Colorful iGame B850M ULTRA-S and ULTRA-OC motherboards launch in India with DDR5, PCIe 5.0 support

Colorful has launched two new Micro-ATX motherboards in India under its iGame B850M ULTRA lineup—the ULTRA-S and the ULTRA-OC. Both boards target AMD Ryzen users and come loaded with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, PCIe 5.0, and DDR5 memory support with AMD EXPO compatibility.

The all-black matte-finish design is meant to pair cleanly with Colorful's own iGame GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, for anyone going for a monochrome build.

The ULTRA-S is the more mainstream-facing option. It runs a 14+2+1 phase power design with 80A DrMOS and dual 8-pin CPU connectors, supporting up to 256GB of DDR5 across four DIMM slots. Storage is covered by three M.2 slots—two PCIe 5.0 and one PCIe 4.0—alongside four SATA ports. The rear I/O includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, HDMI, DisplayPort, and 2.5Gb Ethernet.

The ULTRA-OC is built differently. It drops to a dual-DIMM layout—capping total memory at 128GB—but pushes overclocking headroom further, with manual DDR5 speeds up to 8800MHz. The power design is a 10+2+1 phase 60A DrMOS setup. Networking gets an upgrade too: 5Gb Ethernet instead of 2.5Gb, which is a meaningful step up for anyone doing heavy file transfers or working in a NAS environment.

Compatibility extends to AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 7 9850X3D, which is relevant for gamers who want the best gaming CPU available on the AM5 platform today. Both boards also carry four PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots between them—though the split differs—and both use M.2 Quick Latch for tool-free installation.

Colorful hasn't announced India pricing yet. The announcement was made out of Mumbai on May 20.
