For Those Who Dare
The ASUS
ROG STRIX B860-G GAMING WIFI is a high-performance motherboard designed
for gamers and enthusiasts, featuring the Intel B860 chipset and
supporting Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors via the LGA 1851 socket.
It includes four DDR5 memory slots, allowing up to 192 GB of RAM with
overclocking capabilities up to 9066 MT/s. The board offers extensive
storage options with multiple M.2 slots, supporting both PCIe 5.0 and
4.0, as well as SATA 6Gb/s ports. Networking is enhanced with Intel
2.5Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7, providing fast and stable connections. The
motherboard also provides various premium features, including quality
audio components with high-grade capacitors, a range of USB ports -
including Thunderbolt 4 and USB 20Gbps - advanced VRM cooling and
ASUS-exclusive software, for customisation and optimisation.
NPU Boost
The
integrated NPU in Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently
accelerates AI workflows, improving performance and increasing
producitivty but NPU Boost lets you do even more with it. This BIOS
feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance
by up to 24%.
Asynchronous Clock
For
next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Strix B860-F features a
built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, NPU,
D2D and NGU. Drive memory, NPU and others performance to their absolute
brink while maintaining the stability of CPU clock domains. Separate CPU
BCLK from other domains for unfettered overclocking.
Connect without
Compromise
The Strix
B860-G offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support, and the single, x16 expansion
slot is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight
of the latest graphics cards. One onboard M.2 slot is rated for
blistering read and write speeds up to 16 GB/s, while the remainder can
still deliver impressive 8 GB/s transfers. Every M.2 slot is covered
with substantial heatsinks to dissipate the heat of next-gen drives.
Additionally, Thunderbolt 4 connectivity delivers up to 40 Gbps of
bi-directional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives.
It can be employed for up to two external 4K displays, and PCIe
bandwidth extends to up to 32 Gbps.
The revolutionary Wi-Fi 7
is faster than standard Wi-Fi 6, thanks to features such as 160 MHz
channels on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO)
provides a more stable Wi-Fi connection and lower latency, with dual
transceivers supporting the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands to enable faster
throughput, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and
cover greater distances. ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and
software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix B860-G
implementation features the ALC1220P codec for high-resolution playback
up to 32-bit/192 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed
through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity
acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.
High-Speed DDR5
ROG has a
rich history of delivering top-tier memory performance, and DDR5 is no
exception. Enhanced signal routing can push enthusiast-grade kits well
beyond the 9 GT/s threshold on the Strix B860-G, with even greater
speeds on the horizon. For experienced users, the UEFI offers a wide
range of options to fine-tune and push performance to its limits.
ASUS Enhanced
Memory Profile
AEMP III
is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve
unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through
a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimises the
clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best
balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds
of DDR5-8000 or higher.
M.2 Heatsinks
Heatsinks
cover every slot both above the main PCIe slot, and below, to help keep
onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and
reliability.
VRM Heatsink Array
Two thick
heatsinks covering the power delivery section provide strategic airflow
channels for increased heat dissipation while empowering
high-performance Intel Core Ultra Processors.
CPU Fan and AIO
Pump Fan Headers
A
dedicated pair of PWM fan headers provide easy access to power for big
CPU coolers, with another dedicated PWM header available for connecting
self-contained AIO water-cooling setups.
4-Pin Fan Headers
The Strix
B860-F features four chassis fan headers, each supporting auto-detection
of PWM or DC fans, for worry-free, reliable system cooling.
