When you’re ready for a deeper dive, Advanced mode enables full control over every aspect of the motherboard — with a built-in Search function to find the setting you need in the blink of an eye.

RESPONSIVE SURFACE CALIBRATION

Prime B450M-A II is engineered with great comprehensive cooling controls, configurable via ASUS Fan Xpert software or the UEFI BIOS. Each header can monitor and react to dedicated thermal sensors. Each onboard CHA FAN header supports PWM and DC mode. A dedicated integrated circuit protects the fan headers, including short circuit and over temperature protections. A VRM heatsink with underneath thermal pad improves heat transfer from the MOSFETs for better cooling performance.

Ultrafast M.2 Connectivity

Prime B450M II 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. The onboard M.2 Slot supports up to 22110 and data-transfer speed up to 32Gbps via x4 PCI Express® 3.0 bandwidth. It‘s the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast access to data.

Update with BIOS FlashBack™

Numerous USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including two rear-panel USB Type-A connectors with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity for compatible cases. Simply drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack™ port and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.

BRIGHTEN YOUR BUILD

A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for RGB LED strips connected to the onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

VERSATILE ENERGY PRODUCTIVITY

The Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically amplifies power consumption and maximises savings with Away mode. The smart setting that produces an extreme energy-saving setup by shutting down unused I/O controllers, with the EPU you will appreciate system-wide power reserves.

Protect your graphics card investment

SafeSlot Core is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot. Featuring a fortified design that’s anchored to the motherboard by a special hook, SafeSlot Core provides 1.6x stronger retention and 1.3x greater shearing resistance than standard expansion slots.
