FLEXIBILITY

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. The Prime H610 motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximize productivity.

All-Around Energy Efficiency

The Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes energy savings with Away mode — a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Advanced Tuning for Serious Tweakers

An intuitive Advanced mode offered via the UEFI lets you take complete control. A built-in search feature makes it easy to find options, and various advanced functions let you intelligently make nuanced adjustments so you can dial in performance just the way you want.

Search Function

Quickly and easily find the option or setting you need.

ASUS User Profile

Port configuration settings between different BIOS versions or share them with friends.

COOLING

Cooler by Design

Prime H610 series feature comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 2+ software or via the UEFI BIOS.

Multiple Temperature Sources

Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

PERFORMANCE

Prime H610 series are built to handle the additional cores and increased bandwidth of 13th & 12th Generation Intel® processors. ASUS H610 motherboards provide all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible transfer options.

Memory

DDR5 Performance

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. With the PRIME H610M-K ARGB, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, whether they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked. For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the PRIME H610M-K ARGB is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.

Storage

M.2 slot (up to 32 Gbps)

PRIME H610M-K ARGB offers one M.2 slot that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps via PCIe 3.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

Connectivity

PCIe 4.0

Prime H610 motherboards are designed specifically for 13th & 12th Generation Intel® Core™ CPUs and offer PCIe 4.0 connectivity for GPUs. The wide bandwidth and superfast transmission speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can handle high loads effortlessly.

Audio

Combined onboard features deliver elevated audio

Intelligent design and premium hardware create audio quality unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.

Audio Shielding

Audio shielding ensures precision analog/digital separation and greatly reduced multi-lateral interference.

Dedicated Audio PCB Layers

Separate layers for left and right tracks ensures both channels deliver consistent, equal quality.

Premium Audio Capacitors

Provides warm, natural, and immersive sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation

This utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio, while preserving vocals at the same time. This removes distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises so you can hear and be heard with crystal clarity while gaming or in calls.

Personalization

Aura Sync

Outshine the Competition

A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers — and it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

DIY Friendly

Q-LED Core

The Q-LED Core display produces light patterns by power LED during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) that can help users troubleshoot potential issues.
