As the naming suggests, the new BATTLE-AX B860M-PLUS S WIFI7 and B760M-PLUS S WIFI7 motherboards also support the latest Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking standard alongside Bluetooth 5.4 support. The BATTLE-AX B860M-PLUS S WIFI7 is built for the latest Intel Core Ultra 200S Series, and its dual-channel DDR5 memory supports speeds of up to 8,800 MT/s, with single-DIMM configurations also available for those looking to save a bit of money.

With a robust 10+1+1+1-phase 60A DrMOS power design, the compact board also includes three M.2 SSD slots with an integrated heatsink and tool-free installation, one of which is PCIe 5.0 x4-ready. The rear I/O is also packed with expansion options, with it including six USB Type-A ports and two USB Type-C ports.

The new B760M-PLUS S WIFI7 motherboard is the more affordable option of the two, and is compatible with Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors. This means it supports DDR4 memory, which can be overclocked up to 4,800 MT/s. It also includes three M.2 SSD slots underneath an integrated heatsink, but these are limited to PCIe 4.0 speeds. The rear I/O is similarly stacked, albeit here you've got six USB Type-A ports and a single USB Type-C port.

Here's a breakdown of the specs.
