GIGABYTE B860M GAMING X WIFI6E Micro-ATX Motherboard, LGA1851
The evidence establishes three motherboard attributes: a Micro-ATX form factor, 15 power stages, and 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet. That combination suggests a compact board with multi-gig networking and a documented power-stage count. The record does not establish socket, chipset, memory, expansion, storage, firmware, wireless features, or thermal measurements, so buyers must verify the rest of the platform before deciding.
