MSI Pro B760M-A Wifi DDR5 Intel Motherboard

The MSI Pro B760M-A WiFi DDR5 is a Micro-ATX motherboard built around the Intel B760 chipset, designed to support 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors on the LGA 1700 socket. At 243.84 mm × 243.84 mm, this board fits standard mATX chassis while delivering a feature set suited to productivity builds, home workstations, and entry-to-mid-range gaming systems. Memory flexibility is a standout attribute. The board accommodates up to four DDR5 DIMM modules with a maximum capacity of 192 GB. Out-of-the-box JEDEC speeds begin at 4800 MHz, and Intel XMP profiles unlock frequencies up to 6800+ MHz in a single-DIMM-per-channel, single-rank configuration. Dual-channel operation is fully supported across all slots. For storage, two M.2 slots are provided — the primary slot (from CPU) supports PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drives, while the secondary (from chipset) supports both PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA modes, covering 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors. Both slots are protected by M.2 Shield Frozr heatsinks. Four additional SATA 6 Gb/s ports round out the storage options, with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support for SATA devices. Connectivity is a clear priority. An Intel Wi-Fi 6E module (pre-installed in the Key-E M.2 slot) supports tri-band operation on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands at up to 2.4 Gbps with MU-MIMO TX/RX and Bluetooth 5.3. A Realtek RTL8125BG controller delivers wired 2.5G LAN. USB provisioning spans rear and front headers: two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports on the rear I/O plus comprehensive Gen 1 and USB 2.0 headers ensure ample peripheral connectivity. The power delivery system uses a 12+1 Duet Rail phase design fed by 8-pin and 4-pin CPU power connectors, with MOSFET thermal pads rated at 7 W/mK and an extended heatsink for sustained load stability. Display output is handled by two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4 ports on the rear panel, each supporting up to 4K 60 Hz resolution when a processor with integrated graphics is installed. Audio is provided by a Realtek ALC897 codec with 7.1-channel High Definition Audio output. RGB customisation is available through two Addressable V2 (JARGB_V2) headers and one standard RGB (JRGB) header. Four EZ Debug LEDs assist with troubleshooting during POST. The board carries a 3-year warranty and supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit.
