Full description and specifications

An AORUS Micro-ATX board that fits three M.2 slots, USB4 and up to four displays into a 24.4cm square.

Quick Specs

  • Intel B860 chipset, LGA1851 (Intel Core Ultra)
  • 4 x DDR5 DIMM, up to 256GB, up to 9200 MT/s (O.C.)
  • PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, 1 x M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 + 2 x M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4
  • Rear USB4 Type-C, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, 2.5GbE
  • 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.

FEATURES:

  • PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot and PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 from the CPU
  • Three M.2 slots and four SATA ports on Micro-ATX

Questions

Before you buy

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.
