LGA1851 is the newer Intel desktop socket, and older LGA1700 processors do not fit it. The B860 chipset is the mid-range of the platform, enough for a typical home, office or gaming PC. Memory is DDR5, so plan for new modules rather than reusing DDR4. Four SATA ports leave room for older drives too.
Builders of an Intel LGA1851 PC who want a simple B860 board with an eye on the future. It suits home and office computers, and works as the base of a moderate gaming PC with the system on an M.2 SSD and large files on SATA drives.
