Performance
Robust power design
Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel® Core™
Ultra Processors (Series 2). The PRIME B860M-A WIFI is designed to meet
the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 7(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A)
+ 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and
drivers into packages rated for up to 80 amperes each. This
configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and
performance for both current and future Intel® processors.
Enhanced Memory & Storage Performance
AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance
ASUS
Enhanced Memory Profile III (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 optimizes the clock driver and then the memory
frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and
stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-7600 or higher.
DIMM Fit
DIMM
Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes
individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential
issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system
stability. Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a
competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator
prioritizing rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations
tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.
Two M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)
The
PRIME B860M-A WIFI offers a total of two M.2 slots, including one that
supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, one that
supports 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load
times with OS or application drives.
Cooler by design
The
PRIME B860M-A WIFI motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard
heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig
stays cool and stable under intense workloads.
