Series motherboard, you build smart, easy and affordably.
Cooler by design
Prime B450 Series features the most comprehensive cooling controls
ever, configurable via ASUS Fan Xpert software or the UEFI
BIOS.
Each header can be set to monitor and react to up to three thermal
sensors. Via Fan Xpert, you can also assign a sensor to monitor the
temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to ensure optimal
cooling during GPU- or CPU-intensive workloads.
Each onboard CHA FAN header supports PWM and DC mode.
Make your memory faster
Featuring an array of trace layout tweaks that improve memory
stability, PRIME B450 Series provides a potent foundation for your
build. With comprehensive support for the full gamut of Ryzen
memory configurations – from entry-level to performance-oriented —
PRIME B450 Series is a versatile all-rounder that can work or
play.
Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS
The UEFI BIOS is an early waypoint on any PC-building journey, and
Prime B450 Series has one of the best in the business.
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.

Ultimate-speed 10Gbps with USB 3.1 Gen 2 onboard
With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A™, you'll experience
ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of
up to 10Gbps — twice as fast as standard USB 3.1 Gen 1.
USB 3.1 Gen 1 front-panel connector
Future-proof connectivity
USB 3.1 Gen 1 is right where you need it, with two super-speed
headers for the front panel. Experience data-transfer speeds up to
10X faster than USB 2.0 with instant plug-and-play connectivity,
and avoid back-breaking contortions in the hunt for hard-to-reach
rear ports.
M.2
Speed up with onboard M.2
With x4 PCI Express® 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps
data-transfer speeds. It's the perfect choice for an operating
system or application drive, providing fast access to data.
AMD StoreMI
Affordable acceleration for any hard drive
AMD StoreMI technology is a software utility that accelerates any
drive for better system responsiveness with reduced startup and
software load times. It combines SSD performance with the
affordability and capacity of an HDD by automatically moving
frequently accessed data to dedicated SSD storage.
Native M.2/NVMe PCIe RAID Support for Lightning Fast Storage
Speed!
Not satisfied with single-storage device read/write speeds? Then
join the fast lane and build a RAID 0 array using two PCIe storage
drives to enjoy data transfers at lightning speeds.
Built to Last
ASUS is the world's leading motherboard brand. Our motherboards are
extensively tested for compatibility with more than 1,000
components and devices, and each new model undergoes a minimum of
8,000 hours of strict validation — offering the peace of mind of
knowing that your ASUS motherboard is fit for all environments and
applications. Choosing ASUS is an assurance of trouble-free DIY
experiences.
Prime B450 Series motherboards are engineered with industry-leading
5X Protection III, employing the finest components, excellent
circuit design and exacting standards to guarantee the quality and
long-term durability of your investment. That means exceptional
protection and stability for your build — thanks to decades of
engineering experience from the world's leading motherboard
brand.
SafeSlot Core
Fortified PCIe slot prevents damage
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.
Our Prime B450 Series motherboards also have strengthened solder
points around both the PCIe and DIMM pins.
LANGuard
Pumped-up throughput, 2.5X-higher surge tolerance
ASUS LANGuard is hardware-level networking protection that employs
signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted
capacitors to ensure a more reliable connection and better
throughput.
Overvoltage Protection
World-class circuit-protecting power design
An exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators
protects your motherboard from damage caused by unexpected
high-level voltages from unstable or inferior power supplies.
DIGI+ VRM
Precision control for stable power
ASUS-exclusive DIGI+ VRM intelligently delivers power to the
processor based on real-time demands, reducing energy waste and
improving system stability.
DRAM Overcurrent Protection
Short-circuit damage prevention
Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit
damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM ― so it provides a
safeguard to protect the lifespan of your system and connected
devices.
Stainless-steel back I/O panel
3X corrosion-resistance for greater durability
Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panels bonded with
chromium oxide assure a lifespan that's 3X longer than ordinary
panels.
ESD Guards
Electrostatic discharge protection
ASUS ESD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing
damage from electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to
+/- 10kV of air discharge and +/- 6kV of contact discharge.
