ASUS Prime is the next evolution of the ASUS motherboard, born of a pedigree that stretches back to
1989. Our team of world-class engineers are passionate about empowering everyone to enjoy the benefits
of customization and tuning, and the driving force behind the development of Prime is to make advanced
enthusiast controls easily accessible maximizing performance, stability and compatibility for the very
best DIY PC experiences. Simply stated: it's time for Prime.
ASUS is the world's foremost motherboard manufacturer, renowned for our unique Design Thinking
approach. Our exhaustive testing exceeds industry standards, supported by high-quality components
for exceptional real-world protection. Our motherboards are proven to be compatible with more than 1,000
components and devices, and each new model undergoes a minimum of 8,000 hours of strict validation.
ASUS gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your motherboard is fit for all environments and applications.
By choosing ASUS, you also gain the freedom to select outstanding component options, for trouble-free DIY experiences.
Prime 200 motherboards are engineered with industry-leading 5X Protection III, employing the finest
components, excellent circuit design, and exacting standards to guarantee the quality and long-term
durability of your motherboard. That means exceptional protection and stability for your build thanks
to decades of engineering experience from the world's leading motherboard brand.
SafeSlot Core is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot. Featuring a fortified design that's anchored to the
motherboard by a special hook, Safeslot Core provides 1.6x stronger retention and 1.3x greater
shearing resistance than standard expansion slots.
ASUS Prime motherboards have strengthened solder points around both the PCIe and DIMM pins.
ASUS LANGuard is hardware-level networking protection that employs signal-coupling technology and
premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors to ensure a more reliable connection and better throughput,
plus electrostatically guarded and surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity
and improved protection against surges.
An exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect your chipset, connectivity
ports, and audio codecs from damage caused by unexpected high-level voltages from unstable
or inferior power supplies.
* Specifications and features vary by model, and all images are illustrative. Please refer
specification pages for full details.
ASUS ESD Guards prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, up to +/- 10kV for air discharge
and +/- 6kV for contact discharge, arranged in an active-protective-circuit design that prolongs the
life of components.
Having the freedom to pick and choose the parts that go into your machine is at the heart of PC DIY.
Our extensive certification program focuses on providing the very best compatibility with the widest range
of components and devices, giving you the freedom to build and upgrade without frustration. Compatible
today and compatible far into the future that's the ASUS way.
ASUS offers a suite of proprietary components graphics cards, sound cards, optical drives
that perfectly complement the Prime 200 series, so you can complete your custom motherboard
build with confidence!
