MSI MPG B860I Edge Ti WiFi Review

The MPG B860I Edge Ti WiFi brings MSI's Edge Ti design language to Intel's mainstream B860 chipset, giving Core Ultra 200S builders Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1 output and HDMI 2.1 8K/60Hz support at a lower price than the flagship Z890I Edge Ti.

MSI lists a 110A SPS rating for this board without publishing an exact phase count, positioning it similarly to the flagship Z890I Edge Ti WiFi's disclosed amperage despite the lower-tier chipset. Two DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 128GB total capacity, with overclocked speeds of 8600+ MT/s achievable on supported configurations. A single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot (CPU-connected) handles the GPU, and two M.2 slots cover storage: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and one PCIe 4.0 x4/SATA hybrid slot. A Killer E5000B 5G LAN controller pairs with Killer BE1750x Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1 output is a standout feature at this price tier, and HDMI 2.1 supports 8K at 60Hz for high-resolution display setups. Audio uses a Realtek ALC897 codec. Against the MSI MPG Z890I Edge Ti WiFi in this catalog, the B860I Edge Ti WiFi drops from four to two M.2 slots and loses PCIe bifurcation, but keeps Thunderbolt 4 and matches the same disclosed 110A SPS VRM rating at a lower price point.
