GIGABYTE B760M-H DDR5 MATX Intel Motherboard

The Gigabyte B760M-H DDR5 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel B760 Express chipset, designed for 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors using the LGA1700 socket. Its compact 23.0 cm x 21.5 cm form factor makes it a strong choice for space-conscious builds without sacrificing connectivity or expandability. Power delivery is handled by a 6+1+1 phase configuration using Low RDS MOSFETs, complemented by premium chokes and capacitors to improve transient response and reduce oscillation — helping maintain stable power delivery to the CPU under sustained workloads. Memory support centres on two DDR5 DIMM slots capable of holding up to 96 GB of system memory (48 GB per DIMM), running at native speeds of 4800 MT/s or overclocked frequencies up to 8000 MT/s via XMP profiles. The board also accepts ECC Unbuffered modules in non-ECC mode and supports dual-channel operation for improved bandwidth. Storage options are well-covered for a board at this tier: two M.2 Socket 3 (M-key, type 2280) connectors both operating at PCIe 4.0 x4, paired with four SATA 6Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support. Expansion is provided by one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for a discrete GPU and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot for additional peripherals. Connectivity at the rear includes four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, two USB 2.0/1.1 ports, one HDMI 2.0 output (up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz), one D-Sub output (up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz), a Realtek GbE LAN (RJ-45), and three audio jacks supporting up to 7.1-channel audio via Realtek Audio CODEC with S/PDIF output. The onboard GbE LAN features a bandwidth management application to help manage network latency in congested environments. The UEFI AMI BIOS includes an Easy Mode dashboard displaying CPU, memory, storage, and fan data at a glance, and supports Q-Flash for straightforward firmware updates. GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) software provides a unified hub for system monitoring and fan control. One RGB LED strip header is available for basic lighting customisation.
