Safety information

Electrical safety

• To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet

before relocating the system.

• When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables

for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,

disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

• Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power

cables are unplugged.

• Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices

could interrupt the grounding circuit.

• Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not

sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power

company.

• If the power supply is broken, do not try to x it by yourself. Contact a qualied service

technician or your retailer.

Operation safety

• Before installing the motherboard and adding components, carefully read all the manuals

that came with the package.

• Before using the product, ensure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables

are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.

• To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors,

slots, sockets and circuitry.

• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area

where it may become wet.

• Place the product on a stable surface.

• If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualied service

technician or your retailer.

• Your motherboard should only be used in environments with ambient temperatures

between 0°C and 40°C.

Product Introduction

1.1 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change

any motherboard settings.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded

object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due

to static electricity.

• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the

bag that came with the component.

• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is

switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so

may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

• The pin denitions in this chapter are for reference only. The pin names depend on the

location of the header/jumper/connector.

• Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.

• If your LED strip does not light up, check if the RGB LED extension cable and the

RGB LED strip are connected in the correct orientation, and the 12V connector is

aligned with the 12V header on the motherboard.

• The LED strip will only light up when the system is powered on.

• The LED strip is purchased separately.

13. Clear CMOS header

The Clear CMOS header allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in

the CMOS, which contains the date, time, system passwords, and system setup

parameters.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Short-circuit pin 1-2 with a metal object or jumper cap for about 5-10 seconds.

3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to

re-enter data.

DO NOT short-circuit the pins except when clearing the RTC RAM. Short-circuiting or

placing a jumper cap will cause system boot failure!

If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard button cell battery and short the two

pins again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the button

cell battery.

14. COM Port header

The COM (Serial) Port header allows you to connect a COM port module.

Connect the COM port module cable to this header, then install the module to a

slot opening on the system chassis.

The COM port module is purchased separately.

15. Front Panel Audio header

The Front Panel Audio header is for a chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O

module that supports HD Audio. Connect one end of the front panel audio I/O

module cable to this header.

We recommend that you connect a high-denition front panel audio

module to this header to avail of the motherboard’s high-denition audio

capability.

16. S/PDIF Out header

The S/PDIF Out header allows you to connect the Sony/Philips Digital Interface

(S/PDIF) Out module.

The S/PDIF module is purchased separately.

1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

This motherboard comes with an AMD Socket AM5 designed for AMD

Ryzen™ 7000 Series Desktop Processors.

Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

• The AM5 socket has a different pinout design. Ensure that you use a CPU designed

for the AM5 socket. The CPU ts in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the

CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging

the CPU!

• ASUS will not cover damages resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal,

incorrect CPU orientation/placement, or other damages resulting from negligence by

the user.

Installing the CPU

Apply the Thermal Interface Material to the CPU cooling system and CPU before you install

the cooling system, if necessary.

1.4 System memory

This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) Dual Inline Memory Module

(DIMM) sockets. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR5 DIMM sockets:

DIMM_A1

DIMM_A2

DIMM_B1

DIMM_B2

Channel Sockets

Channel A DIMM_A1 & DIMM_A2

Channel B DIMM_B1 & DIMM_B2

A DDR5 memory module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4

module. DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4 memory module to the DDR5 slot.

• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system

maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel conguration. Any

excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel

operation.

• You may install 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB unbuffered ECC and non-ECC DDR5

DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect

(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module.

Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a

lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.

• For system stability, use a more efcient memory cooling system to support a full

memory load.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we

recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C)

from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules.

• Supported memory types, data rate (speed), and number of DRAM modules vary

depending on the CPU and memory conguration, for more information please refer

to CPU/Memory Support list under the Support tab of product information site or visit
