ASRock B760M PG Lightning WIFI M-ATX Motherboard

The ASRock B760M PG Lightning WIFI is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on Intel's B760 chipset with an LGA1700 socket, supporting Intel Core processors from the 12th, 13th, and 14th generations. Designed for compact yet capable builds, it delivers a solid combination of connectivity, memory performance, and thermal management in a space-efficient form factor. At the heart of its power delivery is a 7+1+1 phase design using Dr.MOS components for VCore and GT voltage rails, enabling smooth and stable power flow to the CPU under sustained loads. The board is constructed on a 6-layer PCB, which contributes to cleaner signal integrity and improved thermal characteristics—particularly valuable when pushing memory frequencies. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support dual-channel configurations with a maximum capacity of 256 GB and memory speeds reaching up to 7200+ MHz via overclocking. The board supports Intel XMP 3.0 profiles for straightforward memory performance tuning. Storage and expansion are well catered for: a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot handles primary GPU duties, while a secondary PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (operating at x4 mode) adds flexibility. Three Hyper M.2 slots, each running at PCIe Gen 4 x4, enable fast NVMe SSD installations alongside four SATA3 ports for traditional storage. An aluminium heatsink assists with thermal management across the board's key zones. Connectivity is a standout feature. The onboard Dragon 2.5G LAN provides fast wired networking, complemented by 802.11ax WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless options. The rear I/O includes HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C port, three USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 port, and HD audio jacks. Internal headers add a further two USB 2.0 headers (four ports total) and a USB 3.2 Gen1 header. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC897 7.1-channel HD codec with Nahimic Audio support. ASRock's Fan-Tastic Tuning utility allows granular control over the six available fan/pump headers—one CPU fan, one CPU/water pump, and four chassis/water pump connectors—all operating in PWM/DC auto-detect mode. A Thunderbolt AIC connector (5-pin) supports optional ASRock Thunderbolt 4 expansion cards.
