What's the onboard chipset fan like? I've noticed it's right underneath the GPU.

Can't say I've ever noticed it and that's with an MSI 1080 dumping it's exhaust into the case.

Asus TUF wifi was solid for me. I didn't update the bios as it all seemed to work out of the box.

I've moved onto the gigabyte x570 itx board now though as i wanted to downsize...

Guessing the RAM i have at the moment would do the job for now?

Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHZ.

Currently in a Gigabyte 350 board with XMP enabled.

yeah, ram should be fine. might worth seeing if you can change speed from 3000 to 3200 within bios leaving all timings the same , maybe upping voltage up one value
