Motherboard Review: ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI) Review: The X570-PLUS Gets Upgraded
With the recent launch of the AMD’s Ryzen 5000 “Zen 3” chips, we’ve seen a series of revised or upgraded X570 motherboards hitting the market. Today, we’re taking a look at the successor to the popular TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI), the TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI). This motherboard rolls in with a current retail price tag of $219.99. The X570-PLUS (WI-FI) though can be had for $189.99. Are the upgrades between motherboards worth that $30? After all, the X570-PLUS (WI-FI) is a known quantity at this point with a solid, cool-running VRM and a price tag that won’t break the bank. The X570-PRO (WI-FI) is based off of the same design, so many of the key factors are shared between boards. Let’s take a look at the ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI) and see if the upgrades are really worth that pricing bump.
