A rock-solid foundation for your next Intel build

The ASRock B860M Rock WiFi is designed for PC builders who want a capable, well-featured Intel platform in a compact Micro ATX footprint. Pairing the Intel B860 chipset with the LGA1851 socket, it supports Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors — bringing Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0, Thermal Velocity Boost, Adaptive Boost Technology, and an integrated NPU for dedicated AI acceleration. Whether you are assembling a focused gaming rig, a content creation workstation, or a productive daily driver, the B860M Rock WiFi delivers the performance headroom and modern connectivity to handle it all.

DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 storage — built for speed

Tired of storage bottlenecks holding back an otherwise capable system? The B860M Rock WiFi addresses this head-on with its Blazing M.2 slot — a PCIe Gen5 x4 socket capable of up to 128 Gb/s — making it one of the most capable storage configurations available at this chipset tier. A second Hyper M.2 slot running PCIe Gen4 x4 at up to 64 Gb/s provides additional high-speed NVMe capacity, while four SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors accommodate traditional drives. Memory runs on Dual Channel DDR5 across two DIMM slots, supporting up to 128 GB with speeds up to 8333+ MHz under XMP 3.0 overclocking profiles, and CUDIMM compatibility for added flexibility.

Stay connected — wired, wireless, and everywhere in between

The B860M Rock WiFi is equipped with an 802.11axe Wi-Fi 6E module covering 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the extended 6 GHz band, backed by a 2x2 MU-MIMO antenna configuration for lower latency and higher throughput in congested environments. Bluetooth 5.3 is included for wireless peripherals. On the wired side, the Dragon RTL8125BG 2.5G LAN controller provides speeds up to 2500 Mb/s with intelligent bandwidth management software and optimised presets for gaming, browsing, and streaming. The rear I/O panel rounds out connectivity with a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port running at 20 Gb/s, three USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K 120Hz), DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 8K 60Hz), and HD audio jacks.

Thoughtfully built for the DIY builder

ASRock has packed several quality-of-life features into the B860M Rock WiFi to make the build process straightforward. A pre-installed I/O shield saves time during installation, while toolless SSD installation via a quick-release latch simplifies storage setup. The reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 steel slot provides extra anchor points and a stronger latch to keep heavy graphics cards securely seated. Onboard RGB and three addressable LED headers with Polychrome SYNC support allow lighting customisation across compatible devices. The Auto Driver Installer utility handles driver and software setup automatically on first boot, so you spend less time configuring and more time using your build.
