Motherboard information

2.1 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

CAUTION!

• 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.

2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1200 socket designed for the

Intel

®

10

th

Generation (Comet Lake-S) Core™ i9/ i7/ i5/ i3 14nm LGA1200 socket

Processor.

LGA1200

CAUTION!

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

DO NOT install a CPU designed for other sockets on the LGA1200 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.

• Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.

• 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. ASUS will shoulder the cost

of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

• 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.

CAUTION!

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

DO NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1155, LGA1156, and LGA1151

sockets on the LGA1200 socket.

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

removal, incorrect CPU orientation/placement, or other damages resulting

from negligence by the user.

2.5 System memory

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

Module (DIMM) sockets. A DDR4 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.

NOTE: According to Intel

®

CPU specications, DIMM voltage below 1.2V is

recommended to protect the CPU.

2.6 Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in

CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup

parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button

cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup

information such as system passwords.

(Default)

GND

CLRTC

To erase the RTC RAM:

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

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on

pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

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 reenter data.

CAUTION! Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on

CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot

failure!

NOTE: If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move

the jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS,

reinstall the battery.
