MSI MPG B760I Edge WIFI Motherboard

The MSI MPG B760I Edge WIFI is a Mini-ITX form-factor motherboard built on Intel’s B760 chipset, designed for the LGA1700 socket. Its compact 170 mm × 170 mm PCB makes it a strong choice for small-form-factor builds that refuse to compromise on performance or connectivity. Processor support spans Intel Core 12th, 13th, and 14th generation processors, as well as Intel Pentium Gold and Celeron processors on the LGA1700 platform. Two DDR5 DIMM slots accept up to 96 GB of memory and support speeds from 4800 MHz (JEDEC) all the way to 7200+ MHz under XMP overclocking in a single-rank, single-DIMM-per-channel configuration. Dual-channel operation is supported, and the board is compatible with Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) kits. Expansion is anchored by a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot sourced directly from the CPU, ensuring full-bandwidth discrete GPU support in a compact chassis. Two M.2 slots handle fast storage: M.2_1 connects to the CPU and supports PCIe 4.0 x4, while M.2_2 connects to the chipset and supports PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA mode; both accept 2280 devices. Four SATA 6 Gbps ports round out storage with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support. Networking is handled by a Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5 Gbps wired LAN controller alongside an Intel Wi-Fi 6E module pre-installed in the M.2 Key-E slot. The wireless module covers 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands at up to 160 MHz channel width, delivering up to 2.4 Gbps throughput, and supports MU-MIMO TX/RX. Bluetooth 5.3 is also integrated. Video output includes one HDMI 2.1 port (4K 60 Hz with HDR) and one DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 8K 60 Hz) for systems using Intel integrated graphics. Audio is provided by a Realtek ALC897 codec with 7.1-channel output. The rear I/O panel carries USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports, multiple USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and USB 2.0 ports. The power delivery stage uses a direct 8+1+1 phase design. Thermal management includes an enlarged VRM heatsink with MOSFET thermal pads rated at 7 W/mK, additional choke thermal pads, and M.2 Shield Frozr for the primary M.2 slot. Four EZ Debug LEDs simplify troubleshooting. The 8-layer PCB uses server-grade material, and a pre-installed I/O shield is included for convenience.
