TUF Gaming B860M-Plus mATX motherboard

The ASUS TUF GAMING B860M-PLUS is an Intel B860 mATX board built for LGA 1851 processors. It supports 12th to 14th Gen Intel Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs with a 12+1+2+1 phase 80A DrMOS VRM, dual ProCool 8+8-pin power connectors and an 8-layer PCB. DDR5 memory is optimised up to 7600+ MT/s via AEMP III with reinforced SafeDIMM slots.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This board suits builders wanting a compact mATX platform with three M.2 slots, one PCIe 5.0 x4 at 128Gbps and two PCIe 4.0 x4 at 64Gbps, each with a dedicated heatsink. It adds 2.5Gb Ethernet, rear USB 20Gbps Type-C with DP Alt Mode and a front USB 10Gbps Type-C header. Buyers needing more than three M.2 slots, a full-size ATX layout or integrated Wi-Fi should consider other options.

PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with 128Gbps bandwidth

The primary M.2 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x4 delivering 128Gbps throughput, making it the key spec for users targeting the fastest available consumer SSDs. The two secondary slots operate at PCIe 4.0 x4 with 64Gbps each. All three slots include dedicated heatsinks and the M.2 Q-Latch tool-free mechanism. PCIe Slot Q-Release and three Addressable Gen2 RGB headers complete the feature set.

Questions about this item

Will the LGA 1851 socket accept the 12th-14th Gen Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors I already own?

Yes, the board is Intel Core Ultra-Ready and supports 12th-14th Gen Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors in the LGA 1851 socket.

How can I verify the DDR5-7600+(OC) speeds are active after enabling AEMP III?

Enter the BIOS and confirm the memory frequency reads DDR5-7600 or higher; DIMM Fit Pro tuning and reinforced SafeDIMM slots help maintain stability at those speeds.

Does the package include screws for the three M.2 slots or must I source them separately?

The M.2 Q-Latch mechanism secures drives without screws, and dedicated heatsinks are pre-installed on all three slots — one PCIe 5.0 x4 (128Gbps) and two PCIe 4.0 x4 (64Gbps).
