Description
The GIGABYTE B860M AORUS ELITE WiFi6E ICE is a premium Micro ATX motherboard built for Intel’s next‑generation LGA1851 platform. Combining advanced performance features, robust connectivity, and stylish aesthetics, this board is ideal for gamers, creators, and tech enthusiasts building a compact yet powerful rig.
Next‑Gen Compatibility & Memory Support
At its core, the B860M AORUS ELITE ICE supports Intel’s LGA1851 socket, ready for current and upcoming CPU generations. With support for DDR5 memory, the board enables blazing-fast memory speeds with excellent efficiency. It offers dual-channel DDR5 support, with overclocking headroom for high-performance modules, making it suitable for intense multitasking, gaming, and creative workloads.
Compact Yet Feature‑Rich Design
Being a Micro ATX board, it packs essential features into a smaller form factor without sacrificing expandability:
- PCIe Expansion: A full PCIe 5.0 x16 slot supports modern GPUs with maximum bandwidth. Additional PCIe x1 slots provide room for networking cards, audio upgrades, or capture cards.
- Storage Options: Multiple M.2 NVMe slots (PCIe 5.0 / PCIe 4.0) allow ultra-fast boot drives, while several SATA III ports let you connect traditional SSDs or HDDs.
- I/O & Connectivity: The board includes USB 3.2, USB Type-C, HDMI/DisplayPort outputs (depending on CPU integrated graphics), and robust I/O shielding.
High-Speed Networking & Wireless
One of its standout features is WiFi 6E (802.11ax) support, unlocking ultra-fast wireless connectivity over the 6 GHz band. This enables low-latency gaming, smooth streaming, and fast file transfers without needing a separate network card. In addition, the board provides 2.5 GbE LAN, delivering high-speed wired networking when needed.
Thermal & Power Efficiency
To handle power delivery and cooling demands, the motherboard uses a reinforced multi-phase VRM design with efficient heatsinks. This ensures stable performance under load. M.2 Thermal Guards help keep SSDs cool during sustained usage. With support from Smart Fan 6, you can fine-tune fan curves and cooling profiles for CPUs, chassis fans, and liquid cooling components.
Aesthetics & Durability — The “ICE” Touch
The “ICE” variant adds a cooler visual flair. With frosty-white accents, premium heat-dissipation covers, and AORUS branding, it fits beautifully in white-themed or modern rigs. The board is backed by Ultra Durable™ construction—solid capacitors, reinforced slots, and ESD protections ensure long-lasting reliability.
BIOS & Software Enhancements
The UEFI BIOS is robust and feature-rich, with support for Q‑Flash Plus to update system firmware even without CPU or memory installed. The included RGB Fusion / AORUS software suite lets you customize lighting across headers, sync with other components, and adjust performance settings from within the OS. Diagnostic LEDs and EZ Debug tools simplify troubleshooting during setup and upgrades.
Ideal Use Cases
- Compact gaming rigs where space is limited but performance is essential
- Streamer / creator systems needing high-speed storage and connectivity
- Future-proof PC builds ready for Intel’s evolving generation of CPUs
- Stylized white / ice-themed builds looking for cohesive aesthetics
