ASUS TUF Gaming B460 Plus DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS TUF Gaming B460 Plus is an ATX form factor motherboard built on the Intel B460 chipset with an LGA 1200 socket, designed to support 10th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors. Its robust power delivery system features a 6+1+1 power stage configuration, certified military-grade TUF chokes and capacitors, and ASUS Digi+ VRM digital power control — all working together to deliver stable, consistent power to the CPU under sustained gaming workloads. Memory support spans four DIMM slots accommodating up to 128GB of DDR4 RAM at speeds from 2133 MHz up to 2933 MHz (non-ECC, unbuffered), with dual-channel architecture and Intel XMP profile support. Storage options are generous: two M.2 slots (both M-key, PCIe 3.0 x4; one also supporting SATA mode) and six SATA 6Gb/s ports, with RAID 0/1/5/10 support via Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Note that M.2_1 shares bandwidth with SATA6G_1 — when M.2_1 operates in SATA mode, SATA6G_1 is disabled. Networking is handled by an Intel I219-V 1Gb Ethernet controller, complemented by ASUS TUF LANGuard surge protection and TurboLAN traffic-shaping software. Audio is delivered through a Realtek ALC S1200A 8-channel HD codec capable of 24-bit/192kHz playback, with a 108 dB SNR for stereo line out and 103 dB SNR for line in, plus dedicated audio PCB shielding and premium Japanese audio capacitors. Display outputs include one DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4096x2304 @ 60Hz) and one HDMI 1.4b via the integrated graphics processor. Rear I/O provides six USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one PS/2 combo port, one RJ45 LAN port, and six audio jacks. Front-panel connectivity adds two USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers and four USB 2.0 headers. ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting with two onboard standard RGB strip headers lets you coordinate lighting across compatible peripherals via Armoury Crate software. Thermal management includes VRM and PCH heatsinks, hybrid fan headers, an AIO pump header, and Fan Xpert 4 control.
