Combo contents

This bundle pairs an ASUS TUF GAMING B860M-PLUS WIFI motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor and a tube of Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease. The board uses the Intel B860 chipset on a micro-ATX PCB and is built around the LGA 1851 socket for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs. It targets builders who want a ready-matched platform for AI-assisted workloads and high-refresh gaming without selecting parts separately.

Before ordering

Verify that your chassis accepts a micro-ATX board and provides clearance for the VRM heatsinks and the three onboard M.2 heatsinks. The CPU draws 125 W base power, so confirm your cooler is rated for that thermal load and that your power supply carries dual 8-pin EPS connectors for the board's ProCool headers. Memory must be DDR5 CUDIMM; the board offers four 288-pin slots supporting up to 192 GB in dual-channel mode at speeds up to 8800 MT/s when overclocked.

Sustained load behaviour

The 12+2+1 80 A DrMOS power stages and large VRM heatsinks are designed to maintain stable voltage delivery during extended compute sessions. All three M.2 slots — one PCIe 5.0 x4 and two PCIe 4.0 x4 — include dedicated heatsinks to throttle NAND temperatures under continuous read-write cycles. Fan Xpert 4 and hybrid fan headers allow custom curves that keep airflow proportional to actual component temperatures rather than short bursts.

Questions about this item

What comes in the ASUS TUF GAMING B860M-PLUS WIFI combo box and what must I buy separately?

The box contains the B860M-PLUS WIFI motherboard, an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor and Shin-Etsu X-23-7868-2D thermal grease. You must buy DDR5 memory, storage drives, a graphics card, a CPU cooler, a power supply, a case and an operating system separately.

How do I choose between the three M.2 slots on the B860M-PLUS WIFI for my SSD?

M.2_1 supports PCIe 5.0 x4 and is the fastest slot for a 2280 drive. M.2_2 and M.2_3 run at PCIe 4.0 x4; M.2_2 accepts 2242, 2260 or 2280 lengths while M.2_3 takes 2280 only. All three have heatsinks.

What does the 8800 MT/s DDR5 rating mean once the Ultra 7 265K and motherboard are assembled?

8800 MT/s is an overclocked ceiling reachable with XMP or AEMP III modules and a capable cooler. Default JEDEC speeds will be lower; actual throughput depends on the memory kit, CPU silicon quality and BIOS tuning.
