Asus PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI LGA1851 ATX Motherboard DDR5 ASUS-B860-PLUS-WIFI-PRIME

[features] ASUS PRIME series motherboards are meticulously engineered to unlock the full potential of the latest Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2). With a robust power architecture; advanced cooling solutions; and intelligent tuning capabilities; the PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI motherboard offers PC enthusiasts and DIY builders a comprehensive suite of performance-enhancing features via intuitive software and firmware. Designed to be Advanced AI PC-ready; it delivers the power and connectivity required for demanding AI workloads. PCIe 5.0 Support The latest generation of processors introduces support for PCIe 5.0; effectively doubling data transfer rates compared to PCIe 4.0. This upgrade enhances signal integrity and maintains backwards compatibility with CEM connectors and previous PCIe standards. Dual M.2 Slots (up to 128 Gbps) The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI features two M.2 slots; one of which supports data transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbps via PCIe 5.0; while the other supports up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This facilitates significantly faster system boot-up and application loading times when using high-speed SSDs. DIMM Fit / DIMM Fit Pro DIMM Fit is an exclusive ASUS BIOS feature that intelligently analyses installed memory modules to optimise performance and identify potential issues. For advanced users; DIMM Fit Pro offers extensive customisation options for memory tuning; allowing control over up to twenty overclocking parameters. Users can define testing ranges and prioritise either stability or performance; providing a granular and flexible approach to memory configuration.
WiFi 6E Connectivity Equipped with built-in WiFi 6E technology; the motherboard leverages the newly available 6 GHz spectrum. Offering triple the bandwidth across the 2.4 GHz; 5 GHz; and 6 GHz bands; WiFi 6E enables ultra-fast wireless networking; increased capacity; and improved performance in high-density environments. AEMP III: Unlocking Ultimate DDR5 Performance ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware tool designed to maximise the performance of high-speed CUDIMM DDR5 memory. Employing a two-phase tuning process—first optimising the clock driver; then the memory frequency—AEMP III delivers an ideal balance between performance and stability; even at extreme speeds such as DDR5-7600 and beyond. Robust Power Architecture Reliable power delivery is essential for extracting the best performance from Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2). The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI features an advanced power design comprising 8 (80A) + 1 (80A) + 1 (80A) + 1 (80A) power stages. Each stage integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers rated for up to 80 amperes; ensuring efficient; stable; and high-performance power delivery for both current and future Intel CPUs.
