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

Channel Sockets

Channel A DIMM_A1*

• 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.

• 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 (2 DIMMs).

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

architecture, offering a user-friendly interface that goes beyond the traditional keyboard­only BIOS controls to enable a more flexible 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 PH410MR.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 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 flash 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 flash 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 flash drive
containing the BIOS le to the USB port.

3. The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS le. When found, the utility
reads the BIOS le and enters ASUS EZ Flash 3 automatically.

4. The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover the BIOS setting. To ensure
system compatibility and stability, we recommend that you press <F5> to load default
BIOS values.

DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause
system boot failure!
