COLORFUL has brought updates to its budget-focused BATTLE-AX motherboard series, introducing the B860M-PLUS S WIFI7 and B760M-PLUS S WIFI7 models – you read that right, the 700 series chipset is making a comeback this time, targeting older Intel Core 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen models.
COLORFUL BATTLE-AX B860M-PLUS S WIFI7
Starting with the BATTLE-AX B860M-PLUS S WIFI7, this model is designed for contemporary Intel Core Ultra processors, with power delivery courtesy of a 10+1+1+1 phase VRM with 60A per stage; it supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with overclocking support up to 8800MT/s, along with specific optimizations for “single-DIMM gaming performance.” (The company didn’t specify how this is done.)
The motherboard’s storage options include three M.2 slots (including one supporting PCIe 5.0 x4), along with four SATA ports; connectivity features involve 5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 7, while six USB-A and two USB-C ports take care of peripheral I/O. As standard, you’ll find tool-free mechanisms for GPU and M.2 installation for easier upgrades and maintenance.
COLORFUL BATTLE-AX B870M-PLUS S WIFI7
COLORFUL also got the new BATTLE-AX B760M-PLUS S WIFI7, and the reasoning behind releasing a new B760 motherboard is “giving users the choice between next-generation DDR5 performance and cost-effective DDR4 compatibility.” In case you forgot, Intel Core 12/13/14th Gen processors do support DDR4, although motherboards that actually utilize DDR4 is very rare to get in DIY markets. (You’ll have to look at budget commercial segment to find anything similar, like this one.)
Anyhow, the B760M-PLUS S WIFI7 features a 12+1+1 phase 60A DrMOS VRM, while the memory side comes with four DDR4 slots supporting overclocking speeds of up to 4800MT/s. The company didn’t skimp on some important features either, like the reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot to handle modern-day high-end graphics cards that often is extreme heavy; there’s also three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots with full-coverage heatsinks to maintain optimal sustained performance. For networking, there’s 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 7 as standard.
