GIGABYTE B760M DS3H DDR5 Intel Motherboard

The Gigabyte B760M DS3H is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel B760 Express Chipset and fitted with an LGA1700 socket, making it compatible with 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors. Its compact 24.4 cm x 24.4 cm footprint makes it a strong choice for space-efficient builds that still demand modern connectivity and storage capability. The board supports dual-channel DDR5 memory across four DIMM slots, accommodating up to 192 GB of system memory (48 GB per DIMM). Memory speeds range from the standard DDR5-4800 all the way to DDR5-7600 via XMP overclocking profiles, giving builders headroom for high-bandwidth workloads. ECC Un-buffered DIMMs are also accepted, though they operate in non-ECC mode. Storage is handled by two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 connectors (type 2280), one routed from the CPU and one from the chipset, both protected by Gigabyte’s M.2 Thermal Guard to manage heat from fast NVMe drives. Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports round out onboard storage, and RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations are supported for SATA arrays. The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 and features Gigabyte’s EZ-Latch mechanism for tool-free GPU removal. Two additional PCIe 3.0 x1 slots are provided by the chipset. Rear display outputs include D-Sub (up to 1920×1200 @ 60 Hz), HDMI 2.0 (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz), and two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs (up to 4096×2304 @ 60 Hz), enabling multi-monitor setups using integrated graphics. Network connectivity comes from a Realtek 2.5 GbE LAN chip supporting 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps. The rear panel also carries a USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) throughput, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and two USB 2.0 ports, with additional internal headers for further USB expansion. Smart Fan 6 manages up to four fan headers (one CPU, three system), each supporting PWM and DC modes with per-header fan curves tied to multiple temperature sensors across the board. Headers support up to 24 W (12 V × 2 A) with over-current protection, and a Fan Stop function can bring fans to a complete halt below a user-defined temperature threshold. Audio is handled by a Realtek High Definition Audio CODEC supporting 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel output and S/PDIF Out. The BIOS is a licensed AMI UEFI implementation stored in a 128 Mbit flash chip, with Gigabyte Q-Flash Plus enabling BIOS updates without installing a CPU, memory, or graphics card — simply by pressing a dedicated button on the rear panel.
