Robust Power Design

Stable power is crucial for maximising the performance of Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2). The PRIME B860M-A WIFI-CSM is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 7(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80 amperes each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future Intel® processors.

• 7 VCCCORE power (80A, DrMOS)
• 1 VCCGT power (80A, DrMOS)
• 1 VCCSA power (80A, DrMOS)
• 1 VNNAON power(80A, DrMOS)

Six-Layer PCB Design

Enhanced Stability and Overclocking

The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

ProCool Connector

Proprietary 8 Pin Connector Improve PSU Connection

Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard’s link to the power supply with 8 pin connector that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processor. Each connector features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.

Power Saving

Optimise Power with CPU, Lighting, and Fan Settings

The Power Saving function contains several settings to easily optimise power consumption and maximise energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting and set the fan profile to a Power Saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.
