Name: GIGABYTE B860M DS3H WIFI6E Motherboard - DDR5, PCIe 5, 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 6E
Brand: GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE B860M DS3H WIFI6E Motherboard - DDR5, PCIe 5, 2.5GbE, Wi‑Fi 6E arrives as a robust micro‑ATX board tailored for the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra processors (Series 1 & 2) with the LGA 1851 (Socket V1) platform.

This motherboard supports DDR5 memory across four DIMM slots in dual‑channel configuration, with ECC and non‑ECC compatibility and clock speeds up to 9066 MHz, allowing up to 256 GB (64 GB per slot) for high‑capacity workstations and content‑creation rigs.

Storage flexibility is excellent thanks to two M.2 slots (one supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 and one PCIe 4.0), four SATA III ports and RAID support (0, 1, 5, 10), giving you fast NVMe boot drives and ample bulk storage for projects and media libraries.

Connectivity is comprehensive: a 2.5 GbE LAN (Realtek RTL8125), Intel Wi‑Fi 6E AX211 with Bluetooth 5.3, multiple USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type‑A, HDMI 2.1 and dual DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, and a full audio stack driven by the Realtek ALC897 codec for 7.1 channels.

PCI Express flexibility includes one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for next‑gen GPUs and five PCIe 4.0 x16 slots (electrical/configuration dependent), while multiple fan and water‑pump headers, RGB LED headers (4), and robust power connectors (24‑pin ATX and single 8‑pin EPS) support advanced cooling and custom builds.

The board uses an Intel B860 chipset with UEFI AMI BIOS (256 Mbit), passive cooling, and Windows 10/11 x64 compatibility. Onboard monitoring covers fans, temperatures, voltages and water‑cooling, and the package includes antenna, screws and a CR2032 battery, backed by a 3‑year warranty.

Practical use cases include building a compact high‑performance workstation, a mid‑range gaming machine with next‑gen GPU support, or a productivity PC that benefits from fast NVMe storage and Wi‑Fi 6E connectivity. The micro‑ATX form factor makes it easy to fit into space‑conscious builds without sacrificing expandability.
