MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WIFI DDR5 Intel Motherboard

The MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WIFI DDR5 is an ATX form-factor motherboard built on the Intel B760 chipset, designed for Intel LGA1700-socket processors including 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron families. Its four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 128 GB of memory, with JEDEC profiles from 4800 MHz through 5600 MHz and overclocked profiles reaching 7000+ MHz under the 1DPC 1R configuration, leveraging MSI’s Memory Boost technology and SMT-welded slots for signal integrity. Storage connectivity is served by three M.2 slots — M.2_1 from the CPU at PCIe 4.0 x4, and M.2_2 and M.2_3 from the chipset at PCIe 4.0 x4 (M.2_3 also supports SATA mode) — alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. Each M.2 slot is covered by an M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink to keep drives at stable operating temperatures. The primary PCIe slot (PCI_E1) runs PCIe 5.0 x16 directly from the CPU, enabling compatibility with the latest discrete graphics cards. An extended VRM heatsink and heavy-plated design with 7 W/mK MOSFET thermal pads cover the 12+1+1 Duet Rail power delivery stage fed by dual 8-pin CPU power connectors, ensuring stable power delivery to demanding processors. Wireless connectivity is handled by an Intel Wi-Fi 6E module (pre-installed in the M.2 Key-E slot) supporting 802.11ax on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands at up to 2.4 Gbps with MU-MIMO, paired with Bluetooth 5.3. Wired networking uses a Realtek 2.5 Gbps LAN controller. Audio is provided by a Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel output with S/PDIF optical output. The rear I/O panel includes HDMI 2.1 (4K 60 Hz with HDR, iGPU-dependent), DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 8K 60 Hz, iGPU-dependent), four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port (20 Gbps), and two USB 2.0 ports. Internal headers add four USB 2.0, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C front-panel connections. The board features two ARGB V2 and two standard RGB headers, four EZ Debug LEDs, and a TPM 2.0 header. The 6-layer PCB uses 2 oz copper construction on an ATX footprint of 243.84 mm × 304.8 mm.
