GIGABYTE B760M K V2 DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The GIGABYTE B760M K V2 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel B760 Express Chipset for LGA1700 socket processors. It supports Intel Core processors from the 12th, 13th, and 14th generations, including Pentium Gold and Celeron variants, making it a practical foundation for budget-conscious and mid-range system builds alike. Memory support is provided through two DDR4 DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration, accommodating up to 64 GB of system memory with single DIMM capacities of up to 32 GB. The board supports DDR4 speeds from 2133 MT/s up to 3200 MT/s, along with XMP profiles for users who want straightforward memory tuning without manual overrides. Power delivery is handled by a 6+1+1 phase hybrid digital VRM design featuring 50 A low RDS MOSFETs and solid capacitors, connected via an 8-pin solid-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector. This configuration is aimed at delivering stable power under sustained CPU loads without thermal throttling. For expansion, a single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot from the CPU lane is available for discrete graphics cards, complemented by a PCIe 3.0 x1 chipset slot. Storage is covered by one M.2 Socket 3 connector (type 2280/2260, PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 NVMe) and four SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support. The rear I/O panel includes one D-Sub port (up to 1920×1200 @ 60 Hz), one HDMI 2.1 port (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz with HDCP 2.3), two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, four USB 2.0/1.1 ports, one PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, one RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port (Realtek GbE), and three 3.5 mm audio jacks backed by a Realtek HD Audio CODEC supporting up to 7.1-channel output. Smart Fan 6 manages thermal control across three fan headers (one CPU, two system), each supporting PWM and DC modes with up to 7-point fan curves, Fan Stop functionality, and up to 24 W (12 V × 2 A) per header with over-current protection. An RGB LED strip header is included for basic lighting customization. System management is handled by GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) software and the GIGABYTE EasyTune and System Information Viewer utilities. BIOS uses licensed AMI UEFI firmware stored on a 128 Mbit flash chip, with Q-Flash support for update convenience.
