Description

Stable Power Design

Stable power delivery is critical for maximizing the performance of Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 2) processors. The B860M MAX GAMING AX is designed to meet the needs of processors with a high number of cores. It features power stages of 6(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A), which integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and controllers (drivers) into units rated up to 80 Amperes each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance for both current and future Intel® processors.

  • 6 Phases: VCCCORE Power (80A, DrMOS)

  • 1 Phase: VCCGT Power (80A, DrMOS)

  • 1 Phase: VCCSA Power (80A, DrMOS)

  • 1 Phase: VNNAON Power (80A, DrMOS)

AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that allows users to achieve unparalleled memory performance using advanced CUDIMM memory. Through a 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 top speeds of DDR5-7600 or higher.

DIMM Fit

DIMM Fit is an exclusive ASUS BIOS feature that accurately analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and identify potential issues. This offers maximum performance, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you are an overclocking user seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most versatile gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing the utmost stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and hardware configuration.

Three M.2 slots (up to 128 Gbps)

The B860M MAX GAMING AX offers a total of three M.2 slots, including one that supports data transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and two that support 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This allows for faster system boot and reduced application loading times when used for your operating system or program drive.

ASUS Fan Xpert 2+

The ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides full control over the fans. Auto-Tuning works intelligently and adjusts all parameters with a single click. There is also the Extreme Quiet mode, which reduces the speed of the case fans below the minimum preset value, keeping your system silent during light tasks. The fans can also be controlled through the UEFI BIOS.

WiFi 6

The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard. Perhaps most important for users is that it has been optimized for more efficient operation in crowded networks with heavy data traffic from multiple devices.

PCI Express 5.0 x16 Support

The latest processors introduce support for PCIe 5.0, doubling data transfer speeds compared to PCIe 4.0, improving signal integrity, and providing backward-compatible CEM connections and support for previous PCIe versions.
