VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pads
A VRM heatsink with a thermal pad underneath improves heat transfer from the MOSFETs for better cooling performance.
System Cooling
The Prime B450M-A II is designed with a range of hybrid fan headers and features comprehensive cooling controls that can be configured via the Fan Xpert 2+ software or through the UEFI BIOS, ensuring your device stays cool and stable under heavy workloads.
- Each header can monitor and react to specific thermal sensors.
- A dedicated integrated circuit protects the fan headers, including protection against short circuits and overheating.
- Each integrated CHA FAN header supports PWM and DC mode.
Storage
PCIe 3.0 M.2 up to 32 Gbps
The M.2 slot supports up to 22110 and data transfer speeds of up to 32Gbps through x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth. It is the ideal choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast data access.
Connectivity
Numerous USB ports support high-spec equipment loaded with peripherals, including two USB Type-A ports on the rear side with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity for compatible cases.
Aura Sync
A well-tuned system deserves a corresponding aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full control of RGB lighting with a variety of functional presets for RGB LED strips connected to the integrated RGB headers. And all of this can be synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
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 over settings for ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate even features dedicated product registration and highlighting to help you stay in touch with the ASUS community.
BIOS FlashBack
BIOS FlashBack is the simplest and safest method of updating the BIOS (UEFI). Simply place the (UEFI) BIOS file on a FAT32-formatted USB stick, connect it to the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can be performed even without memory or a CPU installed.
SafeSlot Core
SafeSlot Core is ASUS's exclusive PCIe slot. Featuring a reinforced design that anchors to the motherboard with a special hook, SafeSlot Core provides 1.6 times stronger retention and 1.3 times greater shearing resistance than standard expansion slots.
