ASRock B860 Pro-A WiFi LGA1851 ATX Motherboard DDR5
The ASRock B860 Pro-A WiFi is an ATX motherboard built for stability and everyday computing. It supports Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors and DDR5 memory, with WiFi 6E connectivity and a full set of modern ports for straightforward system building.
Why this product
DDR5 memory with overclocking profiles
Supports up to DDR5 8666+ (OC) across four DIMM slots with Intel XMP 3.0 compatibility. Pre-tested profiles make overclocking accessible without expertise.
PCIe 5.0 for expansion
One PCIe 5.0 x16 slot from the CPU and one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot from the chipset cover high-bandwidth devices. Three M.2 sockets include one for PCIe Gen5 and two for Gen4 storage.
WiFi 6E and 2.5G Ethernet
802.11axe WiFi 6E plus Realtek 2.5G LAN provide both wireless and wired networking options at current speeds.
Comprehensive USB and audio
Fifteen USB ports in total (nine Gen1 plus one Gen2x2 Type-C), six USB 2.0, and a Realtek ALC897 7.1-channel audio codec cover peripherals and sound.
