The last word:
Let’s cut to the chase: we’ve fallen head over heels for this new series. If we had to build a PC today on a tight budget, we’d definitely go for this BTF and ASUS Prime A21 combo. Now that we know the motherboard exists in a DDR5 version, we’d go for this model instead, choosing the TUF Gaming B760M-BTF WiFi (DDR5), which is even more aesthetically pleasing. We imagine this motherboard in DDR5, with an i5-13500 processor or even an Intel T model, a 32 GB DDR5 kit and an AMD RX 7600, all in this ASUS Prime A21 case. Thanks to its HDMI and DisplayPort ports, you can even dispense with the graphics card in the first instance.
Is the BTF series a revolution?
For us, yes, in any case, it brings its share of advantages and, above all, makes cable management much simpler to set up. We believe that ASUS should continue in this direction, not only with other models, but also with other cases. Indeed, the current drawback is the only compatibility with the Prime A21 case. In the future, these BTF models could become a series in their own right, like the TUF, STRIX or ROG. We know that ASUS is also working on a PCIe connector capable of directly powering the graphics card without the need to use traditional power connectors. We’re curious to see what this could lead to, especially as the cards demand more and more juice.
The Prime A21 case is also perfectly designed and accommodates this TUF Gaming B760M-BTF WiFi D4 without a hitch. Priced at 89.95 euros, it’s a perfectly reasonable budget as the basis for your next configuration!
The TUF Gaming B760M-BTF WiFi D4:
We liked:
- The presence of rear connectors
- Perfect compatibility with the Prime A21 case
- Sufficient power stage for our i5-13600KF
- The possibility of using your DDR4 memory kit again
- A comprehensive BIOS
- Comprehensive connectivity for this price
- A very affordable price for this new series
- Availability of the same model in DDR5
We would have liked :
- The possibility of placing it on a bench, but that’s logical ^^
- “We’d like to see other models and other cases come out
We really fell in love with this BTF model. We believe this series has a real future, and we’re curious to see how ASUS will develop it over the coming months. As we pointed out, if we had to design a configuration on a tight budget today, we’d have no trouble imagining ourselves turning to this TUF Gaming B760M-BTF WiFi D4.
Thanks to ASUS France for the loan of the components used for this test.
