Colorful has launched two new micro-ATX motherboards under its iGame ULTRA series: the B850M ULTRA-S V14 and the B850M ULTRA-OC V14. Both boards feature a black design and support AMD's X3D AI high frame rate mode.
Two micro-ATX boards with distinct power phases
The ULTRA-S V14 offers a 14+2+1 phase power design with 80A components and dual 8-pin EPS connectors. It has four DDR5 slots supporting up to 8400MT/s, one PCIe Gen5 x16 slot, one PCIe Gen4 x1 slot, and four M.2 slots (two Gen5 x4 and two Gen4 x4). Networking includes a Realtek 2.5GbE LAN and MediaTek Wi-Fi 7. The ULTRA-OC V14 uses a 10+2+1 phase power design with 60A components and an 8+4 pin EPS connector. It has two DDR5 slots up to 8400MT/s, one PCIe Gen5 x16 slot, and the same M.2 configuration. It upgrades wired networking to a Realtek 5GbE LAN while keeping Wi-Fi 7.
Spec comparison
| Spec | iGame B850M ULTRA-S V14 | iGame B850M ULTRA-OC V14 |
|---|---|---|
| Power Phase | 14+2+1 (80A) | 10+2+1 (60A) |
| CPU Power Connector | 8+8 Pin EPS | 8+4 Pin EPS |
| Memory Slots | 4 x DDR5 up to 8400MT/s | 2 x DDR5 up to 8400MT/s |
| Wired LAN | Realtek 2.5GbE | Realtek 5GbE |
| Price (China) | 1399 CNY (~$205) | 1299 CNY (~$191) |
Both motherboards are available in China starting May 20, 2025. The ULTRA-S V14 is priced at 1399 CNY (about $205), and the ULTRA-OC V14 at 1299 CNY (about $191).
The B850M ULTRA-S and ULTRA-OC V14 are positioned as mid-range options for AMD's B850 chipset. The ULTRA-S targets users needing more memory slots and robust power delivery, while the ULTRA-OC focuses on overclocking with a simpler memory layout and faster wired networking.
Colorful has not detailed global availability or pricing for these motherboards beyond the Chinese market.
