Merry Christmas!
My Christmas gift, yes~
In the blink of an eye, it's already the end of 2020. This year, hardware manufacturers have made continuous efforts. On the one hand, Intel has launched the cost-effective war by releasing Intel's 10th generation desktop processors with increased performance and unchanged prices. On the other hand, NVIDIA's RTX 3070 has surpassed its previous generation consumer flagship graphics card. It can be said that it's quite lively. To fully unleash the potential of these high-performance hardware, an excellent motherboard is essential.
ASUS TUF GAMING motherboard
is widely welcomed for its solid materials, stylish design, and affordable price. The newly released Heavy Artillery series, positioned in the mid-range market, has stronger power supply configuration, 2.5G Ethernet, enhanced armor, and other new features inherited from flagship products, but the price is the same as other mid-range products. This series is naturally popular among DIY enthusiasts.

The Heavy Artillery series inherits the tough style of the TUF GAMING series, with black and green as the main colors and a touch of yellow in the logo. This is the consistent style of the TUF GAMING special forces, with high recognition.
The appearance of the motherboard reveals a strong e-sports atmosphere, with the large TUF GAMING logo printed on the huge heat sink armor.
It uses the new LAG1200 interface, which is not compatible with processors before the 10th generation, but it seems to support the 11th generation in the future.
In terms of memory slots, the ASUS TUF GAMING B460M-PRO Heavy Artillery motherboard provides 4 DDR4 memory slots with a frequency of up to 2933MHz. It is equipped with ASUS's exclusive OptiMem memory optimization technology, which can significantly improve memory overclocking space and stability. It supports up to 128GB of memory. ASUS has marked the 1, 3, 2, and 4 positions of the memory slots with different colors, indicating the memory installation method when using two memory modules.
In the MATX form factor, the ASUS TUF GAMING B460M-PRO Heavy Artillery motherboard uses a large amount of sandblasted surface-treated heat sink armor for power supply and chipset, which generate a lot of heat. This design can quickly dissipate the heat from the motherboard and bring a strong sense of delicacy and design to the motherboard.
In terms of graphics card slots, this motherboard provides two PCIe slots. One of them is equipped with metal protection armor, which can prevent accidental damage caused by inserting and removing the graphics card. This slot operates in X16 mode and is recommended for single graphics card users.
Let's take a look at the I/O interface of the motherboard. The I/O shield of the ASUS TUF GAMING B460M-PRO Heavy Artillery motherboard is integrated on the motherboard, reducing the installation steps of the backplate during installation. At the same time, the motherboard has stronger integration. The design of the integrated I/O shield was previously only seen on high-end ASUS motherboards, but now it has been extended to B460 chipset motherboards. It avoids omissions during installation and also provides dust and electrostatic protection.
This motherboard provides two USB 2.0 ports, four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports, one HDMI port, one DP port, and also has a 2.5Gb Ethernet port and five regular audio ports.
There are 6 SATA ports, grouped in sets of three, and the second group of slots is arranged horizontally to avoid interference from long graphics cards.
Finally, in terms of audio, this motherboard uses the Realtek S1200A high-quality audio chip, which has a signal-to-noise ratio of 108dB for output and 103dB for input, making it one of the top-level sound card chips.

Take a quick look at the CPU because there's not much to say. I put it at the end. i5-10600KF Chinese version, national warranty for three years. Due to the "K" suffix, it can be seen from the side that this CPU does not come with a cooler and needs to be purchased separately.

I also paired it with the i5-10400... The i5-10600 is suitable for gaming, not for office work. [#aru_12]

@Red Beauty: I can handle both gaming and office work with the i5-10600. [#aru_14]
I forgot to turn off the watermark on Weibo, which resulted in a double watermark. It's embarrassing. [#aru_25]
