Robust Power Design

Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2). The PRIME B860M-A WIFI-CSM is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 7(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80 amperes each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance for both current and future Intel® processors.

  • Six-layer PCB design: The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
  • ProCool connector: Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard’s link to the power supply with an 8-pin connector that passes 12 volts of power directly to the processor. Each connector features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.
  • Power Saving: Optimize power with CPU, lighting, and fan settings.
  • Digi+ VRM control: The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.

AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory through a two-phase tuning process, optimizing the clock driver and memory frequency for peak performance and stability at DDR5-7600 or higher.

DIMM Fit

DIMM Fit analyzes memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues, ensuring peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability for overclockers, gamers, and content creators alike.

Two M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)

The PRIME B860M-A WIFI-CSM offers a total of two M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and another that supports 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling faster boot-up and app load times.

Cooler by Design

The PRIME B860M-A WIFI-CSM motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and hybrid fan headers for optimal cooling under intense workloads.

ASUS Fan Xpert 2+

Provides comprehensive fan control, including Auto-Tuning for parameter configuration, Extreme Quiet mode for reduced noise, and UEFI BIOS fan controls.

Empowering Connections

The PRIME B860M-A WIFI-CSM motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity, including support for WiFi 6E, the latest version of PCI Express, and numerous USB ports with Type-C connections.

  • WiFi 6E: Built-in WiFi 6E4 technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. With triple the bandwidth of the 2.4/5/6 GHz band, WiFi 6E delivers ultrafast wireless networking speeds with improved capacity and better performance in dense wireless environments.
  • USB 20Gbps port: A batch of USB ports supports high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a rear USB Type-C® port with transmission speeds of up to 20Gbps.
  • PCIe 5.0 slot: The latest processors introduce PCIe 5.0 support, doubling data transfer speeds compared to PCIe 4.0, enhancing signal integrity, and providing backward-compatible CEM connectors and support for previous PCIe versions.

Personalization
