Motherboard ASUS PRIME B760M-A WIFI - 90MB1EL0-M1EAY0

ASUS PRIME B760M-A WIFI is a micro ATX motherboard for LGA 1700, aimed at stable mid-range configurations with modern Intel processors and DDR5 memory. The combination of the Intel B760 chipset, support for 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen Intel Core, and DDR5 up to 7200+ MHz (OC) provides a very good balance between future-proofing and price. The built-in WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and 2.5Gb LAN save you additional cards and cables. The Micro ATX form factor allows for a compact yet serious gaming or work build.

What you get

The LGA 1700 socket and Intel B760 chipset allow you to use the entire range from 12th to 14th generation Intel Core, so you can start with a more affordable CPU and upgrade later. With 4 DDR5 slots and a maximum of 192 GB RAM, you have plenty of room for growth – from the typical 32 GB for gaming to serious productivity configurations and working with heavy projects. The two M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots mean fast NVMe SSDs for the system and games, while 4 x SATA3 provide space for classic HDD/SSD for storage and backup, including in RAID 0/1/5/10 configurations. The built-in WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are convenient if the case is far from the router or you want wireless peripherals without additional dongles. Realtek 7.1 HD audio is more than enough for a normal gaming setup or office, without needing a separate sound card.

• Works with the LGA 1700 socket and supports 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen Intel Core processors, giving you freedom in CPU choice now and for future upgrades.
• Support for DDR5 memory in 4 slots with a total capacity of up to 192 GB and frequencies up to 7200+ MHz (OC) for higher bandwidth and better system responsiveness.
• Two M.2 slots (Key M, 2242/2260/2280), both supporting PCIe 4.0 x4, for fast NVMe SSDs – one for OS, one for games or work projects.
• 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, suitable for a combination of SSD and HDD and more secure data storage.
• Three PCIe 4.0 x16 slots (one at x16, one at x4, and one at x1 mode), allowing for a main graphics card plus additional expansion cards like capture, audio, or additional storage controllers.
• Built-in network connectivity with WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.2, and Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet for fast and stable connection, whether wired or wireless.
• Realtek 7.1 Surround Sound HD audio provides multi-channel sound for gaming and movies without the need for a separate sound card.
• Standard power connector 24-pin + 8-pin, compatible with mainstream ATX power supplies and sufficient for a typical mid-range build.

Who it is suitable for

This motherboard is a very good choice for a gaming or work mid-range build with a single GPU, fast NVMe storage, and a need for WiFi 6 and 2.5Gb LAN. It is also suitable for more compact micro ATX cases where you want decent expansion without moving to a large ATX. If you are aiming for extreme overclocking or multi-GPU solutions, this is probably not the right motherboard.

The most sensible aspect here is the combination of DDR5, two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, and modern network connectivity (WiFi 6 + 2.5Gb LAN) in a compact micro ATX body. You get a stable foundation for a current Intel build without getting stuck in unnecessary high-end.
