GIGABYTE B760M DS3H DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR4 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel B760 chipset, designed for 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core processors as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron processors using the LGA1700 socket. Its compact 244 mm x 244 mm footprint makes it a practical foundation for space-conscious builds without compromising on connectivity or feature depth. Memory support is a strong point of this board. Four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodate up to 128 GB of RAM in dual-channel configuration, with overclocked speeds reachable up to DDR4-5333 (O.C.), giving enthusiasts meaningful headroom beyond standard JEDEC speeds. For storage, the board provides four SATA 6 Gb/s connectors alongside M.2 slots covered by Gigabyte’s M.2 Thermal Guard, a passive heatsink solution designed to reduce thermal throttling on high-speed M.2 NVMe drives by dissipating heat before it becomes a sustained performance constraint. Expansion flexibility is handled by one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for a discrete graphics card and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for add-in cards. Onboard networking is provided by a Realtek 2.5GbE LAN chip capable of 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps operation—an upgrade over standard Gigabit Ethernet common at this price tier. The rear I/O panel includes two USB 2.0/1.1 ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, one HDMI port, DisplayPort, D-Sub video outputs for systems with integrated graphics, three audio jacks driven by a Realtek audio CODEC supporting up to 7.1-channel audio, and a PS/2 combo keyboard/mouse port. Power delivery uses standard 24-pin ATX main and 8-pin ATX 12V connectors.
