Motherboard MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI LGA1700 DDR5

MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI is an ATX motherboard for LGA 1700, aimed at mid-range to serious gaming and enthusiast builds. It combines the current chipset Intel B760 with support for DDR5 and 13th and 12th generation Intel Core processors. You also get modern networking capabilities with WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and 2.5GbE LAN, so you are covered for both wired and wireless connections. The board is a solid foundation for a gaming system with a powerful GPU and fast NVMe SSDs.

What you get

The LGA 1700 socket gives you a choice of the latest 13th and 12th generation Intel Core processors – from budget to multi-core models for serious gaming and work. The four DDR5 slots with a capacity of up to 128 GB and frequencies up to 7000+ MHz (OC) allow you to seriously boost memory frequency and keep multitasking under control. The three M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 x4 give you enough space for fast NVMe SSDs, with one directly connected to the CPU for minimal latency. For storing large volumes of data, you also have 4 x SATA3 ports and support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10. The built-in Realtek ALC897 7.1 audio takes care of decent sound without the mandatory need for a separate sound card.

• Support for processors for LGA1700 socket – 13th and 12th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron, providing flexibility for upgrades over time.
• DDR5 memory with up to 4 slots, maximum capacity 128 GB and frequencies up to 7000+ MHz (OC), suitable for fast gaming and heavy applications.
• Three M.2 slots: one from the CPU with PCIe 4.0 x4 and length up to 22110, plus two from the chipset with PCIe 4.0 x4 / SATA (for M.2_3), allowing flexible combinations of NVMe and M.2 SATA SSDs.
• 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 for mass storage, backup, and higher speed when needed.
• Network connectivity with Realtek 2.5GbE LAN for higher throughput than standard gigabit, plus WiFi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3 for modern wireless connection.
• Expansion slots: PCI_E1 PCIe 5.0 x16 from CPU for the main GPU, PCI_E2 PCIe 3.0 x4 and PCI_E3 PCIe 4.0 x1 from the chipset for additional cards (sound, capture, NVMe adapters, etc.).
• Power supply through 1 x 24-pin and 2 x 8-pin connectors, providing stable power for more serious processors and load.
• Built-in Realtek ALC897 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio, which covers gaming, movies, and voice chat without additional devices.

Who it is suitable for

This motherboard is suitable if you are building a modern Intel build with DDR5 – gaming at high settings, streaming, productivity, and working with heavy applications. It is also a good choice if you want a lot of fast NVMe space plus a stable network connection, without necessarily chasing the most expensive high-end chipset. It is not the optimal choice if you are aiming for maximum extreme OC platform or specific features beyond the capabilities of the B760.

The combination of LGA1700, DDR5 up to 7000+ MHz (OC), three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, and 2.5GbE + WiFi 6E makes MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI a very stable foundation for a long-term, balanced gaming and work build.
