ROG STRIX B860-F Gaming WiFi

With NPU boosting and cutting-edge AI solutions, the ROG STRIX B860-F Gaming WiFi supports advanced AI PC applications. Featuring Thunderbolt™ 4, PCIe® 5.0, and Aura Sync lighting, it offers ultra-fast data transfer speeds, exceptional connectivity, and a versatile aesthetic that suits both bold and subtle styles.

NPU BOOST

The integrated NPU in Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows — and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.

DDR5 Strength

ROG has a rich history of delivering top-tier memory performance, and DDR5 is no exception. Enhanced signal routing can push enthusiast-grade kits well beyond the 9 GT/s threshold on the Strix B860, with even greater speeds on the horizon. For experienced users, the UEFI offers a wide range of options to fine-tune and push performance to its limits.

  • AEMP III: ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory.
  • DIMM FIT: DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues.

ROG STRIX ULTIMATE POWER DESIGN

  • 16+1+2+1 Power Stages: The VRM features 16+1+2+1 power stages, each rated to handle up to 80 amps.
  • ALLOY CHOKES AND DURABLE CAPACITORS: Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
  • EIGHT-LAYER PCB: A 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.

M.2 HEATSINKS

Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

VRM HEATSINK ARRAY

Two thick heatsinks covering the power delivery section provide strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while empowering high-performance Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2).

Leading Connectivity

  • WIFI 7: The revolutionary WiFi 7 is faster than standard WiFi 6*, thanks to tech like 160 MHz channels on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming, and industrial IoT.
  • Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet: Onboard Intel® 2.5Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, low-latency gaming, and high-res video streaming.
  • PCIE 5.0: The Strix B860-F offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support, with the topmost x16 expansion slot protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. One onboard M.2 slot is rated for blistering read and write speeds up to 16 GB/s, while the remainder can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. Every M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.
  • THUNDERBOLT 4 TYPE-C® PORT: The port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Besides, it can be employed for up to two external 4K displays, and PCIe bandwidth extends to up to 32 Gbps.
  • DOLBY ATMOS: ROG and Dolby® have partnered to bring superior gaming audio quality to users. Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, enabling immersive three-dimensional audio to be perceived from above, below, and around the listener.
  • SupremeFX: ROG SupremeFX blends hardware and software technologies for superior audio. The Strix B860-A implementation features the ALC1220P codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/192 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.

UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX

With colorful accents, Aura Sync lighting, and a sleek black PCB, the ROG Strix B860-F gives you a bold start to your rig, especially when complemented by similarly vibrant products in the ROG ecosystem.

OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION

ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.
