Flexible control options

ASUS Fan Xpert software provides comprehensive control over your fans. Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an extremely quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds below the default minimum, keeping your system whisper-quiet during light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

Advanced cooling options for the PRIME A520

The PRIME A520 series motherboards feature comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert software or through the UEFI BIOS. Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors, and Fan Xpert lets you map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimise cooling for GPU and CPU-intensive tasks. A dedicated integrated circuit also protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent, and each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

DIY-friendly – Q-LED Core and SafeSlot Core

The Q-LED Core display produces light patterns via the power LED during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) that help with troubleshooting. A fast 4Hz (0.25s) flash indicates 'CPU not detected', a slow 1/2Hz (2s) flash indicates 'VGA not detected', a very slow 1/8Hz (8s) flash indicates 'boot device not detected', and a steady light means the installation is complete. SafeSlot Core is ASUS's exclusive PCIe slot, featuring a reinforced design anchored by a special hook. It provides 1.6× stronger retention and 1.3× greater shear resistance than standard expansion slots.

Choosing a motherboard

When choosing a motherboard (or mainboard), it is important to pay particular attention to the motherboard's socket type, form factor, and chipset. These parameters are among the most important and ensure the board's compatibility with the processor, expansion cards, and other components. The specific socket will determine the choice of a suitable processor, while the other connectors will dictate the selection of other components for your future computer.
