Digital Power Design
PRIME B850M-K features an 8+2+1 phase power design with discrete MOSFETs, ensuring efficient and stable power delivery for AMD processors plus steady performance for day-to-day use.

Enhanced DDR5 Performance
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. The PRIME B850M-K maximizes the potential of your DDR5 modules, from entry-level to extreme-speed kits.2
For entry-level modules without EXPO™ support, ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) automatically detects memory chips and provides optimized profiles for enhanced performance.
For those looking to surpass stock DDR5 speeds, the PRIME B850M-K offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support and a wide array of UEFI settings for further performance tweaks.

Two M.2 slots (up to 128 Gbps)
PRIME B850M-K offers a total of two M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and one that support PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

Cooler by Design
The PRIME B850M-K motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

ASUS Fan Xpert 2+
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ 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.

UEFI BIOS
The UEFI interface delivers easy-to-use configuration options for PC beginners, and advanced features for veterans.

ASUS DriverHub
Simplify driver management with automatic detection, one-click installation and update for smooth, efficient system performance.

Armoury Crate
Customize Aura Sync RGB and control ASUS devices. Includes product registration and updates.

Aura Sync
Complete RGB lighting control for enthusiast systems, ensuring seamless synchronization with compatible hardware.

Addressable Gen 2 RGB headers
Three addressable Gen 2 headers detect LED counts on compatible RGB devices, automatically adjusting lighting effects accordingly.

BIOS FlashBack™
BIOS FlashBack™ simplifies BIOS updates. Just load the BIOS file onto a FAT32 USB stick, insert it into the BIOS FlashBack™ port, and press a button-no CPU or memory needed.

SafeSlot
PCIe 5.0 is twice as fast as PCIe 4.0. ASUS has adapted our SMT manufacturing for the faster SafeSlot, a reinforced metal sheath that ensures secure card installation and faster data speeds.

Q-LED Core
The Q-LED Core display produces color-coded lights during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) that can help you troubleshoot potential issues.
