Designed for Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2), it combines DDR5 memory support, PCIe expansion, high-speed storage, comprehensive wired and wireless networking, integrated audio and a wide selection of external and internal connections. Its 14+1+2+1 phase power design with 80A power stages is intended to provide the electrical foundation required for demanding gaming and high-performance computing workloads, while Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and NPU Boost are among its supported hardware technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMemory support is provided through four 288-pin DIMM slots accommodating up to 256 GB of DDR5 SDRAM. The board supports non-ECC, unbuffered and clocked unbuffered memory, together with a dual-channel memory architecture. Its memory-related technologies include Intel Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP), ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) III and CUDIMM support, with a specified bus clock of 4300 MHz when overclocked. These capabilities provide a flexible platform for configuring DDR5 memory according to the requirements of a compatible Intel Core Ultra Series 2 system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage can be configured through four SATA-600 ports and four M.2 sockets, providing a combination of conventional SATA connectivity and PCIe-based M.2 storage. One M.2 connection operates through PCIe 5.0, while three use PCIe 4.0. The available M.2 socket formats include two sockets for 2280 M.2 Key M devices, one supporting 2242, 2260 and 2280 Key M devices, and another supporting 2280 and 22110 Key M devices. SATA storage supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10, and Intel Rapid Storage Technology is also supported. ASUS M.2 Q-Latch, M.2 Q-Release and M.2 Q-Slide features are incorporated to assist with M.2 installation and management, while an M.2 heatsink and M.2 heatsink backplate contribute to the board's storage cooling arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpansion capability includes one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot operating in x4 mode, in addition to the CPU socket, four DIMM slots and four M.2 sockets. ASUS SafeSlot, SafeDIMM, Q-Slot, Q-DIMM and other ASUS Q-Design features are incorporated into the motherboard. The board also includes ASUS EZ DIY functionality, a CPU socket lever protector, a pre-mounted I\/O shield and multiple installation-focused features intended to make system assembly and component handling more convenient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal connectivity covers both modern high-bandwidth interfaces and connections for common peripherals. The rear interfaces include one USB4 port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and four USB 2.0 ports. Internal headers add one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers and two USB 2.0 headers, along with an audio header and a Thunderbolt 4 header. HDMI and DisplayPort connections are provided for onboard graphics functionality when used with a processor that supplies the required graphics capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNetworking options include Wi-Fi 7 supporting the 802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac\/ax\/be standards, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.4. Two aerial connections are provided, and the supplied ASUS Wi-Fi Q-antenna complements the motherboard's wireless networking hardware. This combination allows the system to use either high-speed wired networking or compatible wireless connections while also supporting Bluetooth peripherals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio is handled by an eight-channel HD Audio implementation based on the Realtek ALC1220P codec. It complies with High Definition Audio standards and supports Dolby Atmos, providing integrated audio for gaming and multimedia use. Physical audio connectivity includes a microphone mini-jack, an audio line-out mini-jack and an SPDIF output, while an internal audio header is also available for system integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooling and power delivery are supported by a VRM heatsink design, M.2 heatsink and M.2 heatsink backplate. The motherboard uses ASUS Extreme Engine Digi+, 5K Black Metallic Capacitors, ASUS ProCool technology and a 14+1+2+1 phase power architecture with an 80A power stage. Power is supplied through a 24-pin main motherboard connector and two 8-pin ATX12V connectors. These elements form part of the board's power and thermal design for maintaining operation during intensive system use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motherboard also incorporates ASUS Aura Sync for customizable RGB lighting, allowing its lighting functionality to be coordinated within a compatible ASUS Aura Sync setup. Additional onboard and maintenance features include a Clear CMOS button, BIOS FlashBack button and BIOS FlashBack LED, along with Q-Antenna, Q-Dashboard, Q-LED and Q-Release Slim functionality. The BIOS is an AMI implementation with UEFI BIOS support, ASUS EZ Flash and ASUS UEFI BIOS EZ Mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASUS ROG Strix B860-A Gaming WiFi measures 30.5 cm wide by 24.4 cm deep and uses the ATX form factor. It is supplied in a box with an ASUS Wi-Fi Q-antenna, two Serial ATA cables, cable ties, an M.2 Q-Latch, an M.2 Q-Slide, a ROG key chain, a ROG Strix sticker and four M.2 rubbers. The included software selection comprises Armoury Crate, ROG CPU-Z, ASUS Fan Xpert 4, HWiNFO, ASUS AI Advisor, ASUS DriverHub, ASUS GlideX and TurboV Core, as well as time-limited versions of AIDA64 Extreme for 60 days, Adobe Creative Cloud for one month, Norton 360 for Gamers for 60 days and WinRAR for 40 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct name: ASUS ROG Strix B860-A Gaming WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel \/ manufacturer
