PRIME B840-PLUS WIFI features an 8+2+1 phase power design with discrete MOSFETs, ensuring efficient and stable power delivery for AMD processors plus steady performance for day-to-day use.
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.
The Power Saving function contains several settings to easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting and set the fan profile to a Power Saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.
The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. The PRIME B840-PLUS WIFI maximizes the potential of your DDR5 modules, from entry-level to extreme-speed kits.
For entry-level modules without EXPO™ support, ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) automatically detects memory chips and provides optimized profiles for enhanced performance.
For those looking to surpass stock DDR5 speeds, the PRIME B840-PLUS WIFI offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support and a wide array of UEFI settings for further performance tweaks.
PRIME B840-PLUS WIFI offers a total of three M.2 slots, including two that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, and one that supports PCIe 3.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
The PRIME B840-PLUS WIFI motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans. An Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
This motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity, including support for WiFi 6E, PCIe 4.0 slot and an arsenal of USB ports which includes Type-C® connections.
Built-in WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. With triple the bandwidth of the 2.4/5/6 GHz band, WiFi 6E delivers ultrafast wireless networking speeds with improved capacity and better performance in dense wireless environments.
Enable seamless screen sharing and control across PCs, tablets, and smartphones via wired or wireless connections, supporting multiple platforms.
The UEFI interface delivers easy-to-use configuration options for PC beginners, and advanced features for veterans.
Enable seamless screen sharing and control across PCs, tablets, and smartphones via wired or wireless connections, supporting multiple platforms.
Simplify driver management with automatic detection, one-click installation and update for smooth, efficient system performance.
Complete RGB lighting control for enthusiast systems, ensuring seamless synchronization with compatible hardware.
Three addressable Gen 2 headers detect LED counts on compatible RGB devices, automatically adjusting lighting effects accordingly.
When only the fastest will do, ASUS motherboards deliver. With faster dual-channel DDR5 memory support, AMD EXPO™ technology and PCIe® 4.0 support for both graphics and NVMe, you can play the most demanding games and deliver your biggest projects with the revolutionary performance of an ASUS motherboard and AMD Ryzen™ 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors.
