Ready for Intel Core Ultra Series 2

This ASUS ROG STRIX motherboard uses the Intel B860 chipset and an LGA 1851 socket to support Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It provides four DDR5 slots for up to 256GB of memory with speeds reaching 9066 MT/s when overclocked. The board includes four M.2 slots and a robust 14+1+2+1 power stage design rated at 80A per stage.

Suits DDR5 builders needing WiFi 7

This board suits builders who want DDR5 memory, WiFi 7 connectivity, and Thunderbolt 4 in an ATX form factor. The 14+1+2+1 power delivery and large heatsinks support high-end CPUs. Buyers who need legacy display outputs beyond DisplayPort and HDMI or who require more than four M.2 slots should consider other options.

LGA 1851 socket defines CPU choice

The LGA 1851 socket is the single specification that determines compatibility; only Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors fit this motherboard. Memory support reaches 8600+ MT/s overclocked in dual-channel mode across four DIMM slots. Display outputs include DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB4 at 20Gbps over USB Type-C.
