AM4 CPU Socket
Micro ATX Form Factor
Enhanced UEFI BIOS
EASILY FIND YOUR WAY WITH EZ AND ADVANCED MODES
The UEFI BIOS is an early waypoint on any PC-building journey, and Prime B450M II Series has one of the best in the business. The EZ mode makes it incredible easy to overclock a CPU to improve performance or even configure a RAID array for faster data retrieval and backups. Whether you're a PC novice or a seasoned overclocker, EZ and Advanced modes will help you quickly find your way, quickly and easily.
Q-FAN CONTROL
Can configure the fan's operating speed manually, or use the easy pre-configured fan profiles to select Standard, Silent, Turbo or Full Speed modes, plus automatic switch to full speed if the temperature hits 75°C.
SEARCH FUNCTION
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.
Cooler by Design
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.
Speed Up With Onboard M.2
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 drives up to 80mm 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.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A Ports
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.
One-stop Efficient Controls
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.
ASUS SafeSlot Protection
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.
Exceptional Audio
COMBINED FEATURES DELIVER ELEVATED AUDIO
ASUS intelligent design combined with the finest hardware produce audio quality unlike anything you have ever experienced. With Audio Shielding, this separates layers for left and right tracks and analogue/digital signal domains, significantly decreasing multi-lateral interference. Exceptional components and Japanese-made audio capacitors, deliver an immersive sound signature with excellent fidelity.
