Power Scheme
A stable power supply is critical to maximize the performance of Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors. PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI is designed to meet the needs of processors with high core count. It features 8(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) power stages combining high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers in packages rated for up to 80 amps of current each. This configuration provides optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future Intel processors.
AEMP III for maximum DDR5 performance
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware that enables unrivaled memory performance with the latest CUDIMM modules. Through a two-phase complex tuning process, AEMP III optimizes the clock driver first and then the memory frequency. The result is an optimal balance between performance and stability, even at the latest DDR5-7600 speeds and beyond.
Two M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)
The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI offers a total of two M.2 slots, one supporting up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0 and the other 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This allows for faster booting and application loading from OS or application disks.
Cooler Compatibility
The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI motherboard features multiple built-in heatsinks and multiple hybrid fans to keep your system cool and stable under heavy loads.
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive fan control. In Auto Setup mode, all settings are customized with a single click. There is also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces the case fan speed to the minimum default setting to keep the system running quietly for light tasks. The fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
20Gbps USB port
USB ports support high-end systems equipped with peripherals, including a rear USB Type-C port with transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps.
PCIe 5.0 slot
The latest processors feature PCIe 5.0 support, doubling data transfer speeds over PCIe 4.0, improving signal integrity, backward compatibility with CEM connectors, and support for previous PCIe versions.
2.5Gb Ethernet
Built-in 2.5Gb Ethernet improves LAN connection speeds by increasing bandwidth by 2.5 times. Using your existing LAN cable, you can take advantage of this network upgrade to reduce latency, get smoother high-resolution video streams, and speed up file transfers.
WiFi 6E
Built-in WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. With three times more bandwidth than the 2.4/5/6 GHz band, WiFi 6E delivers ultrafast wireless networking with increased throughput and improved performance in dense wireless environments.
Aura Sync
Complete RGB lighting control for enthusiast systems, providing seamless synchronization with compatible equipment.
DIY friendly
The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI motherboard features EZ PC DIY innovations that simplify and speed up the PC assembly process, making it easy and convenient.
SafeSlot
PCIe 5.0 speed is twice as fast as PCIe 4.0. ASUS has adapted our SMT manufacturing for faster SafeSlot, a reinforced metal shell that enables secure card installation and faster data transfer speeds.
