Features:

Intel H370 chipset

The Intel H370 is a single-chipset design that supports 8th Generation Intel Core LGA1151 processors. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability. Additionally, the H370 chipset provides a maximum of four USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, four USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, six SATA 6Gbps ports, and 32Gbps M.2 and PCIe 3.0 lane-speed support, for faster data retrieval. Intel H370 also supports integrated graphics, so you’ll enjoy the very latest in graphics performance.

Flexible cooling controls

Prime 300 Series motherboards offer comprehensive control over system fans via the included fan expert 2+ software. ASUS’s Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click.

Ultrafast M.2 connectivity

With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps data-transfer speeds. It’s the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast access to data.

Intel Optane memory ready

Intel Optane is a revolutionary non-volatile memory technology supported by Prime 300 Series motherboards. Intel Optane memory modules accelerate attached storage to reduce boot and load times, so everything feels faster and more responsive.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A

With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A, you’ll experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps — twice as fast as standard USB 3.1 Gen 1.

Improved DDR4 stability

ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing traces to the optimal PCB layer, and ASUS’ T-Topology trace layout ensures time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements allow the Prime 300 Series to support a wide range of dual and quad-DIMM memory kits while providing your rig with the stability it needs to deal with any type of workload whether you’re gaming or running intensive applications

Intel Ethernet

Prime 300 Series features the very latest Intel Ethernet. Intel’s LAN has the advantage of reducing CPU overhead and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfer.
