ASROCK B860I WiFi
ASROCK B860I WiFi
The ASROCK B860I WiFi is a compact Mini-ITX motherboard designed for the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 2) processors. It offers an 8+1+1 power phase design with Smart Power Stage (SPS) technology, support for DDR5 memory up to 8933+ MHz (OC), and a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface for graphics cards. Connectivity is handled by a combination of Wi-Fi 6E (802.11axe), Bluetooth, Realtek 2.5G LAN, and Intel® Gigabit LAN, ensuring fast and stable data transfers. For expansion devices, the board is equipped with modern connectivity, including USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C (20Gb/s) and other USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 ports. HDMI and DisplayPort graphics outputs allow you to use the processor's integrated graphics. Audio is powered by the Realtek ALC897 HD Audio Codec with Nahimic Audio technology, which provides clear surround sound and noise cancellation features. The overall design is complemented by support for POLYCHROME RGB lighting and SignalRGB synchronisation software, making it easy to customise your system's look.

Stable power delivery and quality construction
The board uses a combination of an 8+1+1 Power Phase Design and SPS technology, which intelligently monitors the current and temperature of each phase. This ensures smooth power delivery to the processor, higher efficiency, and stability under load and when overclocking. The Hi-Density Power connectors are designed to handle higher current loads, minimising heat and the risk of damage. Overall reliability is enhanced by the 8-layer PCB, which contributes to lower temperatures and more efficient signal transfer.
Next-generation memory and storage
The ASROCK B860I WiFi supports DDR5 memory with Intel® XMP and AMD EXPO profiles, which enables easy performance boosts without manual tuning. For storage, there are two M.2 slots available – one Blazing M.2 (PCIe Gen5x4) and one Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4x4). These are complemented by four SATA III ports, providing extensive options for connecting traditional drives. This makes the board an ideal choice for compact gaming and work setups with fast data access.

Choosing a motherboard
When choosing a motherboard (or mainboard), it is important to pay particular attention to the motherboard's socket type, format, and chipset. These are the most crucial parameters, ensuring the board is compatible with the processor, expansion cards and other components. The specific socket determines the choice of a suitable processor, while the remaining connectors dictate which other components you'll need for your future PC.Specifications
