AEMP III for Optimal DDR5 Performance

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that enables users to achieve unrivaled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a comprehensive two-phase tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at advanced speeds of DDR5-7600 or higher.

DIMM Fit

DIMM Fit is an exclusive ASUS UEFI BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and detect potential issues. This delivers maximum efficiency, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you are an overclocker seeking maximum performance, a gamer chasing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing solid stability, DIMM Fit provides customized optimizations for your needs and hardware configuration.

Dual M.2 Slots (up to 128Gbps)

The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI offers a total of two M.2 slots, including one that supports data transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and another supporting up to 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This allows for faster boot times and more agile application load times with OS or application drives.

Cooling by Design

The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

ASUS Fan Xpert 2+

ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans. An Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. It also features an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speed below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

WiFi 6E

Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the new radio spectrum available in the 6 GHz band. With up to triple the bandwidth of the 2.4/5/6 GHz bands, WiFi 6E delivers ultrafast wireless network speeds with improved capacity and better performance in dense wireless environments.

Personalization

The PRIME B860-PLUS WIFI enhances the user experience in every aspect, from simplifying BIOS adjustments to offering customizable RGB lighting controls for a unique, personal system aesthetic.
