Unleash Peak Performance: Built for the Modern CPU

The GIGABYTE B760M GAMING WIFI6 PLUS GEN5 is a motherboard built to unlock the full potential of Intel’s latest and greatest processors. It is designed around the Intel B760 chipset and supports the 14th, 13th, and 12th Generation Intel® Core™, Pentium® Gold, and Celeron® processors. This broad compatibility gives you the flexibility to choose a CPU that perfectly fits your performance needs and budget, from a powerful gaming chip to a multi-core powerhouse.

Hybrid 6+2+1 Phases Digital VRM Solution: At the heart of the board’s performance is its uncompromising power delivery system. A Hybrid 6+2+1 phases digital VRM solution, featuring low RDS(on) MOSFETs, is engineered to provide a stable, clean, and efficient power supply to the CPU. This robust design is crucial for maintaining high clock speeds and preventing thermal throttling, ensuring your processor performs at its maximum potential during intense gaming sessions or demanding creative workloads. The use of solid pin power connectors further enhances this stability by providing a more reliable and durable connection, reducing signal degradation and improving overall power efficiency.

Next-Generation DDR5 Memory Support: The motherboard embraces the future of memory technology with support for dual-channel DDR5. The two DIMM slots are designed to handle up to 128GB of system memory, with support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) technology, allowing for memory speeds of up to 7800 MT/s and beyond. This enables you to take full advantage of the increased bandwidth and lower latency of DDR5, resulting in faster application loading, smoother multitasking, and a significant performance boost in memory-intensive games.

PCIe 5.0 and High-Speed Storage: The B760M GAMING WIFI6 is truly future-proofed with a full-sized PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. This cutting-edge slot doubles the bandwidth of the previous generation, providing a massive 32 GT/s data transfer rate per lane. This is essential for the latest high-performance graphics cards and future storage devices, ensuring that your system won’t be a bottleneck for years to come. The PCIe 5.0 slot is further fortified with GIGABYTE’s Ultra Durable™ SMD Armor, a one-piece stainless-steel shielding design that provides exceptional durability and retention force, protecting the slot from the strain of heavy GPUs.

For storage, the board features two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 connectors, which provide lightning-fast data transfer speeds for NVMe SSDs. This allows you to build a system with a super-fast primary boot drive and a secondary high-speed storage drive for your game library or video projects, dramatically reducing load times and improving overall system responsiveness. Additionally, four SATA 6Gb/s connectors provide ample room for traditional hard drives or SATA SSDs, with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations.

Superior Thermal and Cooling Design

High performance requires effective cooling, and the GIGABYTE B760M GAMING WIFI6 is designed to keep your system running cool and quiet.

Advanced Thermal Design: The board features a fully covered thermal design, including massive VRM heatsinks with an integrated molding process. These durable heatsinks provide a large surface area for superior heat dissipation, ensuring that the power delivery components remain cool and stable, even during prolonged, intense usage. This prevents thermal throttling and contributes to the longevity and reliability of your components.

Smart Fan 6: GIGABYTE’s innovative Smart Fan 6 technology offers comprehensive and precise cooling control. The board is equipped with multiple temperature sensors and several hybrid fan headers that can automatically detect whether a fan or a water-cooling pump is connected. This technology also includes the FAN STOP feature, which allows fans to completely stop spinning when the system is under light load, providing a silent computing experience. The user-friendly software allows for highly customizable fan curves with up to seven control points, enabling you to fine-tune your cooling performance to perfection.
