Extra-Smart Board Layout Outperforms the Form Factor

TUF Z87motherboard gives youFORTIFIED STABILITYTUF /t f/, stands for The Ultimate Force.

The TUF series delivers a "tough" image, with the unique design & high quality components (military-standard).

Besides ATX SABERTOOTH Z87 with tactical armor and fortified reliability, TUF also introduces mATX solution –

GRYPHON Z87. It’s micro size but server-grade tested. For who wants a board that lasts long and unleashes your personal

creative force, don't hesitate, join TUF now!

1. TUF FortifierBolsters boards against bending damageAdds a strong backplate so the board doesn't

buckle under the weight of heavy components.

Reduced PCB bowing and bending prevents

damaged circuitry. Plus it fits perfectly on

PCB convection holes and includes a heatsink

thermal pad, High-Quality 5K-Hour Solid State Capacitors2.5X longer lifespan with excellent durabilityASUS 5,000-hour solid state capacitors last 2.5 times longer than traditional capacitors. They pass strict testing and meet the highest standards to enhance durability and thermal capacity.

Stainless Steel Back I/O3X more durable corrosion-resistant coatingASUS uses strong and corrosion-resistant stainless steel to make I/O panels, which pass 72-hour salt spray endurance tests and have a usage life three times longer compared to ordinary panels.

2. Thermal Armorwith Flow ValveTotal airflow-boostingheat dissipationCovers the entire board and features dual fans

to direct cool air to critical parts and dissipate

heat faster for better stability. Exclusive flow

valve design controls heatpipe air contact,

better-utilizing liquid cooling setups.

3. GRYPHON ARMOR KITGear up your TUFArmor Kit upgrades your GRYPHON with

Thermal Armor - for greater cooling and

modding freedom, Dust Defenders - for

extended longevity and stability, and TUF

Fortifier - for endurance and reliability. So get

started on your own TUF build now!

Enhanced DRAMOvercurrent ProtectionShort-circuit damage preventionOnboard reset tab le fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard system and device lifespan.

ESD GuardsStrong ESD protection for extended component lifespanOffer active protection to ensure that electrostatic discharges are properly grounded to keep components safe, providing prolonged component longevity.

DIGI+ VRMPrecise power control and long-lasting stabilityQuality voltage regulator modules (VRMs) deliver precise CPU power on demand. ASUS was first with a digital power design, featuring faster sensing and response, which improves system stability thanks to more consistent power delivery.
