MSI Pro B760M-E DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The MSI PRO B760M-E DDR4 is a business-oriented Micro-ATX motherboard built around the Intel B760 chipset and LGA 1700 socket. It supports 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors, giving builders and upgraders a broad choice of compatible CPUs. The board accepts up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory across two DIMM slots, with JEDEC speeds from 2133 MHz up to 3200 MHz and overclocking profiles reaching 4800 MHz (OC) in 1DPC 1R configuration via Intel XMP, supported by an isolated DDR circuit designed to minimise signal interference. Storage flexibility is provided by one M.2 slot capable of PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA mode for 2242, 2260, and 2280 form-factor drives, along with four SATA 6 Gbps ports. The board supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 across SATA devices. The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 (from CPU) and features MSI Steel Armor reinforcement to brace heavier graphics cards and reduce electromagnetic interference at the slot contact points. A secondary PCIe 3.0 x1 slot is also present. Display output is handled through an HDMI 1.4 port (HDR capable, up to 4K at 30 Hz) and a legacy VGA port, both active only when a processor with integrated graphics is installed. Networking uses a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller. Audio is powered by a Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel High Definition Audio. Connectivity includes 4x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A on the rear panel, plus front-panel headers for 4x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A. Onboard fan headers cover one CPU fan and two system fans, with Frozr AI Cooling available to automatically adjust speeds based on thermal readings. Additional internal headers include RGB LED (JRGB), chassis intrusion, COM port, TPM 2.0 pin header, and four EZ Debug LEDs for straightforward troubleshooting. The board measures 200 mm × 236.16 mm in standard Micro-ATX format and carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty. It supports Windows 11 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit.
