ASUS commits to longer availability and controlled firmware revisions on this range, which is exactly what you want when you are specifying twenty identical machines for an office or a lab and you need number twenty to match number one. That same discipline benefits home builders who simply want a system they can set up once and forget. On AM5 it also means a long CPU upgrade path, so an office fleet built on Ryzen 7000 today can take newer chips later without new boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a working board, not an enthusiast one. There is no onboard Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so budget for cabling or an adapter. The graphics slot is PCIe 4.0 rather than 5.0 and Gen5 NVMe support is limited on B840, and CPU overclocking control is narrower than on B650 or B850. Lighting is minimal, there is no post-code display, and rear I\/O is functional rather than lavish. If you are building a high-end gaming machine with a Ryzen 9 and want tuning headroom and wireless in the box, choose a B850 or X870 board instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASUS Corporate Stable Model programme for extended availability and firmware consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour DDR5 slots with AMD EXPO one-click memory profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo M.2 sockets for NVMe storage with Q-Latch tool-free mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5 Gigabit Ethernet for fast local network transfers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive UEFI BIOS with Fan Xpert control and manageability-friendly settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS Prime B840M-A CSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD B840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AMD Socket AM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: Micro-ATX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 4 x DDR5 DIMM, dual channel, up to 128GB, AMD EXPO overclocked profile support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16, plus additional PCIe slots for add-in cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: 2 x M.2 sockets for PCIe NVMe SSDs, 4 x SATA 6Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: Realtek HD audio codec with rear audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: HDMI and DisplayPort output for Ryzen integrated graphics, 2.5G LAN and audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C and Type-A plus USB 3.2 Gen1 and USB 2.0 rear ports, with front-panel USB headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASUS Prime B840M-A CSM motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x SATA data cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 Q-Latch package and mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O shield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser manual and support documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASUS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CSM programme is ASUS putting its name to consistency, which is the quality that matters most when a machine has to run unattended for years.
