TUF GAMING B860M-PLUS WIFI

ASUS TUF GAMING B860M-PLUS WIFI takes all the essential elements of the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) and combines them with game-ready features and proven durability. Engineered with military-grade components, an upgraded power solution, and a comprehensive cooling system, this motherboard goes beyond expectations with rock-solid and stable performance for marathon gaming. TUF GAMING motherboards also undergo rigorous endurance testing to ensure that they can handle conditions where others may fail. This platform delivers the power and connectivity that advanced AI PC applications demand.

NPU Boost

The integrated NPU in Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows — and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.

Premium Power Design

Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel processors. The motherboard is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 12(80A) + 1(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80A each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance for both current and future Intel processors.

• Eight Layered PCB design: This multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
• ProCool Power Connectors: Compared to traditional power inputs, ASUS ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure full contact with PSU power cables. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and connector failure.
• TUF Components: TUF chokes deliver rock-solid power to the CPU, improving system stability. And TUF 5K black metallic capacitors provide 52% wider temperature tolerance and a 2.5X-longer lifespan than standard motherboard capacitors.
• Digi+VRM Control: The integrated Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, optimized for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.

DRAM Overclocking Performance

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of TUF GAMING motherboards. With the motherboard, you can extract all the potential out of your DDR5 modules, whether they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

• AEMP III: 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.

M.2 PCIe 5.0 Support

This motherboard also features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot to enjoy the fastest data transfers of up to 128 Gbps, and all M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds.

Cooler by Design

• Enlarged VRM Heatsinks: The extensive surface area of this heatsink covers the MOSFETs and chokes to improve thermal performance.
• Multiple Temperature Sources: Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 2+ or via the UEFI.
• Enlarged M.2 Heatsinks: All three M.2 slots have dedicated heatsinks to help keep M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures and ensure consistent performance and reliability.
• Superb PCH Heatsink: An expanded surface area for the chipset cooler maximizes system performance and heat dissipation.

Empowering Connection

This motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity with PCIe 5.0, rear USB 20Gbps Type-C® port, and front USB 10Gbps Type-C® connector.

• PCIe 5.0 for Graphics Card: PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of the PCIe bus.
• Rear USB 20Gbps Type-C® with DP Alt Mode: Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of external devices. This motherboard includes a USB 20Gbps Type-C® port on the rear I/O panel that delivers transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps. The port can also support external 4K DisplayPort video output.
• Front USB 10Gbps Type-C®: This motherboard features a USB 10Gbps Type-C® front panel connector for speedy data transfers of up to 10Gbps.

Ultrafast Networking

Provide a feature-packed high-performance gaming package, with ultrafast networking for smoother online gameplay.

• 2.5Gb Ethernet: On-board 2.5Gb Ethernet kicks your LAN connection up a notch by improving bandwidth speeds by up to 2.5X. Using your existing LAN cable, you can take advantage of this networking upgrade to reduce lag, experience smoother high-resolution video streams, and enjoy faster file transfers.
• WiFi 7: The next-gen WiFi 7 supports 160 MHz bandwidth in the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) ensures stable connections and low latency, supporting 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands for enhanced coverage and throughput.

Realtek 7.1 Surround Sound

The unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek for TUF GAMING B860M motherboards features an unprecedented 98 dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line out, providing pristine audio quality.

Outshine The Competition

ASUS Aura Sync offers synchronized lighting with other Aura Sync products, including motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, and peripherals.

Addressable Gen2 RGB Headers

Automatically optimize lighting effects for the number of LEDs present in compatible ARGB gear.
