Review: quality - very good old bios design. Review: Surprisingly capable Proxmox server motherboard - I purchased the B650M-CT-CSM to run Proxmox, with ECC memory, in my home lab. I'm happy to say everything works fine using two Kingston Ksm48e40bd8ki-32ha 32GB UDIMMs w/ ECC. The BIOS isn't graphical but I found it very complete. ECC controls were in the DRAM menu and they include both ECC enable/auto/disable *and* it included an option to enable ECC error *injection*. (I've not tested the latter because I don't have a copy of the 'Pro' version of memtest86+). One of the Asus docs online said the board supports x4/x4/x4/x4 PCIe bifurcation on the x16 slot and I'm happy to report that this option does exist in the BIOS. (Note, I've not tested it). And, to Asus credit, the BIOS *also* has options to enable PCIe x8/x8 bifurcation on the x16 slot with an appropriate riser card. This board doesn't include a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) with IPMI so some may say it isn't a "real" server motherboard. But, for the price, it's surprisingly good. 5 Stars! ## Features - AM5 Socket: Ready for AMD Ryzen Desktop 9000*, 8000*, and 7000 Series Processors - *BIOS Update maybe required when used with AMD Ryzen Desktop 9000 and 8000 Series CPU Processors - ASUS CSM program: A stable motherboard supply, end-of-life notifications, and IT software for business motherboards - ASUS Control Center Express: Integrated IT monitoring and management software that simplifies enterprise-level system administration - Enhanced system security: ASUS Boot Defender with NIST SP800-193 compliance, a self-recovering BIOS, and TPM to safeguard PCs - Consistent and reliable performance: High-quality components and rigorous testing to help ensure durability in harsh environments - Efficient management and customization: An event log and commercial BIOS kit to enable easy maintenance - Better serviceability: Q-LED Core diagnostic display and COM debug header to facilitate building and support processes - Ultrafast connectivity: M.2 PCIe 5.0, DDR5, USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and front USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C6BSKL6B | | Best Sellers Rank | #141,818 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #1,162 in Motherboards | | Brand | ASUS | | Brand Name | ASUS | | CPU Model | Ryzen 7 | | CPU Socket | Socket AM5 | | Chipset Family | AMD B650 | | Chipset Type | AMD B650 | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Compatible Processors | AMD Ryzen AM5 | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 8 Reviews | | DriveMemory Storage Capacity | 128 GB | | Graphics Card Interface | PCI Express | | Item Type Name | Computer motherbaord | | Main Power Connector Type | 24-Pin | | Manufacturer | Asus Computer International | | Manufacturer Part Number | Pro B650M-CT-CSM | | Memory Clock Speed | 1333 MHz | | Memory Slots Available | 4 | | Model Name | Pro B650M-CT-CSM | | Model Number | Pro B650M-CT-CSM | | Number Of Ports | 7 | | Number of Ethernet Ports | 1 | | Platform | Windows 10 | | Processor Socket | Socket AM5 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR5 | | Ram Memory Maximum Size | 128 GB | | S/PDIF Connector Type | Optical | | System Bus Standard Supported | SATA 3 | | Total HDMI Port | 2 | | Total PCIe Ports | 4 | | Total SATA Ports | 4 | | Total USB Ports | 4 | | UPC | 197105164512 | | USB 2.0 | 2 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ASUS - **CPU Socket:** Socket AM5 - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Compatible Processors:** AMD Ryzen AM5 - **RAM Memory Technology:** DDR5 ## Images ![ASUS Pro B650M-Ct-Csm AMD B650 AM5 Ryzen Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 Micro-ATX Matx Business Motherboard Ddr5, Pcie 5.0, USB 3.2, M.2, With Enhanced Security, Reliability, Manageability & Serviceability - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wz8-Q0E1L.jpg) ![ASUS Pro B650M-Ct-Csm AMD B650 AM5 Ryzen Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 Micro-ATX Matx Business Motherboard Ddr5, Pcie 5.0, USB 3.2, M.2, With Enhanced Security, Reliability, Manageability & Serviceability - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LyF6yHf-L.jpg) ![ASUS Pro B650M-Ct-Csm AMD B650 AM5 Ryzen Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 Micro-ATX Matx Business Motherboard Ddr5, Pcie 5.0, USB 3.2, M.2, With Enhanced Security, Reliability, Manageability & Serviceability - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91sYw7TmeCL.jpg) ![ASUS Pro B650M-Ct-Csm AMD B650 AM5 Ryzen Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 Micro-ATX Matx Business Motherboard Ddr5, Pcie 5.0, USB 3.2, M.2, With Enhanced Security, Reliability, Manageability & Serviceability - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Saxqwg6ZL.jpg) ![ASUS Pro B650M-Ct-Csm AMD B650 AM5 Ryzen Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 Micro-ATX Matx Business Motherboard Ddr5, Pcie 5.0, USB 3.2, M.2, With Enhanced Security, Reliability, Manageability & Serviceability - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Z+1BWzd7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ quality *by N***D on 25 March 2024* very good old bios design. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly capable Proxmox server motherboard *by B***N on 2 February 2025* I purchased the B650M-CT-CSM to run Proxmox, with ECC memory, in my home lab.

I thought it was configuration driven, or maybe my old PSU, or a used HBA... ended up being this Amazon-Renewed motherboard. ## Frequently Bought Together - ASUS Pro B650M-CT-CSM AMD B650 AM5 Ryzen™ Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 Micro-ATX mATX business motherboard DDR5, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2, M.2, with enhanced security, reliability, manageability & serviceability - Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD 1TB, PCIe Gen 4x4, Gen 5x2 M.2 2280, Speeds Up-to 7,250 MB/s, Upgrade Storage for PC/Laptops, HMB Technology and Intelligent Turbowrite 2.0, (MZ-V9S1T0B/AM) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/636083538-asus-pro-b650m-ct-csm-amd-b650-am5-ryzen-desktop](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/636083538-asus-pro-b650m-ct-csm-amd-b650-am5-ryzen-desktop) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
