The B860M-Plus WiFi gives you a PCIe 5.0 graphics slot, PCIe 5.0 primary M.2, four DDR5 slots and Wi-Fi 7 on a board that fits compact cases and cheaper mid-towers alike. For a South African buyer building a machine that has to do gaming, study work and the occasional render, this is a balanced, unfussy starting point that leaves budget for the graphics card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLimitations worth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB860 does not support CPU multiplier overclocking, so a K-series Core Ultra will run at stock; memory overclocking through XMP is still available. Micro-ATX means fewer expansion slots and fewer fan and RGB headers, and a large graphics card will usually block whatever slot sits below it. Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 is a Z890 feature and is not guaranteed here, and networking is 2.5 Gb rather than faster. Anyone planning heavy CPU overclocking, a capture card alongside the GPU or Thunderbolt storage should buy a Z890 board instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUF Gaming power stages with a large VRM heatsink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot with quick-release latch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 M.2 socket with tool-free heatsink plus additional M.2 storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth plus 2.5 Gb Realtek Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-mounted rear I\/O shield, Q-LED diagnostics and BIOS FlashBack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS TUF Gaming B860M-Plus WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: Intel B860\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: Intel Socket LGA1851\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: Micro-ATX (244 x 244 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 4 x DDR5 DIMM slots, up to 256 GB, Intel XMP support with high-speed overclocked profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 (graphics), plus additional PCIe slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Multiple M.2 sockets (primary supports PCIe 5.0) plus 4 x SATA 6 Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: Realtek 7.1 surround high-definition audio with audio shielding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: HDMI and DisplayPort output for integrated graphics, Wi-Fi antenna connectors, 2.5 Gb LAN, BIOS FlashBack button, audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C plus USB 3.2 Gen 2, Gen 1 and USB 2.0 ports, with front-panel headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUF Gaming B860M-Plus WiFi motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSATA 6 Gb\/s cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi moving antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 mounting screws, standoffs and thermal pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUF Gaming sticker and cable ties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser guide and driver documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASUS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASUS was among the first to ship stable Core Ultra BIOS releases and its Micro-ATX boards get the same lane allocation and firmware attention as the full-size ones.
