ASUS TUF Gaming B850 BTF WiFi (rear-connect)
A rear-connect (BTF) ATX B850 board for AM5 that hides cabling behind the tray — the standout motherboard in this batch. It delivers TUF-tier build quality for clean, cable-invisible builds when paired with a BTF-compatible case. That case requirement is the whole catch: standard cases lack the rear cutouts these connectors need, so confirm compatibility before buying.

Compatibility
Built around AMD AM5, ATX, DDR5. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →

Buying today, the MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi scores higher for less — the smarter pick in motherboards unless you specifically want this one. See it →
