TUF ili The Ultimate Force je poznata Asusova serija matičnih ploča koja je oduvijek bila sinonim za visoku kvalitetu i izdržljivost, komponente certificirane po vojnim standardima, dolazile su s pet godišnjom garancijom, a ploče su najčešće bile i oklopljene. U zadnje je vrijeme Asus malo popustio oko te filozofije pa lijepe TUF ime i na malo običnije proizvode. Jedna od takvih “običnijih” ploča je danas pred nama. B450M-PLUS Gaming je Micro ATX ploča namijenjena Ryzenima, podjednako prvoj i drugoj generaciji. Zbog nešto jednostavnije konstrukcije je idealna za procesore nižeg TDP-a, no ako zatreba “potjerat” će i one jače.

Ploča dolazi u malenoj kutiji, malo većoj od njenih Micro ATX dimenzija, a s njom u paketu dolazi i skroman bundle. On se sastoji od tankih uputa za instalaciju i korištenje, medija s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama, vijaka za M.2 socket, dva SATA kabela, seta TUF naljepnica i certifikata koji jamči pouzdanost i podložnost vojnim standardima izdržljivosti za LANGuard, kondenzatore, prigušnice i MOSFET-e.

Ova je ploča u osnovi vrlo slična prošlogodišnjem B350-F Gaming modelu, s ponešto izmijenjenim dizajnom PCB-a (drugačije šare i dodana RGB LED rasvjeta), manjom plastikom na stražnjim I/O portovima, dodanim shieldom na audio kontroleru i horizontalnim SATA portovima grupiranim u jedan element. Dimenzije su ostale iste (24.4 x 24.4 cm), kao i onaj osnovni layout, tj. raspored komponenata po PCB-u.

Odmah ćemo tako pokuditi vertikalne SATA portove koje be volimo zbog loše organizacije kabela i to je zapravo sve što joj ozbiljnije možemo zamjeriti u rasporedu. Ono što nam se također ne sviđa je maleni pasivni hladnjak na B450 čipu koji se izrazito zagrijava i tijekom normalnog rada. Hladnjak na MOSFET-ima VRM-a je također malen, no zadovoljavajuće hladi kada ima tok zračne struje na sebi kao što je imao s našeg Noctua D15 hladnjaka. Preporuka je uvijek osigurati nekakav protok zraka preko VRM-a, a pogotovo ako procesor hladimo vodenim hlađenjem.
