The ASRock B860M Steel Legend WiFi motherboard is a Micro-ATX board built on the Intel B860 chipset and LGA1851 socket for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It offers four DDR5 slots up to 256GB, a PCIe 5.0 graphics slot and four M.2 slots including a Gen5 slot, plus Wi-Fi 6E and Thunderbolt 4, all in a compact size that fits mid and small towers.
The board measures 24.4 × 24.4 cm with a 2oz copper PCB for better power and heat spreading, in the familiar Steel Legend styling. It provides one 12V RGB header and three 5V ARGB headers for case fans and lighting, plus a thermistor header for monitoring system temperature.
The rear panel includes a 40Gb/s Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C port for fast transfers and external displays or devices, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, four USB 3.2 Gen1 and two USB 2.0 ports, plus LAN and a BIOS Flashback button. Its Micro-ATX size fits most Micro-ATX and ATX cases, and four SATA ports handle traditional drives.
M.2 Gen5 lets you install today's fastest SSDs with 128Gb/s of bandwidth. CUDIMM is a newer DDR5 module type with an onboard clock driver that helps reach higher speeds reliably. BIOS Flashback updates the BIOS from a USB drive with one button, with no CPU or memory installed.
It suits anyone building a smaller-than-ATX Intel Core Ultra system who still wants Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E and four M.2 slots, for gaming, work or content creation.
