Combo contents

This bundle pairs an ASUS TUF GAMING B860M-PLUS WIFI motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor and a tube of Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease. The board uses the Intel B860 chipset on a micro-ATX PCB and is built around the LGA 1851 socket for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs. It targets builders who want a ready-matched platform for AI-assisted workloads and high-refresh gaming without selecting parts separately.

Before ordering

Verify that your chassis accepts a micro-ATX board and provides clearance for the VRM heatsinks and the three onboard M.2 heatsinks. The CPU draws 125 W base power, so confirm your cooler is rated for that thermal load and that your power supply carries dual 8-pin EPS connectors for the board's ProCool headers. Memory must be DDR5 CUDIMM; the board offers four 288-pin slots supporting up to 192 GB in dual-channel mode at speeds up to 8800 MT/s when overclocked.

Sustained load behaviour

The 12+2+1 80 A DrMOS power stages and large VRM heatsinks are designed to maintain stable voltage delivery during extended compute sessions. All three M.2 slots — one PCIe 5.0 x4 and two PCIe 4.0 x4 — include dedicated heatsinks to throttle NAND temperatures under continuous read-write cycles. Fan Xpert 4 and hybrid fan headers allow custom curves that keep airflow proportional to actual component temperatures rather than short bursts.

Highlights

  • Ready for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors with LGA 1851 socket
  • 12+2+1 80A DrMOS power stages deliver stable CPU power
  • DDR5 memory support up to 8800 MT/s and 192 GB capacity
  • One PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot plus two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots with heatsinks
  • Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet for high-speed networking

Questions about this item

What comes in the ASUS TUF GAMING B860M-PLUS WIFI combo box and what must I buy separately?

The box contains the B860M-PLUS WIFI motherboard, an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor and Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease. You must buy DDR5 memory, storage drives, a graphics card, a CPU cooler, a power supply, a case and an operating system separately.

How do I choose between the three M.2 slots on the B860M-PLUS WIFI for my SSD?

M.2_1 supports PCIe 5.0 x4 and is the fastest slot for a 2280 drive. M.2_2 and M.2_3 run at PCIe 4.0 x4; M.2_2 accepts 2242, 2260 or 2280 lengths while M.2_3 takes 2280 only. All three have heatsinks.

What does the 8800 MT/s DDR5 rating mean once the Ultra 7 265K and motherboard are assembled?

8800 MT/s is an overclocked ceiling reachable with XMP or AEMP III modules and a capable cooler. Default JEDEC speeds will be lower; actual throughput depends on the memory kit, CPU silicon quality and BIOS tuning.
