Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR5 M-ATX Motherboard

The GIGABYTE B760M DS3H is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel B760 Express chipset for the LGA1700 socket. It supports 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors, giving builders a future-proof platform within the LGA1700 ecosystem. Memory performance is a highlight: four DDR5 DIMM slots operate in dual-channel mode and accept modules rated from 4000 MT/s up to 7600 MT/s (O.C. via XMP), with a maximum installed capacity of 192 GB using 48 GB single-DIMM modules. ECC Un-buffered DIMMs are recognized but operate in non-ECC mode, making this board equally at home in a content-creation workstation or an enthusiast gaming rig. Storage options cover both current and next-generation needs. Two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 connectors (type 2280) accommodate high-speed NVMe SSDs, with M.2 Thermal Guards fitted to manage heat. Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports add conventional drive capacity, and RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations are supported across SATA devices. Connectivity is strong for this price tier. A Realtek 2.5GbE LAN controller delivers wired networking at up to 2.5 Gbps. The rear panel includes a USB Type-C port running at USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s), three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and a PS/2 combo port. Display outputs — D-Sub (up to 1920×1200), HDMI 2.0 (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz), and two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs (up to 4096×2304 @ 60 Hz) — serve integrated-graphics builds without a discrete GPU. The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x16 and features GIGABYTE’s EZ-Latch quick-release design. Two additional PCIe 3.0 x1 slots round out expansion. The 6+2+1 phase digital VRM solution provides stable power delivery for the supported CPU range. Smart Fan 6 technology uses multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP support to keep acoustics low. Q-Flash Plus allows BIOS updates without a CPU, memory, or GPU installed — a practical benefit when upgrading between Intel generations. Onboard audio is handled by a Realtek High Definition Audio CODEC supporting up to 7.1-channel output, with S/PDIF Out available on both the back panel header and an internal header. RGB and addressable LED headers are present for lighting customisation.
