ASUS Prime series is expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of
10th Gen IntelCore
processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and
intelligent tuning options, Prime B460 series motherboards provide daily users
and DIY PC builders a range of performance tuning options via included software
and hardware.
Tune It Your Way
Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. The
Prime B460 motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system,
enabling you to tweak performance settings to perfectly match the way you work
maximizing your productivity.
EPU
All-Around Energy Efficiency
The Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically optimizes power consumption
and maximizes energy savings with Away mode a smart setting that creates an
extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers.
Flexible cooling Controls
PRIME 400 Series motherboards offer comprehensive control over system fans,
via the included Fan Expert 2+ software. Auto-Tuning mode intelligently
configures all parameters with a single click
Precise Digital Power Control
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over
voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.
It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and
performance.
UEFI BIOS
The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak
and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY
beginners, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned
veterans.
Advanced Tuning for Serious Tweakers
An intuitive Advanced mode offered via the UEFI lets you take complete
control. A built-in search feature makes it easy to find options, and various
Advanced functions let you intelligently make nuanced adjustments so you can
dial in performance just the way you want.
Search Function
Quickly and easily find the option or setting you need.
ASUS User Profile
Port configuration settings between different BIOS versions or share them
with friends.
FlexKey
Remap the reset button on the chassis to toggle Aura lighting, activate the
DirectKey to go straight to the UEFI BIOS, or reset the system.
Quick and Simple Setup
EZ mode displays vital settings and stats and also offers guided wizards,
drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings all
to help you get your rig up and running in no time.
Intuitive Graphical Fan Control
Fine-tune individual fan settings simply by dragging a curve with the
mouse.
EZ XMP
Improve DRAM performance with one click.
Cool to the Core
Prime B460 series is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array
of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense
workloads.
Cooler by Design
Prime B460 series features comprehensive cooling controls that are
configurable via Fan Xpert 2+ software or via the UEFI BIOS.
Multiple Temperature Sources
Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4
allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize
cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
Smart Protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and
overcurrent.
4-Pin PWM/DC Fan
Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Build on a Solid Foundation
Prime B460 series is built to handle the additional cores and increased
bandwidth of 10th Generation IntelCore
processors. A B460 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily
productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power,
intuitive cooling and flexible transfer options.
ASUS OptiMem
Revisions to the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel
processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem technology
carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias
and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.
ASUS OptiMem benefits:
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Improved memory frequency margin
Dual M.2 (up to 32 Gbps)
Dual M.2 slots support data-transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps via x4 PCI
Express 3.0 bandwidth, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or
application drives.
Little Things Make a Big Difference
Prime B460 series adds the nuanced details that improve every experience,
from exclusive codecs that provide pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB
lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a uniquely
personal look.
Outstanding Audio
Combined onboard features deliver elevated audio
Intelligent design and premium hardware create audio quality unlike anything
you've ever experienced.
Audio Shielding
Separates analog/digital signal domains, significantly reducing multi-lateral
interference.
Separate Layer for Left and Right Tracks
Ensures minimal crosstalk between audio paths.
Premium Japanese Capacitors
Premium parts provide an immersive sound signature, with exceptional
fidelity.
Armoury Crate
Armoury Crate is a new software utility designed to give you centralized
control of supported products. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate
allows you to easily customize RGB lighting and effects for every compatible
device in your arsenal. The software also provides control of settings for ASUS
products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate even features
dedicated product registration and highlight to help you stay in touch with the
ASUS community.
SafeSlot Core+
SafeSlot Core+ is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot fortified with a one-piece
stainless-steel brace that shields the slot to protect it from damage. The metal
cover is tightly secured to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is
firmly anchored to the PCB with strengthened solder points to provide a secure
foundation for heavyweight graphics cards.
Overvoltage Protection
World-class circuit-protecting power design
An exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect your
motherboard from damage caused by unexpected high-level voltages from unstable
or inferior power supplies.
DRAM Overcurrent Protection
Short-circuit damage prevention
Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This
extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of your system and
connected devices.
Stainless-Steel Back I/O
3X corrosion-resistance for greater durability
Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panels bonded with chromium
oxide have a lifespan that's three times longer than ordinary panels.
LANGuard
Pumped-up throughput 2.5X higher surge tolerance
ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level network protection feature that integrates
advanced signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted
capacitors to improve throughput and ensure a more reliable
connection.
