ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS D4 LGA1700 DDR4 Motherboard

ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS D4 is an ATX motherboard with a LGA 1700 socket and Intel B760 chipset, aimed at a stable mid-range build with DDR4 memory. It is ideal if you want to combine a new generation Intel processor with already available DDR4 RAM or simply save on the more expensive DDR5. You get a modern set of slots – PCIe 5.0 x16 for a graphics card and a total of 3 x M.2 for fast NVMe SSDs. The ATX form factor gives you enough space for expansions and better cooling in a suitable case.

What you get

The motherboard supports 13th and 12th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors, so you can start with a budget CPU and later upgrade to a stronger one without changing the motherboard. With up to 128 GB DDR4 RAM in 4 slots and dual-channel mode, you have comfort for gaming, streaming, and serious multitasking. The three M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 support allow you to separate the system – a separate SSD for OS, games, and work – without dealing with cables, while 4 x SATA3 provide space for large HDD/SSD for archiving and media. The built-in Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet network is a serious upgrade over 1Gb, especially if you use a fast NAS or local transfer of large files.

• LGA 1700 socket supporting 13th and 12th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron, giving you a wide choice of processors for different budgets.
• Intel B760 chipset, aimed at practical builds without unnecessary extras, but with all modern features for everyday gaming and work.
• 4 DDR4 slots supporting up to 128 GB and frequencies up to 5066 MHz, so you can use fast memory and leave room for future upgrades.
• A total of 3 x M.2 slots (PCIe 4.0 x4 / x2), allowing several NVMe SSDs for fast loading of Windows, games, and projects without SATA limitations.
• 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, suitable for a combination of large HDDs for storage or mirrored copies for more secure data.
• Main PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for the graphics card, ensuring maximum compatibility with future GPU generations and sufficient bandwidth.
• Built-in Realtek 7.1 Surround Sound audio, which is fully sufficient for gaming, movies, and voice chat without the mandatory need for a separate sound card.
• Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet LAN for higher network speed compared to standard 1Gb solutions – a plus for online gaming and network work.
• Standard power connectors – 1 x 24-pin and 1 x 8-pin, compatible with mainstream ATX PSUs on the market.

Who it is suitable for

This motherboard is a very good choice for a mid-range gaming or work computer with Intel 12/13 gen and DDR4, if you want to balance price and features. It is also suitable for people who have quality DDR4 memory and do not want to switch to a more expensive DDR5 platform. If you are looking for built-in Wi-Fi or extreme overclocking, you should rather look at a higher-class model.

The combination of PCIe 5.0 x16, three M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots, and support for up to 128 GB DDR4 makes ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS D4 a very reasonable foundation for a modern and long-term build without unnecessary extras to pay for.
