Asus TUF X299 Mark 2

The new Asus TUF X299 Mark 2 is a variant of the TUF X299 Mark 1, the biggest change is found in the absence of the reinforcement clamp for the expansion cards that is included in its older sister, despite this it retains most of the durability improvements so characteristic of the TUF series.

If we continue to see the characteristics of the Asus TUF X299 Mark 2 we find an 8-phase VRM system that is manufactured with high durability components such as chokes and MOSFETs of the best possible quality, this VRM is powered by using a 24-ATX connector pins next to an 8-pin EPS and a 6-pin PCIe. Surrounding the socket we find eight DDR4 DIMM slots with support for a maximum of 128 GB of memory in quad chanel and three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots to be able to mount a system with several graphics cards and excellent potential in video games.
