Intel® LGA 1700 socket: Ready for 12th and 13th Gen Intel® processors:
As a "jack-of-all-trades" motherboard, the PRIME board can handle a wide range of tasks with little fuss. This makes it perfect for business users and gamers who want an upgrade or a solid base for their next build.
With up to 128GB of memory and four DDR4 Dual-Channel RAM slots, you can do more at once and create more complex photos and videos.
There are four SATA III storage interfaces and three M.2 storage interfaces. This lets you create a large library of storage drives for your games or creative projects.
A single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot supports resource-intensive graphics cards, while three PCIe 4.0 x16 (in x4 mode) and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot support a variety of utility cards.
A variety of USB 2.0, 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 2x2 back panel ports and internal headers support a wide range of peripherals, from low-power devices like mice, keyboards, and controllers to resource-demanding devices like external drives and storage arrays.
Connect to your wireless network using Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), or the built-in 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port if you prefer a wired connection.
The PRIME delivers stable power throughout the entire motherboard, maintaining electrical volume whether you are performing simple tasks or operating at full power during resource-demanding processes.
It is equipped with a 14+1 DrMOS, ProCool sockets, alloy chokes, and durable capacitors.
To keep your system cool under heavy loads, the PRIME motherboard includes a large VRM heatsink for capacitors and chokes, as well as integrated M.2 heatsinks and backplates for improved thermal performance and throttling prevention.
Fans and liquid cooling elements are controlled by hybrid fan headers and Fan Xpert 4 software for better cooling that can be customized.
The PRIME provides reliable connectivity for your peripherals via the backplate and internal headers.
USB-A and USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports provide data transfer speeds of up to 5 and 10 GB/s, respectively, making them suitable for webcams, microphones, and external storage drives.
The USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port supports data transfer rates of up to 20 GB/s for resource-intensive devices such as storage arrays and audio interfaces.
With an internal Thunderbolt 4 header, you can expand your connectivity and use high-speed connectivity that supports fast transfer speeds and Power Delivery technologies.
Larger graphics cards can be supported by the integrated PCIe 5.0 Safeslot, which reinforces the PCIe x16 slot with an aluminum shield and additional solder points for better retention.
The Q-LED Code System makes system troubleshooting easier by showing different patterns of lights that show which part of the system is having trouble booting.
