ASUS today announced the Pro Q670M-C-CSM business motherboard with support for 12th Gen Intel Core processors and DDR5 memory. The Pro Q670M-C-CSM joins the ASUS B660 and H610 models launched in January to deliver a full lineup for customers ranging from small-to-medium businesses to enterprise. These models are designed to deliver enhanced security, reliability, manageability, and serviceability that every company needs to build their IT systems. The board is equipped with anti-sulfur resistors, anti-moisture coating, and a stainless-steel rear I/O port to prevent internal corrosion and adhesion in order to prolong the board's life in humid environments.





DDR5 Compatible

With a 50% faster data rate than DDR4 RAM kits, the Pro Q670M-C-CM is equipped for heavy data loads. A PCIe 4.0 x16 slot provides compatibility with the latest graphics card, and a pair of M.2 slots allows high-speed SSDs in PCIe 4.0 x4 mode.

Security Features: ASUS Boot Defender

The Pro Q670M-C-CSM includes a market-leading security feature called ASUS Boot Defender. Boot Defender includes NIST SP 800-193 compliance, which automatically detects and protects the boot environment and allows the BIOS to self-recover from intrusions and attacks. This feature secures the PC before it loads the operating system (OS), to provide additional protection.

The board also includes a hardware-based security Trusted Platform Module (TPM), offering data protection, network security, digital identity protection, and platform integrity.

Programs: ASUS Corporate Stable Model (CSM) and Control Center Express

The board is a part of the ASUS Corporate Stable Model (CSM) - an-inhouse commercial motherboard program designed to provide stable and reliable motherboards. The program delivers material-supply flexibility and notifies users when the board reaches its end-of-life phase.

Pro Q670M-C-CSM also includes ASUS Control Center Express - a real-time IT monitoring and management tool that improves business productivity and enhances security by managing unauthorized user enterprise access and preventing data leaks.

The description of the board makes me believe it's going to be costly so high RAM price will be acceptable too. DDR5 price is coming down from the orbit at an acceptable rate, a single slow 8GB DDR5 stick is 70 €. Unless you need one with anti-sulfur resistors and anti-moisture coating, uhm.

My last experience with Q series was Q370 with 8700 non K and 2666 MB/s RAM, at the office obviously. From such a build you demand stability and for that it is simply excellent, although it can do almost everything.
Socket 1700 has a better segmentation with a relatively cheap Asus Pro B660M-C D4-CSM, that is supposed to support DDR4 higher than 3600 and now this Q670 board that will hopefully support overclocked DDR5. It might be a good choice (price?) for an office build, that can move home for the kids after a few years.

DDR5 prices are getting better. A 16gb 6000 MB/s stick now costs around 170 eur (or 180-185 for g-skill). Compared to 3600 DDR4 it's very expensive, but not so much compared to 4000 DDR4 and hopefully the trend will continue.

yes but, is there a point wasting all that money on fast memory for an office computer?
the way i see it, if you spend like more than $50-60ish on a 16gib stick (3200-c22 or some shit, that'll do) for such a computer, you're seriously doing it wrong

Nice board. But are these Pro motherboards being sold to the consumer retail market?
