MSI Pro B760M-A Wifi DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The MSI Pro B760M-A WiFi DDR4 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on Intel's B760 chipset, designed to support 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors via the LGA1700 socket. Whether you are assembling a productivity workstation or a home office PC, this board brings a well-rounded feature set at a compact 243.84 mm x 243.84 mm footprint that fits most Micro ATX cases. At the heart of its power delivery sits a 12+1+1 VRM configuration paired with dual CPU power connectors (2x CPU_PWR) and one ATX main power connector (ATX_PWR). MSI's Core Boost technology works alongside this design to help sustain stable power delivery during prolonged workloads. Memory support spans four DDR4 DIMM slots capable of holding up to 128 GB in dual-channel configuration. The board accommodates a wide range of DDR4 frequencies, from JEDEC standard 2133 MHz up to 5333 MHz via overclocking, giving builders flexibility to match their existing memory kits. Connectivity is a strong suit. The onboard Realtek RTL8125BG controller delivers 2.5 Gbps wired LAN, while built-in Wi-Fi provides wireless networking without requiring an add-in card. For storage, four SATA 6 Gb/s ports handle traditional drives, and the EZ M.2 clip system simplifies tool-free M.2 SSD installation. Display output options on the rear panel include one HDMI port and one DisplayPort, both served by the CPU's integrated graphics when a discrete GPU is not installed. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel HD audio. Expansion slots include one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (from CPU), one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot (from chipset), and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot (from chipset), offering room for a dedicated GPU and additional cards. Rear USB connectivity spans USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps, Type-A), USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps, Type-A), and USB 2.0 ports, alongside a PS/2 combo port for legacy peripherals. RGB enthusiasts can extend lighting via the Mystic Light Extension header, which controls additional RGB strips and peripherals through MSI Center software — the same unified utility that manages other board features and monitoring.
