ASUS Prime series is expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of 10th Gen Intel^® Core™ processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, Asus Prime B460M-K Motherboard series motherboards provide daily users and DIY PC builders a range of performance tuning options via intuitive software and firmware features.

Tune It Your Way

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. The Asus Prime B460M-K Motherboard motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling you to tweak performance settings to perfectly match the way you work – maximizing your productivity.

Intelligent Control

All-Around Energy Efficiency
The Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes energy savings with Away mode — a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers.

Flexible Cooling Controls
PRIME 400 Series motherboards offer comprehensive control over system fans, via the included FAN Expert software. Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click.

Precise Digital Power Control
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Advanced Mode

Advanced Tuning for Serious Tweakers
An intuitive Advanced mode offered via the UEFI lets you take complete control. A built-in search feature makes it easy to find options, and various Advanced functions let you intelligently make nuanced adjustments so you can dial in performance just the way you want.

Search Function
Quickly and easily find the option or setting you to need.
ASUS User Profile
Port configuration settings between different BIOS versions or share them with friends.

EZ Mode

Quick and Simple Setup
EZ mode displays vital settings and stats and also offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and a one-click application of important settings all to help you get your rig up and running in no time.

Intuitive Graphical Fan Control
Fine-tune individual fan settings simply by dragging a curve with the mouse.

EZ XMP
Improve DRAM performance with one click.

Aura On/Off mode (Stealth)
Easily enable or disable Aura RGB lighting or every onboard LED, for a subdued aesthetic touch.

Cool to the Core

Prime B460 series is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

Cooler by Design

Prime B460 Series features comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert software or via the UEFI BIOS.

Build on a Solid Foundation

Prime B460 series is built to handle the additional cores and increased bandwidth of 10th Generation Intel^® Core™ processors. A B460 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.

Memory

ASUS OptiMem
Revisions to the motherboard’s trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

ASUS OptiMem benefits:

• Improved memory stability and compatibility
• Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
• Improved memory frequency margin

Storage

M.2 (up to 32 Gbps)
M.2 slot supports data-transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps via x4 PCI Express^® 3.0 bandwidth, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
* Actual transmission speeds will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

Little Things Make a Big Difference

Prime B460 series adds the nuanced details that improve every experience, from exclusive codecs that provide pristine audio quality to intuitive lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a uniquely personal look.

Audio

Outstanding Audio
Combined onboard features deliver elevated audio
Intelligent design and premium hardware create audio quality, unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.

Audio Shielding
Separates analogue/digital signal domains, significantly reducing multi-lateral interference.

Separate Layer for Left and Right Tracks
Ensures minimal crosstalk between audio paths.

Premium Japanese Capacitors
Premium parts provide an immersive sound signature, with exceptional fidelity.

Personalization

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 of settings for ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate even features dedicated product registration and highlight to help you stay in touch with the ASUS community.

DIY Friendly

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