GIGABYTE B860M EAGLE Motherboard - DDR5, PCIe 5.0, 2.5GbE - Motherboard

GIGABYTE B860M EAGLE Motherboard - DDR5, PCIe 5.0, 2.5GbE arrives as a compact micro-ATX board built for Intel LGA 1851 (Socket V1) processors, ready for the Intel® Core™ Ultra Series and offering modern connectivity and performance features.

This motherboard supports DDR5-SDRAM in two DIMM slots with dual-channel operation and ECC & Non-ECC compatibility, letting you install up to 128 GB (64 GB per slot) and run memory at speeds up to 9066 MHz for demanding desktop workloads and content creation.

Storage options are flexible with two M.2 slots (one with PCIe 5.0 support and one PCIe 4.0) and four SATA III ports, enabling up to six drives and RAID configurations (0, 1, 5, 10) for performance or redundancy depending on your needs.

For graphics and expansion the board provides one PCIe x16 Gen5 slot and one PCIe x16 Gen4 slot, plus integrated display outputs including HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 that support up to 4096 x 2160 resolution and HDCP for protected content playback.

Connectivity is well rounded with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port driven by the Realtek RTL8125 controller, multiple USB options (USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen1 and Gen2 Type-A), PS/2, and a 7.1-channel Realtek ALC897 audio codec with line-in, microphone and headphone outputs. Note that Wi‑Fi is not included.

Power and cooling features include a single 8-pin EPS connector, a 24-pin ATX power connector, two CPU fan headers, two chassis fan headers, two water pump connectors and multiple RGB header pins to support both air and water-cooled builds. The passive cooling design and PC health monitoring (fan, temperature, voltage, water cooling) simplify system maintenance.

This UEFI AMI BIOS board supports Windows 10 x64 and Windows 11 x64, includes TPM and other headers for advanced setups, and ships with CR2032 battery, screws and basic software bundles. At 244 x 225 mm and a micro-ATX form factor it’s suitable for compact gaming rigs, small creative workstations and reliable office PCs.

Use cases: pair the GIGABYTE B860M EAGLE with an Intel Core Ultra processor for high-refresh gaming with a PCIe 5.0 NVMe drive for fast load times, build a content-creation workstation with high-speed DDR5 memory and multiple M.2 SSDs in RAID, or deploy a stable small-form-factor office PC leveraging 2.5GbE networking for faster file transfers.
