ASUS ProArt B760 Creator DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS ProArt B760-Creator D4 is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built specifically for content-creation workloads such as 3D rendering, virtual production, and 4K/8K video editing. It uses the Intel B760 chipset and supports 12th- and 13th-generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors via the LGA1700 socket, including Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. For storage, the board provides three M.2 Key-M slots alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. M.2_1 runs PCIe 4.0 x4 (CPU-direct), M.2_3 runs PCIe 4.0 x4 (chipset), and M.2_2 runs PCIe 3.0 x4 (chipset) — noting that M.2_2 shares bandwidth with the PCIe x1 slot and the Key-E Wi-Fi slot. Intel Rapid Storage Technology enables SATA RAID 0/1/5/10. The primary PCIe x16 slot supports PCIe 5.0/4.0/3.0, giving current and future graphics cards the bandwidth they need. Connectivity is a clear strength. Dual Ethernet — a Realtek 2.5 Gb port and an Intel 1 Gb port, both guarded by ASUS LANGuard — lets creators simultaneously handle internet traffic and high-speed NAS transfers. A Thunderbolt 4 header (requiring an ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 add-in card, sold separately) can enable up to 40 Gbps bidirectional speeds with daisy-chain multi-display support up to 8K and up to 100 W of device charging. A front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connector offers up to 20 Gbps for fast peripheral access, while the rear I/O provides a further USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and four USB 2.0 Type-A ports. Memory support spans four DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 128 GB (Non-ECC, Unbuffered), dual-channel architecture, Intel XMP support, and ASUS OptiMem II trace-layout optimisation for improved signal integrity. Display output via integrated graphics is handled by one HDMI 2.1 port (4K@60Hz) and one DisplayPort 1.4 port (up to 8K@60Hz). Audio is managed by a Realtek 7.1-channel HD CODEC with dedicated PCB layers, premium capacitors, a de-pop circuit, and support for 24-bit/192 kHz playback. ASUS Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation software reduces background noise on both outgoing and incoming audio channels during calls and video conferences. Protection and build quality are addressed by ASUS 5X Protection III, which includes DIGI+ VRM with DrMOS digital power design, enhanced DRAM overcurrent protection, ESD guards, overvoltage protection, SafeSlot reinforcement on the primary PCIe slot, and stainless-steel rear I/O. Cooling control is handled by Fan Xpert 4 with Auto-Tuning and Extreme Quiet modes covering CPU fans, chassis fans, and AIO pump headers. The board also supports AURA Sync RGB via one AURA RGB header and three Addressable Gen 2 headers.
