Verdict

The ASUS TUF Gaming B460M-Plus is a micro-ATX motherboard designed for 10th Gen Intel Core processors on the LGA 1200 socket, featuring a 6+1+1 power stage VRM with military-grade TUF components for enhanced durability. Key specifications include four DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB at 2933MHz, dual M.2 slots (one with a dedicated heatsink), and Intel I219-V Gigabit Ethernet with TUF LANGuard. Its main pros are the robust cooling solution (including VRM and PCH heatsinks), high-quality Realtek S1200A audio with 108dB SNR, and Aura Sync RGB lighting support. However, it is limited to PCIe 3.0, lacks overclocking support for 'K' series CPUs due to the B460 chipset, and has a relatively basic rear I/O with only six USB ports.
