- Micro-ATX (24.4 x 24.4 cm), 6 fan headers
Full features in a compact board
The B860M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E is for small-form-factor and Micro-ATX builds that do not want to give up features. You get a PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot, a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot from the CPU and two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots from the chipset, plus four SATA ports. The rear panel carries a USB4 Type-C port with DisplayPort, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports, and video outputs cover USB4, DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1 and a front HDMI for up to four displays. Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and 2.5GbE handle networking, and six fan headers are generous for a small board.
Trade-offs of the small size
A Micro-ATX layout leaves room for only one extra expansion slot, a PCIe 4.0 x4, so plan around a single graphics card plus one add-in card at most. The CPU-fed M.2 slot takes 2280 drives only, while the bottom chipset slot accepts longer 22110 and 25110 drives. B860 does not support CPU overclocking, but memory overclocking up to 9200 MT/s is available. GIGABYTE lists Windows 11 64-bit as the supported OS. Check your case for clearance around the graphics card if you plan to use the lower M.2 slots often.
