ASUS ROG Strix B760-A Gaming Wifi DDR5 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS ROG Strix B760-A Gaming WiFi DDR5 is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the Intel B760 chipset with an LGA1700 socket, offering compatibility with both 12th Gen and 13th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors. It is designed for gamers and enthusiast builders who want a capable mid-range platform without compromising on connectivity or aesthetics. At the heart of the board sits a 12+1 power stage configuration supported by ProCool connectors, high-quality alloy chokes, and 5K Black Metallic capacitors. Thick VRM heatsinks bridged with high-conductivity thermal pads help maintain stable temperatures during sustained workloads. A six-layer PCB design aids in heat dissipation around the voltage regulators. Memory support spans four DDR5 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 192GB and speeds ranging from DDR5-4800 up to DDR5-7800+ (OC) in dual-channel configuration. Intel XMP and ASUS OptiMem II profiles are supported for straightforward memory tuning. Storage options include three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, each covered by a heatsink to maintain optimal drive temperatures, plus four SATA 6Gb/s ports. The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 speeds via the CPU, while the chipset provides an additional PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (x4 mode) and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. Networking is handled by onboard Intel Wi-Fi 6E (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, 2x2, 2.4/5/6GHz) with Bluetooth 5.3, paired with Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet protected by ASUS LANGuard surge protection. The rear I/O panel provides nine USB ports including a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) Type-C port, alongside DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 video outputs and a dedicated BIOS FlashBack button for CPU-free BIOS updates. Audio is delivered through ROG SupremeFX featuring the ALC4080 codec paired with a Savitech SV3H712 amplifier, offering 120dB SNR playback and 113dB SNR recording, with support for up to 32-bit/384kHz output. DTS Sound Unbound and Sonic Studio III software complete the audio package. The board's white, silver, and black aesthetic is accented by Aura Sync RGB lighting controllable through Armoury Crate, with three Addressable Gen 2 headers and one Aura RGB header for connected accessories. DIY-friendly features include PCIe Slot Q-Release, M.2 Q-Latch, Q-DIMM, and Q-LED diagnostic indicators.
