The GIGABYTE B860M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E is a Micro ATX motherboard for Intel Core Ultra processors on Socket LGA 1851, built on the Intel B860 chipset. It suits compact gaming builds that want strong power delivery, three M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 6E and a USB4 port.

A twin hybrid digital 12+1+2+1 phase VRM with 60A DrMOS sits under fully covered MOSFET heatsinks. Four DDR5 slots support up to 256GB, with overclocked speeds of up to DDR5 9200. Storage includes one PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot, two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots and four SATA 6Gb/s ports, and networking comes from Realtek 2.5GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

Compatibility

Fits Intel Core Ultra processors for Socket LGA 1851 and uses DDR5 memory only. The Micro ATX (244 x 244 mm) board fits Micro ATX and larger cases. Good to know: this is the standard black version, not the white ICE edition; on-board video needs a processor with integrated graphics.
