ASUS B860M-PLUS WIFI Micro ATX - Motherboard

ASUS B860M-PLUS WIFI Micro ATX - Motherboard arrives as a compact yet powerful micro ATX platform built around the Intel B860 chipset and designed for Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors using the LGA 1851 (Socket V1).

This motherboard supports DDR5-SDRAM across four DIMM slots with dual-channel architecture and up to 256 GB of unbuffered memory, giving you headroom for demanding multitasking and creative workloads.

Storage flexibility is exceptional with three M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0 x4 and two PCIe 4.0 x4, all up to 2280) plus four SATA III connectors for a total of up to seven drives. Hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported to tailor performance or redundancy to your needs.

Connectivity is modern and versatile: 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) with included antenna, Bluetooth 5.4, a full set of USB ports (including USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type‑C), HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, and S/PDIF out for digital audio. Thunderbolt header support and multiple fan and power connectors help integrate this board into high-performance builds.

The board provides strong expandability with one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, plus three onboard M.2 bays for NVMe storage, making it suitable for gaming rigs, content creation stations, or compact workstations that require high-speed storage and next‑gen CPU compatibility.

Audio is handled with 7.1 channels for immersive sound, and wide Windows 11 support ensures compatibility with modern software. The UEFI AMI BIOS with 256 Mbit memory offers robust tuning and update options for enthusiasts.

This micro ATX design (244 x 244 mm) in black fits small to mid-size cases while still offering extensive ports, cooling headers (three chassis fan connectors plus CPU fan), front-panel connectors, SATA cables, antenna and screws in the package to simplify installation.

Use cases: build a compact high-performance gaming PC with PCIe 5.0 GPU support, assemble a speedy NVMe-based content creation workstation with RAID arrays for media, or create a versatile home office machine with top-tier networking thanks to Wi‑Fi 7 and 2.5 GbE.
