Questions about this item

Should I pick the DDR5 8666 MT/s memory or a slower kit for this TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI combo?

The board supports up to 8666+ MT/s when overclocked with XMP or AEMP III profiles, so a high-speed DDR5 kit will run at its rated frequency if the memory controller on the Ultra 5 245K can sustain it; a slower kit will work fine but leaves headroom unused.

What does the 125 W base power of the Ultra 5 245K mean for my cooler choice?

The processor has a 125 W base power rating and no cooler in the box, so you need a CPU cooler rated for at least that TDP — preferably higher — to keep temperatures in check under sustained loads.

Which M.2 slot gives me PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds and what size drives fit?

The M.2_1 slot is wired to the CPU and runs at PCIe 5.0 x4, accepting 2280 drives; the other two slots run at PCIe 4.0 x4 and take 2280, 22110, 2242 or 2260 lengths.
