Enhanced DDR5 performance
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. The PRIME B840M-A-CSM maximizes the potential of your DDR5 modules, from entry-level to extreme-speed kits.*
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 B840M-A-CSM offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support and a wide array of UEFI settings for further performance tweaks.**
*Memory overclocking may vary between CPU series. Please refer to the spec table for detailed information.
**Supported memory types, data rates (speed), and number of DRAM modules vary depending on the CPU and memory configuration. For more information, please refer to the CPU/Memory Support List under the Support tab on the product information page or visit https://www.asus.com/support/download-center/.
Three M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)
PRIME B840M-A-CSM offers a total of three M.2 slots, including two that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, and one that supports PCIe 3.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.*
*Actual transmission speeds will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet
Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfers.
Front USB 5Gbps Type-C®
This motherboard features a USB 5Gbps Type-C® front panel connector for speedy data transfers of up to 5Gbps.*
