A rear USB4 port, three M.2 slots and PCIe 5.0 graphics on a mid-priced Intel Core Ultra gaming board.
Quick Specs
- Intel B860 chipset, LGA1851 (Intel Core Ultra)
- 4 x DDR5 DIMM, up to 256GB, up to 9066 MT/s (O.C.)

- Rear USB4 Type-C with DisplayPort, HDMI 2.1, DP 2.1
- Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Realtek 2.5GbE, ATX
Built for Core Ultra gaming rigs
The B860 GAMING X WIFI6E targets Core Ultra 5 and Core Ultra 7 gaming builds. A PCIe 5.0 x16 slot takes your graphics card, and storage is well covered with a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot from the CPU, two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots from the chipset and four SATA ports. The standout over the B860 EAGLE WIFI6E is a rear USB4 Type-C port, which handles fast external SSDs, docks and DisplayPort video, giving up to three displays from integrated graphics. An internal USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C header suits cases with a 10Gbps front port, and six fan headers plus three ARGB Gen2 headers cover cooling and lighting.
What it does not do
B860 does not support CPU overclocking, so unlocked K-series owners who want to tune the processor should pick a Z890 board; memory overclocking up to 9066 MT/s is still available. The two extra full-length slots run at PCIe 4.0 x1, so they suit add-in cards rather than a second GPU. Wi-Fi is 6E, not Wi-Fi 7, which is fine for most home routers. GIGABYTE lists Windows 11 64-bit as the supported operating system. If you want Wi-Fi 7 and a white finish, look at the B860 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE.
