Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, PRIME A520 series motherboards provide daily users and DIY PC builders a range of performance tuning options via intuitive software and firmware features.
FLEXIBILITY
Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS PRIME series. The PRIME A520 motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximize productivity.
Intelligent Control
All-Around Energy Efficiency
With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU), you‘ll enjoy system-wide power savings.The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode. |
Flexible Cooling Controls
ASUS Fan Xpert software provides comprehensive control over fans. An Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS. |
Precise Digital Power Control
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance. |
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. |
Quick and Simple Setup
EZ mode displays vital settings and stats and also offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings — all to help you get your rig up and running in no time.
