Cool to the Core

Prime H470 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.

Heatsinks

VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pads

The VRM heatsinks with underneath thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs for better cooling performance.

Cooler by Design

Prime H470 series features comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 software or via the UEFI BIOS.

• Multiple Temperature Sources
  Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
• AiO Pump Header
  A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.
• Smart Protection
  A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent.
• 4-Pin PWM/DC Fan
  Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

Build on a Solid Foundation

Prime H470 series is built to handle the additional cores and increased bandwidth of 10th Generation Intel^® Core™ processors. A H470 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

ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing memory traces and vias to the optimal PCB layer, and our T-Topology layout ensures time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements lead to more headroom for overclocking and improved stability, allowing memory speeds of DDR4-4400 and beyond with all slots populated.

Storage

Dual M.2 (up to 32 Gbps)
Dual M.2 slots support 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.

Connectivity

USB 3.2 Gen 2
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A & Type-C
Numerous USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a USB Type-A^® and a Type-C^® connectors with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity for compatible cases.

Intel Ethernet
Intel^® 1 Gb Ethernet
Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfer.

Lower CPU workload High TCP & UDP throughput

LANGuard
Pumped-Up Throughput. 2.5X-Higher Surge Tolerance.

ASUS LANGuard is a 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.

Little Things Make a Big Difference

Prime H470 series adds the nuanced details that improve every experience, from exclusive codecs that provide pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a uniquely personal look.
