The sensible ROG board for a Core Ultra build that spends its money on the GPU
Quick Specs
- Intel B860 chipset, Socket LGA1851 for Core Ultra Series 2 processors
- ATX form factor with four DDR5 DIMM slots
- PCIe 5.0 x16 primary graphics slot
- Multiple M.2 sockets with PCIe 5.0 support for the primary drive
- Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet onboard
Core Ultra without paying the Z890 tax
Intel's Core Ultra 200S chips are locked-multiplier parts for most buyers anyway, which makes B860 the honest choice. The B860-F gives you the same ROG Strix build quality, the same PCIe 5.0 graphics and storage, the same Wi-Fi 7 radio and the same rear I/O density as the Z-series boards, and asks a few thousand rand less. For a South African buyer putting together a Core Ultra 7 gaming machine, that difference is a meaningful GPU upgrade. Memory overclocking is still supported through XMP, so a fast DDR5 kit will run at its rated speed rather than falling back to JEDEC.
Where B860 draws the line
CPU multiplier overclocking is a Z890 feature and it is not here. If you bought a K-series part specifically to push it past stock, this is the wrong board. B860 also has fewer chipset lanes than Z890, so you get less expansion downstream once the M.2 sockets are filled, and Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 is generally reserved for the higher tier. There is no second full-bandwidth x16 slot. Buyers running a capture card, a 10 Gb NIC and four NVMe drives, or anyone chasing a CPU overclocking record, should be looking at the Z890-H or Z890-E instead.

Questions
Before you buy
Which processors fit this board?
It takes LGA1851 processors on the B860 chipset. Socket and chipset together decide what will run: the socket has to match physically, and the chipset decides which generations on that socket are supported. For a chip released after the board, check the manufacturer’s CPU support list to see whether a BIOS update is needed first.
Which cases will this board fit?
It is ATX. A case supports its own size and anything smaller - an ATX case takes ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX boards, a Micro-ATX case takes Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX. Each case we sell lists the board sizes it accepts under Specifications.
What memory does it take?
DDR5 across 4 slots, up to 256GB in total. DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable - the notch in the module is in a different place, so the wrong type will not seat. Buy the memory as a matched kit rather than as single sticks wherever you can.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
