ASUS TUF Gaming B760M-Plus Wifi Intel Motherboard

The ASUS TUF Gaming B760M-Plus WiFi is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel B760 chipset, designed to support Intel 12th and 13th Generation Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors via the LGA1700 socket. Its 12+1 DrMOS power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and gate drivers into single packages, delivering efficient and stable power delivery to the CPU. Enlarged VRM heatsinks and a dedicated M.2 heatsink contribute to a comprehensive thermal management design that helps sustain consistent performance across extended gaming sessions. Memory support extends to four DDR5 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 128 GB and speeds from 4800 MHz up to 7200+ MHz (with overclocking). The board supports Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) and ASUS OptiMem II for tuned signal integrity. Storage options include two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots (supporting 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors) alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. On the expansion side, a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot serves the primary graphics card, supplemented by a chipset-driven PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (operating at x4 bandwidth) and a PCIe 4.0 x1 slot. Connectivity is well-appointed: a Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet port with TUF LANGuard surge protection handles wired networking, while the onboard Wi-Fi 6 adapter (2×2, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) paired with Bluetooth 5.2 covers wireless needs. The rear I/O delivers eight USB ports including a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port capable of 20 Gbps, along with a DisplayPort and HDMI video output for systems using integrated graphics. Audio is handled by a Realtek 7.1 surround sound HD codec supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz playback, audio shielding, dedicated PCB layers, premium capacitors, and a rear optical S/PDIF output. ASUS AURA Sync RGB lighting is supported via one AURA RGB header and three Addressable Gen 2 headers. A Thunderbolt (USB4) header and Q-Design features such as M.2 Q-Latch, Q-DIMM, Q-LED diagnostic LEDs, and a pre-mounted I/O shield streamline assembly. The 128 Mb Flash ROM UEFI AMI BIOS supports ASUS EZ Flash 3 and CrashFree BIOS 3. Software includes Armoury Crate, AURA Sync, Fan Xpert 2+, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, and DTS Audio Processing.
