Overview
The GIGABYTE B860I Aorus Pro ICE is a compact Mini-ITX motherboard designed for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors on the LGA1851 socket, powered by the Intel B860 Express Chipset. Despite its 17 cm × 17 cm footprint, it delivers a feature set that rivals larger form-factor boards, making it an ideal choice for small-form-factor PC builders who refuse to compromise on performance. At the heart of the power delivery is a digital 8+1+2 phase VRM solution — eight 80 A DrMOS phases for VCORE, one 40 A phase for VCCGT (integrated GPU), and two 80 A phases for VCCSA — ensuring stable power for multi-core workloads and memory-intensive tasks. The VRM Thermal Armor Advanced heatsink and M.2 Thermal Guard work together to keep temperatures in check under sustained loads. Memory support spans two DDR5 DIMM slots in dual-channel configuration, accommodating up to 128 GB (64 GB per DIMM). Native speeds start at DDR5-5600/6400 MT/s, with XMP overclocking support reaching up to DDR5-9200 (O.C.). The AI PerfDrive feature applies pre-optimised BIOS profiles automatically, while the DDR5 XMP Booster streamlines overclocking without manual timing entry. Storage is handled by one PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot (CPU-direct) and one PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot on the board's reverse side (chipset), complemented by two SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1 support. The single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot accommodates a full-length graphics card. Connectivity is equally strong: Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be, 2.4/5/6 GHz, 160 MHz), Bluetooth 5.4, and a Realtek 2.5 GbE LAN port cover wired and wireless networking. The rear panel features one Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 Type-C port (supporting DisplayPort and up to 5120×2880 @ 60 Hz on a TB4 monitor), one DisplayPort 2.1 (up to 3840×2160 @ 144 Hz), one HDMI 2.1 port (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz), three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. Assembly is simplified through EZ-Latch Plus (screwless PCIe and M.2 slot release), EZ-Latch Click (screwless M.2 heatsink removal), WIFI EZ-Plug (tool-free antenna attachment), an EZ Debug Zone with dedicated LEDs, a DRAM Indicator LED, and Q-Flash Plus for BIOS updates without a CPU or RAM installed. Two addressable RGB Gen 2 headers enable lighting customisation. The board ships with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and runs Windows 11 64-bit.
