ASUS Prime X370-PRO, AMD X370 motherboard socket AM4 [90MB0TD0-M0EAY0]

The ASUS Prime X370-PRO is a motherboard in ATX format and has graphics cards with two fast PCI Express 3.0 slots, one of which is connected to full 16 lanes and the other to eight lanes. There is also a PCIe 2.0 slot with x4 connection as well as three PCIe 2.0 x1 slots for other expansion cards. Up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM take up the four RAM banks, with corresponding memory running at a maximum of 2.666 megahertz. The internal connection repertoire includes a header for USB 3.0 and two headers for USB 2.0 for two and four port, respectively. A USB 3.1 header for an additional USB 3.1 port is also included with the game.

Such as SSDs and hard drives, the board manages over eight SATA 6G connectors (including RAID support) as well as a horizontal M.2 slot with four PCI Express 3.0 lanes and four PCI Express 2.0 lanes Is connected and can thus reach enormously high speeds of up 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 X370-PRO is that a USB 3.0 port with a Type C female connector and two USB 3.1 connectors with a Type A female connector on the I / O panel on the back of the motherboard, Socket. The new USB type C port is especially thin and can be inserted at both ends. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port. A special feature is the integrated ASUS "Aura" RGB LED lighting, which allows for individualized lighting effects in all colors of the rainbow and can be easily controlled.

Finally, four fans with a 4-pin PWM connector and two pumps for water cooling can be connected directly to the board. On the mainboard back, additional devices and components can be connected to the ASUS Prime X370-PRO via USB 3.1, 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, universal PS / 2 or five audio jacks for 7.1 sound via the I / O shield connect. In addition, two monitor outputs are available for display using an integrated APU graphics unit (optional): HDMI and DisplayPort.
