MSI B760M Bomber WIFI DDR5 Intel Motherboard

The MSI B760M Bomber WIFI is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on Intel's B760 chipset, designed to support 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core processors, as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron processors using the LGA 1700 socket. It combines a compact mATX form factor (220 mm × 243.84 mm) with a well-rounded feature set suited to both gaming builds and productivity workstations. On the memory side, two DDR5 slots accommodate up to 96 GB of RAM. The board supports JEDEC profiles at 4800, 5000, 5200, 5400, and 5600 MHz, and overclocked profiles reaching 6400+ MHz in single-rank, single-DIMM-per-channel configurations. Connectivity is a clear strength of this board. An Intel Wi-Fi 6E module — pre-installed in the onboard M.2 Key-E slot — delivers tri-band operation across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands with 160 MHz channel support and MU-MIMO TX/RX, reaching up to 2.4 Gbps wirelessly. Wired networking is handled by a Realtek RTL8125B controller providing 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. Bluetooth 5.3 is also included via the same Intel wireless module. Storage options include two M.2 slots, both supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 devices in the 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors; the second M.2 slot additionally supports SATA-mode drives. Four SATA 6 Gbps ports round out local storage. Note that one SATA port (SATA7) becomes unavailable when an M.2 SATA SSD is installed in the second M.2 slot. RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported across SATA devices. Display output for integrated graphics is covered by HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K 60 Hz with HDR), DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4K 60 Hz), and a legacy D-Sub/VGA port. The single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot from the CPU accepts a discrete graphics card, reinforced by MSI's Steel Armor bracket. A secondary PCIe 4.0 x1 slot is available from the chipset. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel HD audio. RGB customisation is supported via two Addressable V2 (ARGB) headers and one standard RGB header, complemented by four EZ Debug LEDs for straightforward troubleshooting. TPM 2.0 is supported via the onboard header.
