ASUS TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI

The ASUS TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI is an ATX motherboard based on Intel B860 designed for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors in the LGA1851 socket. It targets users who need a modern platform without stepping into the more expensive Z890 segment, while still offering a comprehensive set of networking and storage capabilities. The board supports up to 256 GB of DDR5 across four DIMM slots and frequencies up to 8666+ MT/s in OC mode. The power delivery system uses a 12+1+2+1 80A DrMOS design, making the ASUS TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI suitable for mid-range and enthusiast gaming and workstation builds. For storage, three M.2 slots are available — one operates on PCIe 5.0 x4, while the other two run on PCIe 4.0 x4, plus four SATA 6 Gbps ports. In expansion slots, the board features one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a graphics card, one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot operating in x4 mode, and one PCIe 4.0 x1 slot. The rear I/O panel includes USB 20 Gbps Type-C with DP Alt Mode, two USB 10 Gbps ports, several USB 5 Gbps ports, DisplayPort, HDMI, optical S/PDIF, BIOS FlashBack, Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. The board supports Q-Latch, Q-Release, Q-DIMM, and Q-Dashboard, comes with a pre-installed I/O shield, and includes the full TUF protection suite. The ASUS TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI makes logical sense as a platform for building a modern PC without paying for overclocking capabilities of higher-end chipsets, while still delivering current networking standards, PCIe 5.0 support, and excellent storage expandability.
