Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF on the ASUS TUF Gaming B860M-Plus WiFi
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF holds its clocks on the ASUS TUF Gaming B860M-Plus WiFi: the board's 12 Vcore stages carry about 918 W and the processor asks for 230 W in a sustained all-core load, which is 25 % of capacity and an estimated 54 °C at the VRM.

Power delivery
This pairing is not close to any limit. 230 W against 918 W of capacity leaves the ASUS TUF Gaming B860M-Plus WiFi running its stages at 25 % load, and our model puts the VRM at 54 °C in a closed case. Nothing about the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF pushes this board into the region where clocks start dropping.
The ASUS TUF Gaming B860M-Plus WiFi carries 12 Vcore power stages rated 80 A each, teamed in pairs off a shared controller channel, with a solid block across both banks. That works out to about 918 W of sustained core power once the design and the cooling are accounted for, which is the number the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF's 230 W is measured against.
Buy it on the rest of the specification rather than on power delivery, because at 25 % of capacity the VRM has stopped being the interesting variable. Count the M.2 slots you need, check the rear ports against what you actually plug in, and let the ASUS TUF Gaming B860M-Plus WiFi's 12 stages get on with it.
