COLORFUL is officially bringing high-speed networking and next-gen power to its mid-range motherboard lineup. The company has announced a major refresh of its BATTLE-AX series, introducing the B860M-PLUS S WIFI7 and the B760M-PLUS S WIFI7. The standout feature of this update is the inclusion of Wi-Fi 7, which provides lower latency and more stable wireless connections for gamers and streamers alike.
The B860M-PLUS S WIFI7 serves as the series’ flagship for the latest platforms and is specifically optimized to support Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors. It transitions the BATTLE-AX line into the high-performance DDR5 era with a 10+1+1+1 phase 60A DrMOS power design that ensures stability and speed. This model features four reinforced DDR5 slots capable of hitting up to 8800 MT/s when overclocked and includes three M.2 slots, one of which is a PCIe 5.0 x4 slot for the fastest modern SSDs. To make things easier for first-time builders, it also introduces tool-free, quick-release mechanisms for both the GPU and M.2 heatsinks.
For those looking to build a high-performance machine without moving to the latest socket, the B760M-PLUS S WIFI7 offers a practical upgrade path by maintaining compatibility with Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Core processors. Its robust 12+1+1 phase 60A DrMOS design ensures the board can handle heavy workloads even when paired with a high-end processor like the Core i7-14700K. This model features four DDR4 slots supporting up to 4800 MHz, making it ideal for users who want to repurpose their existing memory. Additionally, it includes a reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot designed to handle the weight and bandwidth of next-generation graphics cards, alongside three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots equipped with full-coverage heatsinks to prevent thermal throttling.
Whether jumping into the new Intel Ultra ecosystem with the B860 chipset or maximizing the value of a 14th Gen build with the B760, COLORFUL’s updated BATTLE-AX series ensures that users are fully prepared.
