Intel B760 micro ATX motherboard

The MSI PRO B760M-E is a micro ATX board built around the Intel B760 chipset and LGA 1700 socket. It supports 12th and 13th generation Intel Core processors as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. Two DDR4 slots accept up to 64 GB of memory with XMP overclocking profiles up to 4800 MHz. One PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot handle graphics and add-in cards.

EZ M.2 clip and PCIe 4.0 storage

A single M.2 slot sourced from the chipset runs at PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA and fits 2280, 2260 or 2242 drives. The tool-free EZ M.2 clip removes the need for a mounting screw during installation. Four SATA 6 Gbps ports provide additional capacity for 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives. PCIe 4.0 on the primary x16 slot doubles the bandwidth of the previous generation to 64 GB/s.

Builders using 12th or 13th gen Intel on a budget

This board suits systems that need integrated graphics output through HDMI 1.4 or VGA and only require one M.2 drive. It is not for buyers who want more storage lanes than the single chipset M.2 slot provides or who need more than two memory slots for four-DIMM kits. Builders planning multiple graphics cards or extensive rear I/O should look at something else.
