How to install Asus Prime H610M-A D4-CSM motherboard

  • Prepare your workspace and components: connect a grounded anti-static strap and lay out the motherboard, CPU, memory, GPU (if applicable), storage drives, and case connectors in an organized area.
  • Install the CPU into the LGA 1700 socket: lift the retention arm, align the notches on the processor with the socket, seat it firmly, and close the socket latch. Apply thermal paste as required and attach the CPU cooler according to the cooler’s mounting hardware.
  • Install memory modules: insert the DDR4 RAM into the correct DIMM slots, ensuring full engagement with the locking latches. Use the motherboard manual to verify the preferred slots for your memory configuration.
  • Mount the motherboard in the case: align the rear I/O ports and screw holes with the case standoffs, then secure the board with the appropriate screws. Ensure there is clearance for the CPU cooler and power connectors.
  • Connect power: attach the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin (or 4+4) CPU power connector to the motherboard. Route power cables neatly to minimize airflow obstruction.
  • Install storage and expansion options: insert NVMe SSDs into the M.2 slots and tighten the standoff screws. Attach any SATA drives using SATA cables and connect power from the power supply.
  • Connect front panel and peripheral headers: attach the power switch, reset switch, power LED, HDD LED, USB headers, and any front-panel audio cables to the appropriate motherboard pins. Reference the manual for exact pin layouts.
  • Install a graphics card (if using discrete GPU): insert the GPU into the primary PCIe x16 slot, secure with screws, and connect any required auxiliary power cables from the PSU.
  • BIOS setup and updates: power on the system, enter the BIOS/UEFI to configure boot order, memory profiles (XMP/DOCP), and priority for NVMe drives if applicable. Update the BIOS to the latest version if recommended by Asus for optimal 12th Gen CPU compatibility.
  • First boot and OS installation: save BIOS settings, boot from your installation media, and install your operating system and drivers. After OS installation, install chipset drivers, utilities, and any required motherboard software from Asus to ensure full functionality.
