ASUSPrime B650M-A-CSM Micro-ATX Commercial Motherboard, DDR5, PCIe 5.0 M.2 Support

It's was the cheapest motherboard at the time with the ports I wanted

I usually get the less-featured asus board and have for years. I read reviews on this one and folks said it wouldn't run memory at 6000. It's running my expo ram at 6000 cl30 just fine. I put a 7950X in it. No issues there either. The bios let me set the TDP so I dropped it to 120W. It was nice to have a granular setting for this and not a stupid "eco mode" setting. Phoronix unigine-heaven says I'm tied for the best result with my video card (7900XT) at 2K. You really can't ask for anything more than that on a system with reduced TDP. Nothing gets hot. The onboard RGB was picked up by Linux just fine and worked with OpenRGB. I don't use the wifi or blutooth but I'm sure they are fine. Plenty of room for a huge Noctua cpu cooler. Benchmarks are fantastic. I didn't even have to update the bios. It had the most recent. The only thing I had to do in bios after turning off wifi and blutooth and setting TDP was turn on Resize Bar. For some reason it wasn't on by default. Oh, and I had to turn on EXPO for my ram. But that was it. Boom, saw the ram, overclocked it.Rarely do I build a system and it's just working the first time I hit the power button. That's how it was this time.Save your money on an AM5 build. Use this board.

Asus has done this to me twice now. MBs that are intermittent and act up when booting. Sometimes have to power off and try again. I got this for the features mostly so that I could run high bandwidth PCIE raid drive and still have other M2 drives with full bandwidth as well but if ASRock made a board with these features I would have bought that even at the same price. Asus has not changed since the last mistake I made with them. Overall it "works" most of the time eventually, but why do I have to keep powering off to reboot? Why? Really nice features but come on man. Get it right. Whats the use in having nice features if you are constantly fighting basic functionality like a simple software reboot instead of unplugging the power cord?

With an installed Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600MHz RAM, running at either at the rated speed or at 4800MHz this mobo restarts and freezes randomly. The same memory (purchased new from Amazon) works at its rated speed in a MSI motherboard. I downloaded the ASUS BIOS updates hoping that at least one of these will be able to solve the issues (excluding the betas, there are currently 3 BIOS updates on their web site - the latest being v. 1616). It is impossible to update the BIOS using Asus EZ Flash 3 - it reads the file and after the progress bar shows up it restarts immediately without even starting the process. As a last resort I tried the Flashback option - it blinks a couple of times and then the light stayed solid green for more than an hour. No update was performed and YES, the BIOS image was renamed as per the ASUS recommendation. I used a Noctua NH-D15, which kept the CPU temperature in the low 50C (~120F). Never in my life have I ever experienced such a level of frustration with any computer related product/part.

Great motherboard. Paired it with a Ryzen 16 core processor, 64 gig ram, & SSD hard drive.

Had this exact problem on 2 boards. RMA'd the first one back to Amazon, but 2nd board exhibited the exact same behavior. Ran 4 sticks of 8GB RAM from the compatibility list. Every time a known good stick of RAM was in the 3rd DIMM slot, Memory error and would not boot. Had to put a speaker on the motherboard to get the post codes as there are no onboard diagnostic LED's like with MSI, etc. This RAM was known good and worked fine in other systems, and any stick in the 3rd DIMM would elicit the behavior. Further, i could not get the PCIe card i was trying to use to be recognized by either board. Once again, this PCIe card worked fine in other systems. Contacted ASUS support, in the hopes that a BIOS update would fix, no avail. They didn't have a clue other than to return the board either to Amazon or them. (Their 1st tier support didn't seem to understand what a PCIe expansion card was.) The only option they offered was for me to pay to ship the board to ASUS, and i would get a known good b-stock for my trouble. That's not an option when i am paying full price for a board. So back to Amazon they all went and i am using a Asrock PG Lightning and everything just works. Too bad, ASUS' BIOS is amazing. And their in Windows tweaking utilities worked great.

i added the board with a ryzen 9 7900x, 32 gig memory, radeon RX5500 and a couple of m.2 2tb drives. runs well. needed to do some updates to cards and programming. does run faster than my ryzen 7 5700 - as expected.

Not a fault of the board, just a heads up if you're gonna use this board with a new amd graphics card it doesn't have the up to date amd board drivers preloaded so just be sure to download those

It is rare to find a USB-C display on an Asus motherboard. This lets me connect my Apple Studio monitor with no problem. Be sure to update the BIOS in the first boot. I forgot about the Bluetooth/wireless until I wanted to connect my Bambu 3D printer. I will have to get a card for this, but the board is affordable compared to the next model, so I have some wiggle room with the price.

Not working.Black screen and BIOS not loading and not working. Bios Flash not working

I used to run high end MB but decided to go lower this time since the new Ryzen chips are so efficient and the power delivery so overkill on everything.I like the value proposition of this board, it looks great without the RGB gamer aesthetic. you get the boot status LEDs which is not as handy as 7-segment but it looks a lot better and sufficient for daily use.I wish it was B650E chipset instead, but PCIE 4.0 16x should still be plenty for the lifetime of this board, even for top end graphics.It's a shame they don't give you a third heatsink for the third M.2 slotThere's also some usual AMD jank, this time I have a problem where my system cannot reboot only, it can boot, everything rock stable all normal, but if I reboot it just gets stuck in post. AMD is just not as polished and stable as Intel.

No tiene luces, es eatx y tiene algunos detalles que para tu uso gamer no sirve, sin embargo para una compu de diseño es una maravilla, no trae wifi

Primero confieso qué no me di cuenta que no tiene WIFI y tampoco conté los puertos USB, sin embargo, para el precio es impensable qué no tenga WIFI y que tenga tan pocos puertos USB.Lo peor viene cuando le pones los 4 slots de memoria ram, simplemente no funciona, ni reconoce su velocidad real y además hace un test de memoria cada que inicia, lo cual es normal, pero lo que no es normal es que tarde tanto tiempo en completarlo (+ de 1 hora con los 4 módulos).La regresé y pedí mejor una MSI, estas investigue y no tienen el mismo problema, ya les contaré.
