audio. When you build with an ASUS Prime 300 Series motherboard, you build smart,
easy and affordably.
Improved DDR4 stability
ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing
traces and vias to the optimal PCB layer, and our T-Topology trace layout
ensures time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots.
These enhancements allow the Prime 300 Series to support a wide range of dual
and quad-DIMM memory kits, while providing your rig with the stability it needs
to deal with any type of workload - whether you're gaming or running intensive
applications
Cooler by design
Prime 300 Series features the most comprehensive cooling
controls ever, configurable via ASUS Fan Xpert software or the UEFI BIOS.
Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS
The UEFI BIOS is an early waypoint on any PC-building
journey, and Prime 300 Series has one of the best in the business.
USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A
Ultimate-speed 10Gbps with USB 3.1 Gen 2 onboard
With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-Aâ„¢, you'll
