B860M AYW GAMING WIFI
ASUS B860 series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2). The B860M AYW GAMING WIFI motherboard provides users and PC DIY builders with a range of performance optimizations via intuitive software and firmware features. It’s designed to be Advanced AI PC-ready, offering the power and connectivity needed for demanding AI applications.
Digital Power Design
Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2).The B860M AYW GAMING WIFI features an 6+1+1+1 phase design with discrete MOSFETs, ensuring efficient and stable power delivery for Intel® processors plus steady performance for day-to-day use.
AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance
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. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-7600 or higher.
DIMM Fit
DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.
Two M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)
B860M AYW GAMING WIFI offers a total of two M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, one that supports 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.3
Cooler by design
The B860M AYW GAMING WIFI motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans. An Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
WiFi 6
The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 1.2Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6.4
High Speed Transferring
Numerous USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a rear USB Type-A port with transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps and a front USB Type-C® connector with ultrafast USB 5Gbps for transmission speeds of up to 5Gbps.
Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet
Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfers.
