ASUS Prime B350-PLUS, AMD B350 motherboard socket AM4 [90MB0TG0-M0EAY0]

The ASUS Prime B350-PLUS is a motherboard in ATX format and has graphics cards with a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection. There is also a PCIe 2.0 slot with x4 connection as well as two PCIe x1 and two classic PCI slots for other expansion cards. Up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory take up the four RAM banks, whereby corresponding memory can run at a maximum of 2.666 overclocked Megahertz. The internal connection repertoire includes a header for USB 3.0 and two for USB 2.0 for two or four ports, respectively.

Special features at a glance:

1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end GPUs / 1x PCI 2.0 x4 / 2x PCIe 2.0 x1 / 2x PCI
2x USB 3.1 / 6x USB 3.0 / 4x USB 2.0 / 1x M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 / 6x SATA 6G
3x PWM fan ports (4-pin)
DDR4 memory up to 2.666 MHz
Modern UEFI BIOS including temperature monitoring

Data storage media such as SSDs and hard disks, the board manages over six SATA 6G connectors (including RAID support) as well as a horizontal M.2 slot, which is connected with four PCI Express 3.0 lanes and thus enormously high speeds from to To 32 Gbit / s. M.2 SSDs of 42 to 110 mm in length can be used, as well as the advanced NVM Express protocol, which has been specially optimized for highly parallelized data carrier accesses to modern PCIe SSDs.

A small highlight on the ASUS Prime B350-PLUS is that there are two USB 3.1 ports on the I / O panel on the back of the mainboard. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port.

Finally, three fans with a 4-pin PWM connector can be connected directly to the board. On the mainboard rear panel, additional devices and components can be connected to the ASUS Prime B350-PLUS via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, universal PS / 2 or three audio jacks for 7.1 sound. In addition, there are three monitor outputs (HDMI, VGA and DVI-D) for the image display via an integrated APU graphics unit (optional).
