The MSI PRO B860M-P WIFI6E pairs the LGA 1851 socket and Intel B860 chipset with full PCIe 5.0 bandwidth across both its primary graphics slot and M.2 storage slot, giving compact Micro-ATX builds a direct path to Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors.

Next-gen throughput with dual PCIe 5.0 slots for GPU and storage

Equipped with the LGA 1851 socket, this motherboard supports the full line of Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2). The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot connects directly to the CPU to deliver maximum potential bandwidth for modern graphics cards. Storage performance receives the same priority, with an M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 slot capable of handling high-speed NVMe drives without bandwidth bottlenecks.

For secondary expansion, the board includes a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot driven by the Intel B860 chipset, allowing you to add capture cards or dedicated expansion hardware without taking bandwidth from the main graphics slot.

DDR5 speed and up to 256 GB capacity for heavy multitasking

With four DDR5 UDIMM slots, the PRO B860M-P WIFI6E accommodates up to 256 GB of system memory, providing high capacity for virtual machines, content creation workflows, and intensive data processing. System builders can increase memory performance using overclocked profiles, with supported speeds reaching up to DDR5 8800+ MT/s (OC).

Integrated Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5GbE LAN, and front-panel Type-C connectivity

Network connectivity is built for high-throughput environments. The onboard Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE LAN controller provides high-speed wired Ethernet, while integrated Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 offer flexible wireless connectivity. Audio is managed by the onboard Realtek ALC897 7.1-channel HD audio codec.

Peripheral connectivity covers modern workspace needs. The rear I/O panel houses three USB 5Gbps Type-A ports alongside two USB 2.0 ports. Internal headers provide dedicated support for a front-panel USB 5Gbps Type-C port, a USB 5Gbps header for two front Type-A ports, and two USB 2.0 headers supporting up to four additional ports.

Versatile quad-display outputs supporting up to 4K at 60Hz

The integrated rear display panel allows multi-monitor productivity directly from Intel Core Ultra integrated graphics, eliminating the need for a discrete graphics card in standard workstation setups. You can drive up to four displays simultaneously using:

• 1x HDMI 2.1 port supporting resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz
• 2x DisplayPort 1.4 ports supporting resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz
• 1x VGA (D-Sub) port for legacy monitor compatibility

Dual M.2 slots and flexible SATA RAID configurations

Alongside the primary M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 slot, a secondary M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot provides additional room for NVMe storage drives in both 2280 and 2260 form factors. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports are available for traditional hard drives and 2.5-inch SSDs, with hardware support for SATA RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 configurations to safeguard critical files.

Power is supplied through a standard 24-pin ATX connector and an 8-pin CPU 12V connector, maintaining a practical layout within standard Micro-ATX dimensions (243.84 mm x 243.84 mm) for Windows 11 64-bit systems.
