ASUS Prime H670-PLUS D4 Motherboard

The ASUS Prime H670-PLUS D4 is designed for desktop builders seeking a smart, modern foundation for Intel’s LGA 1700 platform without jumping to premium boards. It supports Intel 12th-Generation (and compatible) Core processors and enables strong connectivity, storage and memory performance while preserving DDR4 memory compatibility. It’s ideal for users upgrading to a new Intel platform who want future-capable features—such as PCIe 4.0 slots and multiple M.2 SSDs—while using existing DDR4 modules and keeping system costs reasonable.

The Prime H670-PLUS D4 incorporates an Intel H670 chipset paired with an LGA 1700 socket, providing support for Intel 12th-Gen Core processors and related families. It supports DDR4 memory—allowing reuse of existing RAM—and long memory speeds when overclocked. Connectivity includes multiple M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs, PCIe 4.0 x16 for modern graphics cards, a 2.5 Gb Ethernet interface, USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) ports and integrated graphics outputs (HDMI, DisplayPort). The board also features ASUS’s protection and reliability technologies (such as SafeSlot Core+ and 5X Protection III) and Aura Sync headers for lighting customisation.

To make full use of this motherboard you’ll need a compatible Intel LGA 1700 CPU, an ATX-case supporting standard ATX form factor and a good quality power supply providing 24-pin main connector and 8-pin CPU 12 V power. Use DDR4 memory modules in the dual-channel configuration, and ensure BIOS is updated for any newer CPUs. For optimal performance with PCIe 4.0 SSDs and high-speed RAM, pair with compatible hardware (like 12th-Gen Intel Core and modern NVMe drives).
