Socket LGA 1851 mATX board

The GIGABYTE B860M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E is an Intel B860 motherboard built for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It fits micro-ATX cases and provides four 288-pin DDR5 slots with a 256 GB maximum capacity. The board targets builders who want a compact platform with modern connectivity.

12+1+2+1 phase 60A VRM under load

A 12+1+2+1 phase design uses 60 A DrMOS stages for the VCORE and VCCSA rails plus a 40 A stage for VCCGT. MOSFET heatsinks and M.2 Thermal Guards dissipate heat during extended multi-core workloads. The digital twin VRM layout aims to keep voltage stable when all cores run at high frequency for long periods.

EZ-Latch slots and Wi-Fi EZ-Plug

PCIe EZ-Latch and M.2 EZ-Latch let you install a graphics card or up to three M.2 drives without tools. The Wi-Fi EZ-Plug simplifies antenna attachment for the WIFI6E and Bluetooth 5.3 module. Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports and a 2.5 GbE LAN port round out storage and networking.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the 12+1+2+1 phase 60A DrMOS VRM get when the board runs all day?

The 12 VCORE phases with 60A DrMOS and a dedicated MOSFET heatsink are designed to deliver steady power and manage thermals during sustained loads.

Which DDR5 memory kit must I already own to populate the four 288-pin slots?

Any DDR5 kit rated from 5600 up to 9200 MT/s with 1Rx8, 2Rx8 or 1Rx16 un-buffered DIMMs will work; the board supports up to 256 GB in dual-channel mode.

Will my existing PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD fit the third M.2 slot that shares bandwidth with the chipset?

Yes, the chipset-linked M.2 connector accepts 2280 or 2580 PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 drives, so a current PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD installs directly.
