  • Page 13 The USB 2.0 headers allow you to connect a USB module for additional USB 2.0 ports. The USB 2.0 headers provide data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mb/s connection speed. DO NOT connect a 1394 cable to the USB connectors. Doing so will damage the motherboard! PIN 1 The USB 2.0 module is purchased separately. 10. RGB header The RGB header allows you to connect RGB LED strips. The RGB header supports 5050 RGB multi-color LED strips (12V/G/R/B), with a maximum power rating of 3A (12V), and no longer than 3 m. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components. 11. Clear CMOS header This header allows you to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data of the system CLRTC setup information such as date, time, and system passwords. To erase the RTC RAM: 1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord. PIN 1 2. Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the two pins. ASUS PRIME B460-PLUS...
  • Page 14 3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. 4. H old down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re- enter data. If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and short the two pins again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery. 12. COM Port header This header is for a serial (COM) port. Connect the serial port module cable to this header, then install the module to a slot opening at the back of the system chassis. PIN 1 13. Front panel audio header This header is for a chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module that supports HD audio standard. Connect one end of the front panel audio I/O module cable to this header. • We recommend that you connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this header to avail of the motherboard’s high- definition audio capability. AAFP • If you want to connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this header, set the Front Panel Type item in the BIOS setup to [HD Audio]. By default, this header is set to [HD Audio].

    Gen Intel Core™, Pentium Gold and Celeron ® ® ® Processors. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU. • Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for the LGA1200 socket only. DO NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155 and LGA1156 sockets on the LGA1200 socket. • Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. • Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1200 socket. • The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap. Installing the CPU Apply the Thermal Interface Material to the CPU heatsink and CPU before you install the heatsink and fan if necessary. ASUS PRIME B460-PLUS...

  • Page 18: System Memory

    • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules. • For 10 Gen Intel processors, only Core™ i9/i7 CPUs support ® 2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 natively, others will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2666MHz. • The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value. • For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full memory load (4 DIMMs). • Refer to www.asus.com for the latest Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors List).
