Gigabyte B860M GAMING X WIFI6E Motherboard - DDR5, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6E

Gigabyte B860M GAMING X WIFI6E Motherboard - DDR5, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6E takes modern micro ATX gaming and content-creation systems to the next level with full support for Intel LGA 1851 processors and advanced connectivity.

This board is built around the Intel B860 chipset and supports the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 1 and Series 2 processors in the LGA 1851 (Socket V1), giving you strong CPU compatibility for both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads.

Memory performance is a highlight with four DIMM slots supporting DDR5 unbuffered ECC and non‑ECC modules up to 9200 MHz and a maximum of 256 GB (64 GB per slot) in dual-channel configuration, ideal for heavy multitasking, editing, and modern games.

Storage options are flexible with two M.2 slots (one supporting PCIe 5.0 up to 2280, the second up to PCIe 4.0 with a 25110 size), plus four SATA III connectors and support for up to six storage drives. Hardware RAID 0/1/5/10 is available for performance and redundancy configurations.

Connectivity is comprehensive: USB4 Gen 2x2, multiple USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port driven by the Realtek RTL8125, and Intel Wi‑Fi 6E AX211 with Bluetooth 5.3 and external antenna connectors for fast wireless networking.

Expansion and cooling are practical for compact builds with one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (Gen4.x electrically), two CPU fan headers, two chassis fan headers, two water pump connectors, and multiple RGB headers. System health monitoring covers fans, temperatures, voltages, and water cooling to keep your PC stable under load.

This Gigabyte board also features 7.1‑channel audio powered by Realtek ALC897, UEFI AMI BIOS (256 Mbit), TPM and Thunderbolt headers, and passive cooling for quieter operation. It ships with antenna, screws, CR2032 battery and a 3‑year warranty, making it a complete package for builders.

Use cases: pair the B860M GAMING X WIFI6E with an Intel Core Ultra CPU for a compact gaming rig, a compact workstation for video editing and 3D rendering with high-speed DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 NVMe storage, or a high-performance home server using RAID arrays and 2.5GbE networking.
