Power Scheme
Stable power supply is critical to maximize the performance of Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors. The PRIME B860M-A-CSM is designed to meet the needs of processors with more cores. It features 7(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) power stages combining high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers in packages rated for up to 80 amps of current each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future Intel4 processors.
AEMP III for maximum DDR5 performance
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware that enables unrivaled memory performance with the latest CUDIMM modules. Through a two-phase complex tuning process, AEMP III optimizes the clock driver first and then the memory frequency. The result is an optimal balance between performance and stability, even at the latest DDR5-7600 speeds and beyond.
Two M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)
The PRIME B860M-A-CSM offers a total of two M.2 slots, one supporting data transfer rates up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0 and the other 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This allows for faster booting and loading of applications from OS or application disks.
Cooler by design
The PRIME B860M-A-CSM motherboard features multiple built-in heatsinks and multiple hybrid fans to keep your system stable under heavy loads.
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive fan control. In Auto Setup mode, all settings are customized with a single click. There is also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces the case fan speed to the minimum default setting to keep the system running quietly for light tasks. The fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
Enhanced connectivity
The PRIME B860M-A-CSM motherboard offers extensive connectivity options, including support for the latest PCI Express and an arsenal of USB ports, including those with Type-C connectors.
20Gbps USB port
USB ports support high-end systems equipped with peripherals, including a rear USB Type-C port with data transfer rates up to 20Gbps.
PCIe 5.0 slot
The latest processors feature PCIe 5.0 support, doubling data transfer rates over PCIe 4.0, improving signal integrity, backward compatibility with CEM connectors, and support for previous PCIe versions.
Customization
The PRIME B860M-A-CSM enhances the user experience on all fronts, from simplifying BIOS settings to customizable RGB backlighting controls to create a uniquely personalized system aesthetic.
Aura Sync
Complete RGB lighting control for enthusiast systems, providing seamless synchronization with compatible hardware.
DIY friendly
The PRIME B860M-A-CSM motherboard features EZ PC DIY innovations that simplify and speed up the PC assembly process, making it easy and convenient.
SafeSlot
PCIe 5.0 speeds are twice as fast as PCIe 4.0. ASUS has adapted our SMT manufacturing for faster SafeSlot, a reinforced metal shell that enables secure card installation and faster data transfer speeds.
