Gigabyte B860 DS3H LGA1851 DDR5 ATX Motherboard
Moving to Intel, the B860 DS3H pairs the Intel B860 Express chipset with the LGA1851 socket and DDR5 memory in a full ATX layout, built for an Intel Core Ultra desktop that needs PCIe 5.0 graphics, fast wired networking and room for several expansion cards.
Key Specifications
- Intel B860 Express chipset with LGA1851 socket support for Intel Core Ultra processors
- 4 x DDR5 DIMM sockets supporting up to 256 GB of dual-channel memory, with DDR5 speeds up to 9066 MT/s overclocked and XMP memory module support

PCIe 5.0 Graphics Slot with Q-Flash Plus
The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is the centrepiece for a current-generation graphics card, while Q-Flash Plus support allows a BIOS update without a full system build, a practical combination for a new Intel Core Ultra platform.
- Select an Intel Core Ultra processor for the LGA1851 socket.
- Install up to 256 GB of DDR5 across the four DIMM sockets with an XMP profile enabled.
- Fit a PCIe 5.0 graphics card in the x16 slot, using the four PCIe 4.0 x1 slots for additional cards.
- Place the fastest SSD in the PCIe 5.0 M.2 connector and a second SSD in the PCIe 4.0 M.2 connector.
