Asus TUF X299 MARK 2 Intel X299 LGA2066 Motherboard

INTEL 2066 POWERED PC MOTHERBOARD. TUF MARK2

This durable ATX motherboard is the TUF X299 Mark 2 from ASUS’ 2066 socket series. It boasts incredible stability and efficient cooling. The TUF X299 motherboard has been designed for enthusiasts, modders and gamers, or anybody who may require reliable performance day in, day out. Built with industry leading cooling control and temperature monitoring, high-speed transfer rates and overclocking in mind, ASUS’ ATX TUF Mk2 is an incredibly capable motherboard.

DEDICATED DESIGN FOR OVERCLOCKING

TUF X299 Mark 2 includes a dedicated base-clock (BCLK) generator to extend CPU and memory overclocking margins. This custom solution works in tandem with the TPU to enhance voltage and BCLK overclocking control, providing the flexibility to extract every ounce of performance from the Intel Core X-series processors.

PROTECT YOUR GRAPHICS CARD INVESTMENT

Safeslot: SafeSlot (patent pending) is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

ESD Guards 2: ESD Guards 2 protects TUF X299 Mark 2 from damaging electrostatic discharge. ESD Guards 2 is tested to levels that are 2X higher than industry standards. We also perform pin-level* testing at 30%-higher ESD levels than previous TUF standards. Our stringent tests mean greater component longevity for your TUF motherboard!

ESD Guards 2: Certified military-grade TUF chokes offer unbeatable durability in order to maximize the lifespan of your system. +110% temperature, tolerance and 1.5X-longer lifespan. Certified military-grade MOSFETs with lower RDS(on), lower RDS(on) results in better power efficiency and reduced heat generation.

NEVER BE LEFT BEHIND AGAIN WITH ON-BOARD M.2 MEMORY

M.2 up to 32Gbps: With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, TUF X299 Mark 2's dual M.2 supports up to 32Gbps data-transfer speeds. It's the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast access to data.

Intel Optane memory: Intel Optane is a revolutionary non-volatile memory technology supported by TUF X299 Mark 2. Intel Optane memory modules accelerate attached storage to reduce boot and load times, so everything feels faster and more responsive.

MORE THROUGHPUT, LESS CPU USAGE AND GREAT GAMING EXPERIENCES

Don't let slow networking disrupt your workflow! With Intel Gigabit Ethernet connectors, TUF X299 Mark 2 keeps your data moving swiftly and efficiently. With LAN port, you'll benefit from increased bandwidth for more speed, automated load balancing for smoother data flows, and instant failover if something should go wrong — so access to your files is always fast, efficient and uninterrupted.

NETWORK-OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE FOR CUSTOMIZABLE PACKET PRIORITIZATION

Turbo LAN with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology allows you to configure application priority via an intuitive interface, and reduces network lag – by up to 1.45X!

MILITARY-GRADE LAN PROTECTION

TUF LANGuard, a military-grade innovation that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput — protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static electricity.

ADVANCED AUDIO FOR IMMERSIVE GAMING AND MEDIA

TUF X299 Mark 2 utilizes a unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek — the Realtek S1220A. It also features an unprecedented 120dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line-out and a 113dB SNR for the line-in, providing pristine audio quality. Additionally, a new impedance-sensing circuit automatically adjusts gain to ensure the optimal volume range for your headphones.
