GIGABYTE B760M AORUS Pro AX Intel motherboard

Socket and chipset

This motherboard uses the Intel LGA 1700 socket paired with the B760 Express chipset. It accepts 12th and 13th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. The 14+1+1 phase power design supports stable CPU operation. Builders who need a different socket or chipset must choose another board.

Build integration

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support dual-channel memory up to 192 GB with speeds from 4000 to 7600 MT/s. Two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots provide high-speed storage and include thermal armor. The EZ-Latch Plus mechanism allows tool-free SSD installation. Front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C runs at 20 Gb/s while rear USB-C reaches 10 Gb/s. HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort outputs serve integrated graphics. A 2.5 GbE LAN port and Wi-Fi 6E handle networking. Buyers who need more than two M.2 slots or additional PCIe lanes should look elsewhere.

Bundled conveniences

Q-Flash Plus lets users update the BIOS without a CPU or memory installed. The M.2 thermal armor and EZ-Latch Plus reduce assembly time and help maintain SSD performance. Integrated Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5 GbE LAN remove the need for separate network cards. These features simplify the build process and reduce extra component purchases. Users who prefer manual BIOS flashing or discrete networking hardware will not benefit from these inclusions.
