Brand: ASRock

ASRock B860 Lightning WiFi Motherboard - LGA1851, DDR5, WiFi 6E arrives as a powerful ATX platform designed for the latest Intel Core Ultra processors and modern gaming and creator builds.

This motherboard is built around the Intel B860 chipset and supports Intel LGA 1851 (Socket V1) CPUs from the Intel Core Ultra (Series 2). It supports DDR5-SDRAM across four DIMM slots in dual-channel configuration, with up to 256 GB of unbuffered memory and maximum supported speeds up to 8666 MHz for extreme memory performance.

Storage options are flexible with M.2 and SATA III interfaces, a single M.2 slot and four SATA III connectors, and full RAID support for levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 for those who need redundancy or performance arrays.

Connectivity is comprehensive: Wi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3 are included with external antenna, while wired networking uses a Killer E3100G 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controller and RJ‑45 port. The board also features a Thunderbolt port, multiple USB ports (USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen1 and Gen2 Type‑A), and modern display outputs including HDMI and DisplayPort 1.4.

Audio and expansion are ready for demanding setups, with Realtek ALC1220 delivering 7.1‑channel audio, S/PDIF out and microphone in. Expansion slots include one PCIe x16 Gen5 and one PCIe x16 Gen4 to support high‑end GPUs and add‑in cards.

Cooling and case integration are made easy with two CPU fan connectors, five chassis fan connectors, RGB LED header and standard ATX power connector. The board uses UEFI AMI BIOS (256 Mbit) and includes SATA cables in the box for straightforward installation.

Ideal use cases include high‑end gaming rigs, content creation workstations, and enthusiast overclock or memory‑centric builds that require high DDR5 speeds, Wi‑Fi 6E connectivity, and robust storage/RAID options. Its black ATX design fits most modern builds and supports Windows 11 x64.
