SERVER-GRADE TESTSSystematically-tested stability

TUF motherboards use military-certified components and undergo punishing burn-in tests, with temperatures of up to 55°C for 48 hours and at humidity levels as high as 90%! Every TUF motherboard is also subjected to extreme environment measurements and thermal-shock testing. Our motherboards are also tested with over 1,000 devices and undergo more than 7,000 hours of strict validation. With many whole-build server-grade stability tests also thrown at every board, you know that your TUF can be trusted in all conditions.

TUF LANGuardExclusive military-grade LAN protection

Trooper B85's TUF LANGuard socket has advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput tested to military grade, TUF LANGuard is certified for tough duty to protect your motherboard from lightening strikes and static electricity!

TUF ESD Guards 22X Stronger ESD protection for extended component lifespan

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen suddenly, and its damaging effects are easily underestimated. TUF ESD Guards 2 technology raises the bar that are 2X higher than industry standards and exclusive pin-level on specific rear IO connectors* testing is 30% higher than previous TUF standard, ensuring electrostatic discharges are properly grounded from all onboard connectivity - and that means greater component longevity.

5 Years WarrantyGuaranteed reliability

Each and every TUF motherboard is built with components certified for military use and undergoes serious server-level burn-in tests. TUF is forged solid for your confidence, which is why every board is covered by a 5-year warranty.
