MSI B860M Gaming Wifi7 DDR5 Intel Motherboard ( White )

The MSI B860M Gaming WiFi 7 DDR5 motherboard in white is a Micro-ATX platform built for Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors using the LGA1851 socket and B860 chipset. It pairs the efficiency and feature set of the B860 platform with a clean white aesthetic, making it an attractive choice for themed builds without compromising on modern connectivity standards. At the heart of its connectivity is Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless support alongside a Realtek 5G wired LAN port, delivering high-throughput, low-latency networking for demanding online gaming sessions. A USB 20Gbps Type-C port on the rear I/O panel ensures fast peripheral and storage device connections, complemented by USB 5Gbps Type-A ports and standard USB 2.0 outputs. The board features a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot sourced directly from the CPU, enabling compatibility with the latest generation of graphics cards, and a secondary PCIe 4.0 x4 slot from the chipset for additional expansion. Storage is handled by PCIe Gen 5 x4 M.2 support, so ultra-fast NVMe SSDs can be accommodated. An onboard M.2 Shield Frozr thermal solution helps keep storage devices within safe operating temperatures during sustained workloads. Memory support reaches up to 128 GB of DDR5 across two dual-channel slots, with speeds officially rated to DDR5-9066+ MT/s via overclocking. The board is compatible with Intel XMP 3.0 profiles and CUDIMM modules, and supports MSI’s Memory Extension Mode for fine-tuned latency and frequency configuration. The power delivery system employs an 8+1+1+1 P-PAK design paired with an 8-pin CPU power connector and MSI’s Core Boost technology to sustain stable voltages under extended gaming loads. A 6-layer PCB provides additional signal integrity. For builders and enthusiasts, EZ DIY 2.0 features include EZ M.2 Clip II for tool-free M.2 drive installation, EZ PCIe Clip II for easier GPU removal, and an EZ Antenna connector. Three ARGB V2 headers and one standard RGB header allow lighting synchronisation with compatible components through MSI Center software. Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are fitted across the board as a protection measure against sudden voltage spikes. An anti-corrosive stainless steel I/O shield is pre-installed to reduce electromagnetic interference. **Verified Specifications** – Model: B860M-GAMING-WIFI7 – Form Factor: Micro-ATX – Socket: LGA1851 – Chipset: Intel B860 – CPU Support: Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) – Memory: 2× DDR5 DIMM, Dual Channel, up to 128 GB, DDR5-9066+ MT/s (OC), XMP 3.0, CUDIMM – Expansion: 1× PCIe 5.0 x16 (CPU), 1× PCIe 4.0 x4 (Chipset) – Display Output: 1× HDMI, 1× DisplayPort – Networking: Realtek 5G LAN, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 – Rear USB: USB 20Gbps Type-C, USB 5Gbps Type-A, USB 2.0 – Internal USB Headers: 4× USB 2.0, 2× USB 5Gbps Type-A, 1× USB 10Gbps Type-C – RGB Headers: 3× ARGB V2 (JARGB_V2), 1× RGB (JRGB) – Power Connectors: 24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, 8-pin PCIe supplemental – Warranty: 3 Years
