  • Page 11 ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V) Correctly orient the ATX power supply plugs into these connectors and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit. • For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum power of 350 W. This PSU type has 24-pin and 8-pin power plugs. • We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when configuring a system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install additional devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate. • If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system, refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator at http://support. asus.com.cn/PowerSupply.aspx?SLanguage=en for details. Intel LGA1151 CPU socket ® Install Intel LGA1151 CPU into this surface mount LGA1151 socket, which is ® designed for 8th Generation Intel Core™ i7 / i5 / i3, Pentium and Celeron ® ® ® processors. For more details, refer to Central Processing Unit (CPU).
  • Page 12 To erase the RTC RAM: Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord. Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the two pins. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. PIN 1 Hold 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.

    Central Processing Unit (CPU) This motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket designed for the 8th Generation Intel Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3, ® Pentium and Celeron processors. ® ® Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU. • Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for the LGA1151 socket only. DO NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1150, LGA1155 and LGA1156 sockets on the LGA1151 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 LGA1151 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 TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING/BR...

    DIMM_A2* Channel A DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2* DIMM_B1 Channel B DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2* DIMM_B2* • You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation. • 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. • DDR4 2666MHz and higher memory modules will run at max. 2666MHz on Intel 8th ® Generation 6-core or higher processors. • Memory modules with memory frequency higher than 2133/2400/2666 MHz and its corresponding timing or the loaded X.M.P. Profile is not the JEDEC memory standard. The stability and compatibility of these memory modules depend on the CPU’s capabilities and other installed devices. • 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) Chapter 1: Product introduction...
