Gigabyte B860 EAGLE WiFi 6E Intel LGA 1851 ATX Motherboard

The Gigabyte B860 EAGLE WiFi 6E motherboard delivers robust performance for Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) on the LGA1851 socket platform. Engineered with a digital twin 12+1+2 phase VRM solution, this ATX motherboard ensures stable power delivery for demanding workloads and gaming sessions.

Advanced DDR5 Memory Architecture

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB of system memory with speeds reaching 9066 MT/s (O.C.), utilizing dual-channel architecture and XMP memory profiles. The D5 Bionic Corsa technology optimizes memory performance, while AI Perfdrive automatically configures BIOS settings for your specific system configuration.

High-Speed Storage Connectivity

Three M.2 sockets provide extensive storage expansion, including one PCIe 5.0 x4 slot for next-generation NVMe SSDs. Two additional M.2 slots support PCIe 4.0 x4 drives, while four SATA 6Gb/s connectors accommodate traditional storage devices. M.2 Thermal Guard heatsinks with EZ-Latch Click screwless design maintain optimal temperatures during intensive operations.

Comprehensive Expansion Options

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot supports high-performance graphics cards, complemented by two PCIe 4.0 x1 slots for additional expansion cards. EZ-Latch Plus technology enables tool-free installation and removal of PCIe components and M.2 drives.

Network and Wireless Performance

Realtek 2.5GbE LAN delivers multi-gigabit wired connectivity, while Intel WiFi 6E AX211 (or Realtek RTL8852CE depending on revision) provides wireless access across 2.4/5/6 GHz bands with Bluetooth 5.3. The WIFI EZ-Plug design simplifies antenna installation.

Display and USB Connectivity

Integrated graphics support includes one HDMI 2.1 port (4096x2160@60Hz) and one DisplayPort 2.1 (3840x2160@144Hz). USB connectivity features a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port on the rear panel, plus USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and multiple USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 ports across internal headers and back panel.

Thermal Management and Audio

VRM Thermal Armor Advanced ensures efficient heat dissipation from power delivery components. Realtek Audio CODEC supports up to 7.1-channel HD audio with S/PDIF output. Multiple fan and pump headers with intelligent speed control maintain system temperatures.

User-Friendly Features

Q-Flash Plus enables BIOS updates without CPU or memory installed. The fitted I/O shield streamlines installation, while addressable RGB Gen2 and standard RGB headers support customizable lighting. GIGABYTE Control Center provides unified system management across compatible hardware.
