Asynchronous Clock
For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Strix B860-I features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, NPU, D2D and NGU. Drive memory, NPU and others performance to their absolute brink while maintaining the stability of CPU clock domains. Separate CPU BCLK from other domains for unfettered overclocking.
DDR5 DOMINATION
Enhanced signal routing can push enthusiast-grade kits well beyond the 9 GT/s threshold on the Strix B860-I.
AEMP III
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory.
DIMM FIT
DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues.
PCIE 5.0
The Strix B860-I offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support, and the topmost x16 expansion slot is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. One onboard M.2 slot is rated for blistering read and write speeds up to 16 GB/s, while the remainder can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. And every M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.
UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX
The ROG Strix B860-I features a sleek, minimalist design that blends effortlessly with various system components. Its deep black PCB and metallic heatsinks give it a bold, intense look, while the L-shaped backplate adds both style and practical protection against sharp edges.
NPU BOOST
The integrated NPU in Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows — and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.
M.2 HEATSINKS
Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
VRM HEATSINK
The VRM heatsink extends over the rear I/O to maximize surface area and deftly handle the power thermals of the latest Intel processors, while leaving clearance for large CPU coolers.
HIGH-CONDUCTIVITY THERMAL PADS
High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.
CPU FAN HEADERS
A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers provides easy access to CPU coolers.
AIO PUMP FAN HEADER
A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.
WIFI 7
The revolutionary WiFi 7 is faster than standard WiFi 6*, thanks to tech like 160 MHz channels** on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM*. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming and industrial IoT.
