You've got a Core Ultra CPU in hand and you need a board that actually keeps up. Not one that bottlenecks your GPU or leaves you short on storage lanes.
The Gigabyte B860 Gaming X WiFi 6E is built for Intel LGA1851 and Core Ultra processors. Four DDR5 DIMM slots take you to 256 GB with XMP support. The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot runs your graphics card at full bandwidth, and two additional PCIe 4.0 x1 slots from the chipset handle add-in cards when you need them.
Three M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0, two PCIe 4.0) plus four SATA ports means your OS drive, game library, and project storage all get their own lane. No sharing, no slowdown.
Wi-Fi 6E via Intel AX211 is onboard. Realtek 2.5GbE LAN sits on the back panel. USB4 over USB-C gives you a single-cable connection to a dock or external GPU at 40 Gbps.
Video output: USB4 (DisplayPort 2.1, 4K/144), HDMI 2.1 (4K/60), and a dedicated DisplayPort 2.1 (4K/144). Triple-display supported. Add to cart and stop waiting on a board that's actually in stock
