ASUS Prime B760M-A-CSM DDR5 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS Prime B760M-A-CSM is a commercial-grade Micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel B760 chipset, designed for Intel LGA1700 processors spanning the 12th, 13th, and 14th generation Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron lineups. Its Corporate Stable Model (CSM) designation means ASUS commits to up to 36 months of product lifecycle support and a 6-month end-of-life notice, making it a dependable choice for businesses, system integrators, and professional builders who need long-term platform stability. Memory support is a highlight: four DDR5 DIMM slots accommodate up to 128 GB of non-ECC unbuffered memory in dual-channel configuration, with XMP profiles and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile II (AEMP II) enabling speeds from the native 4800 MHz baseline up to 7200+ MHz via overclocking. Two M.2 slots (both Key-M, supporting 2242/2260/2280 form factors at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds) pair with four SATA 6 Gb/s ports to deliver flexible, high-throughput storage options. Intel Rapid Storage Technology enables SATA RAID 0/1/5/10 configurations for added redundancy. Connectivity is equally well-rounded. The rear I/O provides a Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, four USB 2.0 Type-A ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 (4K@60 Hz), two HDMI 2.1 ports (4K@60 Hz each), three audio jacks, a PS/2 combo port, and a Wi-Fi module slot. Front-panel headers expand connectivity further with USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers (including a Type-C connector) and additional USB 2.0 headers. Thermal management is handled by a VRM heatsink, an M.2 heatsink with captive screws, a PCH heatsink, and four hybrid fan headers (one CPU, one CPU OPT, two chassis) governed by Fan Xpert 2+. The six-layer PCB improves heat dissipation across critical voltage-regulation components. Audio quality is addressed through a Realtek HD CODEC with audio shielding, premium capacitors, and dedicated PCB layers supporting 7.1 surround sound output up to 24-bit/192 kHz. For system builders who value aesthetics, three onboard Addressable Gen 2 headers and one Aura RGB header allow synchronisation with Aura Sync-compatible peripherals via Armoury Crate software. Protection features under ASUS 5X Protection III include DIGI+ VRM, LANGuard, overvoltage protection, SafeSlot Core+, and a stainless-steel back I/O panel.
