Gigabyte B860 Gaming X WiFi 6E LGA 1851 ATX Motherboard

The Gigabyte B860 Gaming X WiFi 6E is an ATX form-factor motherboard built on the Intel B860 chipset and the LGA 1851 socket, designed to support Intel's latest processor generation. Its full-size ATX layout accommodates four DDR5 memory slots in a dual-channel configuration, giving builders ample headroom for high-capacity or high-bandwidth memory kits. The primary expansion slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 with Gigabyte's PCIe UD (Ultra Durable) reinforced slot design, providing robust mechanical support for heavy graphics cards and full bandwidth for next-generation GPUs. Wireless connectivity is handled by an integrated Wi-Fi 6E adapter, which operates across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands for faster throughput and reduced congestion compared to earlier Wi-Fi standards. This makes the board a practical choice for gaming desktops where a wired Ethernet run is not convenient. The board ships in a black colour scheme consistent with the Gigabyte Gaming series aesthetic. A three-year warranty from Gigabyte covers the product, which is a reasonable protection period for a platform component intended to serve as the foundation of a multi-year build. Because the B860 chipset sits below the Z890 tier, overclocking of the processor is not supported on this platform, but DDR5 memory profiles such as XMP may be available subject to Gigabyte's BIOS implementation — buyers should confirm supported memory speeds in the official QVL before purchasing. The LGA 1851 socket is not backward-compatible with processors designed for LGA 1700, so pairing with a supported Intel CPU is essential.
