ASUS Prime B850 Plus Wifi CSM AMD Motherboard (PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM)
B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM
ASUS Prime series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of AMD Ryzen™ 9000 series processors. The PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM motherboard provides users and PC DIY builders with a range of performance optimizations via intuitive software and firmware features. It’s designed to be Advanced AI PC-ready, offering the power and connectivity needed for demanding AI applications.
Performance
Digital Power Design
PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM features an 8+2+1 phase power design with discrete MOSFETs, ensuring efficient and stable power delivery for AMD processors plus steady performance for day-to-day use.
Six-layer PCB design
Enhanced stability and overclocking. The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
Power Saving
Optimize power with CPU, lighting, and fan settings. The Power Saving function contains several settings to easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting and set the fan profile to a Power Saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.
Digi+ VRM control
Real-time voltage control. The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.
Enhanced DDR5 performance
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. The PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM maximizes the potential of your DDR5 modules, from entry-level to extreme-speed kits.2
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 B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support and a wide array of UEFI settings for further performance tweaks.
Three M.2 slots (up to 128 Gbps)
PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM offers a total of three M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and two that support PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
Cooler by design
The PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans. An Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
Cooler compatibility
ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics and customizable functionality for new motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig.
Empowering connections
This motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity, including support for WiFi 6E, PCIe 5.0 slot and an arsenal of USB ports which includes Type-C® connections.
WiFi 6E
Built-in WiFi 6E5 technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. With triple the bandwidth of the 2.4/5/6 GHz band, WiFi 6E delivers ultrafast wireless networking speeds with improved capacity and better performance in dense wireless environments.
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.
USB 10Gbps Type-C®
A batch of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a rear USB Type-C® connector with ultrafast USB 10Gbps for transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Personalization
The PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM enhances the user experience across the board, from simplifying BIOS setting adjustments to offering customizable RGB lighting controls for a uniquely personal system aesthetic.
DIY friendly
The PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI-CSM motherboard features EZ PC DIY innovations that simplify and speed up the PC building process, making DIY easy and convenient.
Q-Antenna
With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.7
Q-LED Core
The Q-LED Core display produces color-coded lights during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) that can help you troubleshoot potential issues.
Build for the most advanced pc for gaming and creating
When only the fastest will do, ASUS motherboards deliver. With faster dual-channel DDR5 memory support, AMD EXPO™ technology and PCIe® 5.0 support for both graphics and NVMe, you can play the most demanding games and deliver your biggest projects with the revolutionary performance of an ASUS motherboard and AMD Ryzen™ 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors.
