1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

This motherboard comes with a surface mount Intel® Socket LGA1200

designed for 10th Gen Intel® Core™, Pentium® Gold and Celeron®

Processors.

Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for the LGA1200 socket only. DO

NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155 and LGA1156 sockets

on the LGA1200 socket.

Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and

the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap

is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard

components.

Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise

Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the

LGA1200 socket.

The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from

incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP

cap.

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.

1.4 System memory

This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Module

(DIMM) sockets. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets:

Channel Sockets

Channel A DIMM_A1 & DIMM_A2*

Channel B DIMM_B1 & DIMM_B2*

DIMM_B1

DIMM_B2*

DIMM_A1

DIMM_A2*

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.

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.

For 10th Gen Intel® processors, only Core™ i9/i7 CPUs support

2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 natively, others will run at the maximum transfer rate of

DDR4 2666MHz.

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

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

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.

Refer to www.asus.com for the latest Memory QVL (Qualied Vendors List).

2.1 Knowing BIOS

The new ASUS UEFI BIOS is a Unied Extensible Interface that complies with UEFI

architecture, offering a user-friendly interface that goes beyond the traditional keyboard-

only BIOS controls to enable a more exible and convenient mouse input. You can easily

navigate the new UEFI BIOS with the same smoothness as your operating system. The

term “BIOS” in this user manual refers to “UEFI BIOS” unless otherwise specied.

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware settings such as storage

device conguration, overclocking settings, advanced power management, and boot

device conguration that are needed for system startup in the motherboard CMOS. In

normal circumstances, the default BIOS settings apply to most conditions to ensure

optimal performance. DO NOT change the default BIOS settings except in the following

circumstances:

An error message appears on the screen during the system bootup and requests you

to run the BIOS Setup.

You have installed a new system component that requires further BIOS settings or

update.

Inappropriate BIOS settings may result to instability or boot failure. We strongly

recommend that you change the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service

personnel.

When downloading or updating the BIOS le, rename it as TGB460PS.CAP for this

motherboard.

BIOS settings and options may vary due to different BIOS release versions. Please

refer to the latest BIOS version for settings and options.

For more information on BIOS congurations, please refer to

https://www.asus.com/support, or download the BIOS manual

by scanning the QR code.

2-4 Chapter 2: BIOS information

2.4 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the

BIOS le when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can restore a

corrupted BIOS le using the motherboard support DVD or a USB ash drive that contains

the BIOS le.

The BIOS le in the motherboard support DVD may be older than the BIOS le published

on the ASUS ofcial website. If you want to use the newer BIOS le, download the le at

https://www.asus.com/support/ and save it to a USB ash drive.

Recovering the BIOS

To recover the BIOS:

1. Turn on the system.

2. Insert the motherboard support DVD to the optical drive, or the USB ash drive
