ASUS TUF Gaming B760M-E DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS TUF Gaming B760M-E DDR4 is a Micro-ATX (mATX) gaming motherboard built on the Intel B760 chipset with an LGA1700 socket, designed to support Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors. With a compact 9.6 x 9.6 inch footprint, it fits seamlessly into most mid-tower and mini-tower builds without sacrificing connectivity or feature depth. Power delivery is handled by a 10+1 DrMOS power stage design paired with an enlarged VRM heatsink, ensuring stable and efficient performance across a wide range of compatible Intel processors. The board supports up to 128GB of DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots, with speeds ranging from DDR4-2133 up to DDR4-5333(OC), and is compatible with Intel XMP profiles as well as ASUS OptiMem II trace-routing technology for improved signal integrity. Storage options are well-covered with two M.2 Key-M slots (both supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 modes in 2242/2260/2280 form factors) and four SATA 6Gb/s ports. Intel Rapid Storage Technology enables SATA RAID 0/1/5/10 configurations. Expansion is supported by one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (full bandwidth, CPU-connected) and an additional PCIe 4.0 x16 slot running at x4 mode via the chipset, plus one PCIe 4.0 x1 slot. Display output is handled via one HDMI 2.1 port (4K@60Hz) and one DisplayPort 1.4 (4K@60Hz) for integrated graphics. Networking is served by a Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet port with TUF LANGuard protection. USB connectivity rear includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Type-A, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) Type-A, and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports. The front panel adds one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C header, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 header (supporting two additional ports), and two USB 2.0 headers (supporting four additional ports). Audio is managed by a Realtek HD codec with a 98dB SNR stereo line-out and supports 7.1 surround sound output (requires a chassis with an HD front-panel audio module), 24-bit/192kHz playback, audio shielding, and dedicated audio PCB layers. ASUS Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation is included via Armoury Crate software. RGB ecosystem support includes three Addressable Gen 2 headers (up to 500 LEDs) and one Aura RGB header, all manageable through Armoury Crate with Aura Sync. The board also features SafeSlot Core+ for reinforced PCIe retention, SafeDIMM for protected memory installation, M.2 Q-Latch for tool-free M.2 SSD installation, and Q-LED diagnostic indicators for CPU, DRAM, VGA, and boot device status. An optional Wi-Fi module can be added via the vertical Key-E M.2 CNVi/PCIe slot (sold separately).
