Gigabyte B860M Gaming X LGA 1851 mATX Motherboard (Intel B860, DDR5)

The Gigabyte B860M Gaming X is a Micro-ATX motherboard designed for Intel's LGA 1851 platform, pairing the mainstream Intel B860 chipset with modern DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 connectivity. Its compact mATX form factor makes it an appealing foundation for space-conscious gaming or productivity builds that still demand current-generation features. The board carries four dual-channel DDR5 memory slots, allowing builders to populate the board with DDR5 kits for improved bandwidth over previous DDR4 platforms. A single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with PCIe UD reinforcement supports the latest discrete graphics cards, ensuring the slot can handle heavier GPU installations without mechanical stress.

Built under Gigabyte's Gaming series umbrella, the B860M Gaming X targets builders who want reliable Intel 800-series compatibility in a smaller chassis without compromising on memory generation or expansion bandwidth. The Micro-ATX footprint fits standard mATX and most ATX cases, giving builders layout flexibility. Gigabyte backs this board with a three-year manufacturer warranty, providing confidence in long-term reliability. The board ships with a GTIN of 4719331867133 for straightforward identification.
