MSI Pro B760M-P DDR5 Intel Motherboard

The MSI Pro B760M-P DDR5 is a Micro-ATX form-factor motherboard built on Intel’s B760 chipset, designed for 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors using the LGA 1700 socket. The board measures 243.84 mm x 243.84 mm and is compatible with Windows 11 and Windows 10 (64-bit). Memory support is a clear highlight: four DDR5 DIMM slots accept up to 192 GB of non-ECC unbuffered DDR5 memory. Speeds range from JEDEC-rated 4800 MHz up to 6800+ MHz under overclocking, with Intel XMP 3.0 profiles supported for straightforward memory tuning. MSI’s Dual-Controller Dual-Channel configuration is available to maximise bandwidth. For storage, the board provides two M.2 slots — the first drawing bandwidth directly from the CPU at up to PCIe 4.0 x4, and the second connected via the chipset at up to PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA mode. Both accept 2242, 2260, and 2280 devices. An M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink is fitted to help manage thermal output from high-performance NVMe drives. Four additional SATA 6 Gb/s ports support RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations. Expansion is handled by one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (CPU-connected) reinforced with Steel Armor against card flex, plus two PCIe 4.0 x1 slots from the chipset. Display output options on the rear panel include HDMI 1.4 (up to 4K 30 Hz), DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4K 60 Hz), and a VGA port for legacy monitors. USB connectivity spans USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbps) and USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) on the rear, with further USB 2.0 and Gen 1 headers internally. Networking is handled by a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller. Audio is managed by a Realtek ALC897 codec supporting 7.1-channel High Definition Audio. Additional features include four EZ Debug LEDs for simplified fault diagnosis, a single JRGB header for 5 V addressable LED strips, a TPM 2.0 header, Secure Boot support, and MSI’s M-Flash BIOS update utility. The board ships with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
