ASUS Prime H470 Plus DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS Prime H470 Plus is an ATX form factor motherboard built around the Intel H470 chipset and LGA 1200 socket, designed to support 10th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors using Intel's 14 nm process. The board measures 12 x 9.2 inches (30.5 x 23.4 cm) and fits standard ATX mid-tower and full-tower chassis. Memory support spans four DIMM slots accommodating up to 128 GB of DDR4 non-ECC unbuffered RAM across speeds of 2133, 2400, 2666, 2800, and 2933 MHz in dual-channel configuration. Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) and ASUS OptiMem trace routing are supported for optimised signal integrity. Storage connectivity is handled through two M.2 Socket 3 slots and six SATA 6 Gb/s ports. The primary M.2 slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 mode for drives up to 22110 mm in length, while the secondary slot supports both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x2 modes for 2242 to 2280 mm drives. RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations are available via Intel Rapid Storage Technology, and the board is Intel Optane Memory ready. Expansion slots include one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot running at full x16 bandwidth from the CPU, one chipset-connected PCIe 3.0 x16 slot operating at x4 electrical, and four PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. AMD 2-Way CrossFireX multi-GPU configurations are supported. The rear I/O panel provides a PS/2 combo port, DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4096 x 2304 at 60 Hz), HDMI 1.4b, a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (one Type-A, one Type-C), two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, four USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and three audio jacks. Front panel headers add four USB 3.2 Gen 1 and three USB 2.0 ports. A Thunderbolt header is present for add-in card expansion. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC887 8-channel HD Audio codec with audio shielding, dedicated PCB layers, and Japanese-made audio capacitors supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz playback. Onboard RGB lighting is controlled through Aura Sync, with one standard RGB header and one Addressable Gen 2 header. Thermal management includes a VRM heatsink with thermal pad, an aluminium M.2 heatsink with captive screws, one CPU fan header, three chassis fan headers, and one AIO pump header. The board carries ASUS 5X Protection III features including DIGI+ VRM digital power control, LANGuard, overvoltage protection, SafeSlot Core reinforced PCIe slot, and a stainless-steel rear I/O shield.
