The ASRock B860 Lightning WiFi motherboard is an ATX board built on the Intel B860 chipset and LGA1851 socket, made for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It combines DDR5 memory, a PCIe 5.0 graphics slot and a Gen5 M.2 slot with Wi-Fi 6E and Killer 2.5G networking, giving a solid base for a modern gaming or work PC at B860 pricing.
The board uses the standard ATX size (30.5 × 24.4 cm) with a 2oz copper PCB for better power and heat spreading, large heatsinks over the power stages and 20K long-life capacitors. It offers one 12V RGB header and three 5V ARGB headers with Polychrome SYNC and SignalRGB support to control the lighting in your build.
The rear panel offers one 40Gb/s Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, four USB 3.2 Gen1 and three USB 2.0 ports, plus HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 for the CPU's integrated graphics. For front-panel ports there is a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C header and USB 3.2 Gen1 and USB 2.0 headers. The board also has two 8-pin CPU power connectors, two CPU fan headers, five chassis fan headers and an AIO pump header.
PCIe 5.0 is the newest link generation and doubles bandwidth over Gen4 for modern graphics cards and SSDs. BIOS Flashback lets you update the BIOS from a USB drive with one button, even with no CPU or memory installed, which helps when installing a newer processor. Wi-Fi 6E adds the less crowded 6GHz band for faster, steadier wireless.
It suits anyone building a gaming or work PC around an Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7 who wants Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E and four M.2 slots without paying for a Z890 board, especially if CPU overclocking is not a priority.
