MSI Pro B760M-P DDR4 M-ATX Motherboard

The MSI Pro B760M-P DDR4 is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on Intel's B760 chipset for the LGA 1700 socket. It is designed to support Intel Core 12th, 13th, and 14th generation processors, as well as Intel Pentium Gold and Celeron processors, making it a versatile platform for office workstations, home systems, and budget-conscious builds that still demand modern connectivity. Memory support is a strong point of this board, with four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodating up to 128 GB of non-ECC, unbuffered DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration. The board supports Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) and can run memory at JEDEC-standard speeds from 2133 MHz up to an overclocked maximum of 4800+ MHz (1DPC 1R configuration), giving builders flexibility across a wide range of DDR4 kits. Storage options include two M.2 slots — the primary M.2_1 slot connects directly to the CPU and supports PCIe 4.0 x4 at speeds up to NVMe Gen4 performance, while M.2_2 connects via the chipset and supports both PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA mode. Both slots accommodate 2242, 2260, and 2280 form-factor drives. Four SATA 6 Gbps ports are also provided, with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support for SATA arrays. Note that SATA5 is disabled when an M.2 SATA drive is installed in the M.2_2 slot. Display output for systems using integrated graphics includes one HDMI 1.4 port (up to 4K at 30 Hz), one DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4K at 60 Hz), and one VGA port (up to 1920×1200 at 60 Hz). A single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (from CPU) accommodates a discrete GPU, reinforced with MSI Steel Armor to protect against card sag and electromagnetic interference. Two additional PCIe 4.0 x1 slots (from chipset) are available for expansion cards. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel High Definition Audio. Networking is via a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller. USB connectivity on the rear panel includes four USB 2.0 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Type-A port, and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-C port. Front-panel USB headers add four USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Type-A ports. Internal headers include one JRGB connector for 5V RGB LED strips, a TPM 2.0 pin header, chassis intrusion header, legacy COM and printer port headers, and four EZ Debug LEDs for quick fault diagnosis. The board carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty and is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). --- Verified Specifications --- Chipset: Intel B760 | Socket: LGA 1700 | Form Factor: Micro-ATX (243.84 × 243.84 mm) CPU Support: Intel Core 12th / 13th / 14th Gen, Pentium Gold, Celeron (LGA 1700) Memory: 4× DDR4 DIMM, max 128 GB, dual-channel, XMP supported, up to 4800+ MHz (OC) M.2 Slots: 2× (M.2_1 PCIe 4.0 x4 from CPU; M.2_2 PCIe 4.0 x4 / SATA from chipset), 2280/2260/2242 SATA: 4× SATA 6 Gbps | RAID: 0, 1, 5, 10 (SATA) Expansion: 1× PCIe 4.0 x16, 2× PCIe 4.0 x1 Audio: Realtek ALC897, 7.1-channel HD Audio LAN: Realtek RTL8111H, 1 Gbps Rear USB: 4× USB 2.0, 1× USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps), 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbps) Display: 1× HDMI 1.4 (4K@30Hz), 1× DP 1.4 (4K@60Hz), 1× VGA (1920×1200@60Hz) — iGPU only OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit) | Warranty: 3 Years
