Expert Features

  • Intel Core Ultra Series 2 Platform : The LGA 1851 socket supports compatible Intel Core Ultra Processors Series 2, creating a modern foundation for productivity, content creation, everyday computing and AI-assisted workloads.
  • Advanced AI PC Ready : ASUS positions the B860M-BRO for demanding AI applications, with current-generation Intel support, DDR5 memory, fast storage and ASUS AI Advisor software guidance.
  • DDR5 up to 8800+MT/s OC : Two DIMM slots support up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR5, including Intel XMP, CUDIMM compatibility, DIMM Fit and ASUS AEMP III memory optimisation.
  • PCIe 5.0 NVMe Storage : The primary M.2 slot supports PCIe 5.0 x4 bandwidth up to a theoretical 128Gbps, while the second M.2 slot supports PCIe 4.0 x4 up to 64Gbps.
  • PCIe 4.0 Graphics Expansion : One reinforced PCIe 4.0 x16 SafeSlot Core+ supports compatible graphics cards, with two PCIe 4.0 x1 slots available for additional expansion hardware.
  • Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet : Faster-than-Gigabit wired networking delivers stronger local transfers and network throughput when paired with compatible 2.5Gb routers, switches and cabling.
  • Rear USB 10Gbps Connectivity : One rear USB 10Gbps Type-A port handles higher-speed storage and peripherals, supported by two USB 5Gbps and three USB 2.0 connections.
  • Front USB Type-C Support : A USB 5Gbps front-panel Type-C connector lets compatible cases bring modern reversible connectivity directly to the desk.
  • HDMI and VGA Display Outputs : Connect modern HDMI displays or compatible legacy VGA monitors when using an Intel processor with supported integrated graphics. HDMI output reaches up to 4K at 30Hz.
  • 6+1+1+1 Digital Power Design : Discrete MOSFETs, DIGI+ VRM control and an eight-pin ProCool CPU power connector provide stable power delivery for everyday Core Ultra builds.
  • Fan Xpert 2+ Cooling Control : Automatic PWM/DC fan detection, temperature-source mapping and configurable profiles help balance cooling performance and acoustic comfort.
  • EZ PC DIY Features : SafeSlot Core+, Q-DIMM, Q-Slot, Q-LED Core, Q-Dashboard, CrashFree BIOS 3 and EZ Flash make assembly and troubleshooting less of a motherboard detective mission.
  • No Integrated Wireless : This model includes Realtek 2.5Gb wired Ethernet but does not list onboard WiFi or Bluetooth; wireless connectivity requires a separate compatible adapter.
