Overview:

ASUS PRIME series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of the latest Intel CoreUltra Processors (Series 2). Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, the PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI motherboard provides users and PC DIY builders with a range of performance optimizations via intuitive software and firmware features. It's designed to be Advanced AI PC-ready, offering the power and connectivity needed for demanding AI applications.

Robust power design
Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel CoreUltra Processors (Series 2). The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 8(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80 amperes each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future Intel processors.

AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-7600 or higher.

DIMM Fit
DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.

Two M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)
The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI offers a total of two M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, one that support 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

Cooler by design
The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

ASUS Fan Xpert 2+
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans. An Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

Empowering connections
This motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity, including support for WiFi 6E, PCIe 5.0 slot and an arsenal of USB ports which includes Type-C connections.

• WiFi 6E
• 2.5Gb Ethernet
• PCIe 5.0
• PCIe 5.0 slot
• USB 20Gbps

WiFi 6E
Built-in WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. With triple the bandwidth of the 2.4/5/6 GHz band, WiFi 6E delivers ultrafast wireless networking speeds with improved capacity and better performance in dense wireless environments.

USB 20Gbps port
A batch of USB ports supports high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a rear USB Type-C port with transmission speeds of up to 20Gbps.

PCIe 5.0 slot
The latest processors introduce PCIe 5.0 support, doubling data transfer speeds compared to PCIe 4.0, enhancing signal integrity, and providing backward-compatible CEM connectors and support for previous PCIe versions.

Personalization
The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI enhances the user experience across the board, from simplifying BIOS setting adjustments to offering customizable RGB lighting controls for a uniquely personal system aesthetic.

DIY friendly
The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI motherboard features EZ PC DIY innovations that simplify and speed up the PC building process, making DIY easy and convenient.

Q-Antenna
With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.
