Like the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite we recently reviewed, the X570-Plus Wi-Fi also hails from the budget end of AMD’s pricier new X570 platform and is priced at a penny under $200 / £233.99 at Newegg at time of publishing. It comes with PCIe 4.0 support, dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, Wi-Fi and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port out back, among other features.

Asus’ TUF lineup has changed from the ultra-robust, heavy shielding it was known for in years past and has evolved more toward gaming-centric boards with protection on individual parts such as the PCIe and DIMM slots. ESD guards and additional surge protection measures and military-grade components are still a part of the TUF lineup and more necessary than any hardened motherboard would be in most use cases. This change has pushed the products down the product stack a bit, but still offers users a good platform to build on. To that end, the Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus Wi-Fi is the second-least-expensive board in the Asus X570 product stack, with the X570-P at $170 taking the entry-level spot.
