ASUS EX-B460M-V5 DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS EX-B460M-V5 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel B460 chipset, designed for Intel LGA1200 socket processors including 10th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron series. The board measures 24.4 cm x 24.4 cm (mATX form factor) and supports processors with a TDP of up to 125 W, making it suited to a range of desktop builds from compact home systems to small business and iCafe deployments. Memory support spans two DIMM slots capable of holding up to 64 GB of non-ECC, unbuffered DDR4 RAM at speeds of 2133, 2400, 2666, 2800, or 2933 MHz, with Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) compatibility for those using validated kits. Display output is handled through integrated graphics via a rear HDMI 1.4b port (supporting up to 4096 x 2160 at 30 Hz) and a D-Sub port (up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz), giving users a choice of display connections without a discrete GPU. Storage connectivity includes four SATA 6 Gb/s ports and one M.2 Socket 3 (M Key, supporting 2242/2260/2280 form factors in both SATA and PCIe x4 modes). Expansion slots comprise one PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 slot (from the 10th Gen CPU) and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots (from the B460 chipset). USB connectivity covers six rear ports (four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A at up to 5 Gbps, two USB 2.0) and six front-panel headers (two USB 3.2 Gen 1, four USB 2.0). Networking is provided by a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller protected by ASUS LANGuard hardware-level surge and EMI shielding. Audio is delivered via a Realtek ALC887 7.1-channel High Definition Audio CODEC with dedicated PCB audio layers separating left and right channels to reduce crosstalk, plus Japanese audio capacitors for signal clarity. Durability features under the ASUS 5X Protection III umbrella include: an anti-moisture luminous coating visible under UV light; USBGuard with 120% higher overvoltage tolerance than standard; SafeSlot Core+ — a one-piece stainless-steel reinforced PCIe x16 slot; a stainless-steel back I/O shield; and DIGI+ VRM power delivery components. BIOS is a 128 Mb Flash ROM with UEFI AMI interface. Manageability features include Wake- LAN via PME and PXE boot support. The board ships with a user manual, I/O shield, two SATA 6 Gb/s cables, one M.2 screw package, and one support DVD. Warranty is three years.
