Review: Let’s start with the positives – somewhat of a mixed bag this time around: Data Processing – Being a ProArt, it’s a motherboard attuned to different software meant for artwork – Photoshop, Blender, Krita, Procreate, Corel Painter, GIMP, Fresco, and so on. Despite its purpose, you could probably settle with it pretty comfortably for gaming and basic editing as well. It’s a bit confusing, the way it’s advertised. 7000 MHz is perhaps a little higher than my 32GB RAM, so I don’t quite get all that I can out of it – being that my RAM can take about 6000 MHz at full capacity. Regardless, it’s advertised as PCIe 5.0, and that’s correct – I get about 192 GB out of the 24 lanes it has. Yet, it’s incorrectly labelled PCIe 4.0 in the specifications of the product – a small error, but hopefully this clears things up for people. Artificial Intelligence – This motherboard has two features based on artificial intelligence: AI Noise Cancellation and AI Overclocking – one that works well, and the other that works too well. So far as AI Overclocking, it’s pretty measured as to when it feels is necessary to overclock the PC for the sake of performance, so it’s not likely to overheat your PC because you lost a couple of frames – certainly no complaints there. My issues arise concerning the AI Noise Cancellation features, which – for the most part – tend to be pretty accurate. However, it’s quite sensitive at times and often cuts me off mid-sentence, regardless of how average or quiet the volume – it just seems to get confused more often than not, and it makes conversation sometimes a bit difficult. Support – There’s a wide variety of handy support options with regards to this motherboard. It’s fitted with both a 1GB and a 2.5GB Ethernet port – though admittedly, either only averages about 400MB – three medium PCIe 5.0 ports – which are interlinked, so if you plan to use more than one port, the lanes will be split – one small PCIe 5.0 port, USB 3.0, USB 4.0, Display Port, and USB C. All pretty useful for different devices and extra bits, but with the way in which the motherboard acts, adding devices means separating its processing power evenly – so if you’re planning to push what you can out of multiple devices, you’ll only ever get a fraction of what you’d expect. Overall, the motherboard can support a variety of devices but lacks the ability to hold them all. For the negatives, I’ve only really had one issue thus far: Dispersion – It’s only ever happened twice so far, but this motherboard isn’t very good at dispersing electricity. During busy periods, it can get gridlocked and retain energy. Not enough to cause sparks or anything, but what it will do is put pressure on the display and cause the monitor to black out. It doesn’t cut the audio – so I know it's still on – but while things happen in the background, nothing feeds to display, and you’ll have to shut it off. The best method I’ve found so far is: Shutting off the monitor, pushing the power button, flipping the PSU, and then turning everything off at the wall. Give it a while and repeat everything in the reverse order. It should fix the issue without bricking or burning your PC. Overall, pretty decent motherboard for the money with a lot of value in the PCIe ports - you'd be hard pressed to find one that isn't as practical as this one. Though I'd wait for it to go on sale again - I saved about £80 and kept my budget under £1,500.
Review: 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!

*by A***R on 27 May 2024*

I used to run high end MB but decided to go lower this time since the new Ryzen chips are so efficient and the power delivery so overkill on everything. I like the value proposition of this board, it looks great without the RGB gamer aesthetic. you get the boot status LEDs which is not as handy as 7-segment but it looks a lot better and sufficient for daily use. I wish it was B650E chipset instead, but PCIE 4.0 16x should still be plenty for the lifetime of this board, even for top end graphics. It's a shame they don't give you a third heatsink for the third M.2 slot There's also some usual AMD jank, this time I have a problem where my system cannot reboot only, it can boot, everything rock stable all normal, but if I reboot it just gets stuck in post. AMD is just not as polished and stable as Intel.
