On-board 2.5Gb Ethernet kicks your LAN connection up a notch by improving bandwidth speeds by up to 2.5X. Using your existing LAN cable, you can take advantage of this networking upgrade to reduce lag, experience smoother high-resolution video streams, and enjoy faster file transfers.?

WiFi 7

The next-gen WiFi 7* supports 160 MHz bandwidth in the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) ensures stable connections and low latency, supporting 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands for enhanced coverage and throughput.?

Realtek 7.1 Surround Sound

The unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek for TUF GAMING B860M motherboards feature an unprecedented 98 dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line out, providing pristine audio quality.

DTS Audio Processing

DTS® Audio Processing enhances gaming headset and speaker audio experiences by reducing distortion and by providing deeper bass, so games, movies and music sound better. It also allows you to customize audio settings.

Outshine The Competition

A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. The TUF GAMING motherboard features edge lighting to enhance its rugged look, and ASUS Aura offers full RGB control with presets for built-in LEDs and third-party strips. It can all sync with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-compatible hardware.?

Addressable Gen2 RGB Header

Three addressable Gen2 RGB headers will support up to 500 LEDs on Gen 2 RGB devices, empowering Aura Sync to automatically tailor lighting effects across your whole system. The headers also offer full backward compatibility with existing Aura Sync gear.?
