Stable performance and support for modern hardware
The motherboard uses an advanced VRM design with high-quality 20K capacitors and enhanced cooling, ensuring stable power delivery and low temperatures even when overclocking. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory up to 256GB and lets you activate XMP and EXPO profiles for easy memory performance boosts. Dr.MOS technology provides more efficient processor power delivery and lower heat loss compared to traditional MOSFET solutions, contributing to the long lifespan and high reliability of the entire system.
Fast connectivity and expansion options
The ASROCK B860 LiveMixer WiFi is equipped with PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 interfaces for modern graphics cards and SSDs, including a Blazing M.2 slot (PCIe Gen5x4) and two Hyper M.2 slots (PCIe Gen4x4). For storage connections, there are four SATA III connectors with RAID 0/1/5/10 support. Network connectivity is handled by a fast 2.5Gb LAN Dragon RTL8125BG chip and a Wi-Fi 6E wireless module with Bluetooth 5.3. The board supports up to 22 USB ports, including a Thunderbolt™ 4/USB4 Type-C with transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s and 15W charging.
Advanced audio, cooling and design for creators
The Realtek ALC1220 audio codec, with support for 7.1-channel audio and Nahimic technology, provides a clean and detailed sound for gaming, communication, and audio work. Optimal operating temperatures are maintained by an aluminium heatsink and a bottom M.2 slot cooler, which effectively dissipate heat. The board also offers advanced fan management, Polychrome Sync RGB lighting, and easy component installation thanks to a flexible I/O shield and the BIOS Flashback feature.
