Prime X370-A Socket AM4 Motherboard

ATX motherboard has four DIMM slots that can each support a DDR4 memory module up to 16GB in capacity, allowing the system to hold a total of 64GB. For storage drives, the motherboard is equipped with six SATA III connections as well as an M.2 slot for accommodating SATA or PCIe-based SSDs. Installing an AMD Ryzen processor allows the motherboard to support RAM speeds of up to 2666 MHz and offer four PCIe 3.0 lanes for the M.2 slot, while an A-Series or Athlon processor makes it compatible with 2400 and 2133 MHz memory speeds and provides two PCIe 3.0 lanes for M.2 SSDs.With a 7th-generation A-series APU installed, the motherboard can deliver up to 4K visuals through its HDMI, DVI-D, and VGA ports. Other notable ports include a PS/2 combo port and Gigabit Ethernet port along with two USB 2.0, two USB 3.1, and four USB 3.0 ports. There\'s also a set of three audio jacks, powered by a Realtek ALC887-VD2 audio processor, for your speakers and headsets. To expand the system\'s capabilities, the motherboard supports AMD CrossFireX technology and offers one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, so you can build a dual graphics card system. Additionally, two PCIe 2.0 x 1 and two PCI slots are available for NICs, port expansion cards, and other types of PCI cards.AMD X370 ChipsetThe AMD X370 chipset delivers overclocking capabilities for AMD AM4-socket Ryzen processors, 7th Generation A-series APUs, and Athlon CPUs. It provides two 10 Gbps USB 3.1 ports and six 6 Gbps SATA ports.AMD AM4-socket Ryzen, 7th Generation A-series APUs, and Athlon APUsThis motherboard supports AMD Ryzen processors, 7th Generation A-series accelerated processing units (APUs), and Athlon CPUs. The Ryzen processor supports up to eight cores and is based on Zen core architecture. The 7th-Generation A-series APUs feature integrated AMD Radeon R-series graphics. AMD AM4-socket processors feature dual-channel DDR4 memory, native 5 Gbps USB 3.0, and 16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 lanes.ASUS SafeSlotSafeSlot provides retention and shearing resistance for your heavy graphics cards. It is manufactured in a single step by using an insert-molding process, which integrates the slot with a fortifying metal support for a stronger design. SafeSlot is then firmly anchored to the motherboard through additional solder points.5X ProtectionPRIME X370 series motherboards are engineered with a SafeSlot core, surge protection, overvoltage protection, stable power, and stainless-steel I/O cover.SafeSlot CoreSafeSlot Core is built into the PCIe slot and offers a fortified design that\'s anchored to the motherboard by a special hook. SafeSlot Core provides 1.6x stronger retention and 1.3x greater shearing resistance than standard expansion slots.LANGuardASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level networking protection that employs signal-coupling technology and anti-EMI, surface-mounted capacitors to ensure a reliable connection and provide more throughputs. It also features electrostatically guarded and surge-protected components for tolerance to static electricity and improved protection against surges.Overvoltage ProtectionA circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect your chipset, connectivity ports, and audio codecs from damage caused by unexpected high-level voltages from unstable or inferior power supplies.Stable PowerDIGI+ VRM intelligently delivers power to the processor based on real-time demands, reducing energy waste and improving system stability.Short-Circuit Damage PreventionOnboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This protection extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM for safeguarding the lifespan of your system and connected devices.Stainless-Steel Back I/OCorrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panels bonded with chromium oxide have a lifespan that\'s three times longer than ordinary panels.Electrostatic Discharge ProtectionASUS ESD Guards prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, up to +/- 10kV for air discharge and +/- 6kV for contact discharge. The guards are arranged in an active-protective-circuit design that prolongs the life of components.Fan Xpert 2+With onboard thermal sensors and hardware-level 4-pin/3-pin PWM/DC mode detection, Fan Xpert 2+ makes sure every fan achieves a balance of cooling performance and low noise. It offers Auto-Tuning and RPM Fixed modesBrighten Up Your BuildWith a built-in RGB fan header, you can personalize a lighting scheme with an optional AMD RGB fan.Gaming AudioThis motherboard comes with audio shielding for noise isolation, dedicated audio PCB layers for the left and right audio tracks, and audio capacitors for warm, natural, and immersive sound.Energy Efficient DesignWith the Energy Processing Unit (EPU), you\'ll enjoy system power savings. EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode.
