The GIGABYTE B760M DS3H AX DDR4 is a Micro-ATX motherboard designed for Intel LGA1700 desktop processors. Based on the Intel B760 chipset, it supports 12th, 13th and 14th Generation Intel Core processors and features DDR4 memory, dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 connectors, Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5GbE wired networking.
Intel LGA1700 Processor Platform
The motherboard supports compatible Intel Core processors from the 12th, 13th and 14th Generations, as well as supported Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. Its hybrid 6+2+1-phase digital VRM solution provides processor power delivery for compatible desktop configurations.
DDR4 Dual-Channel Memory
Four DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 128GB of system memory in a dual-channel configuration. Intel XMP memory profiles are supported, with overclocked memory speeds reaching up to 5333 MT/s depending on the processor and memory configuration.
PCIe Expansion and M.2 Storage
The primary PCIe 4.0 x16 slot supports compatible graphics cards and features GIGABYTE EZ-Latch for convenient card removal. Two PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 M.2 connectors provide storage options for compatible NVMe SSDs. Four SATA 6Gb/s connectors support additional storage drives.
The primary PCIe x16 slot has a specific usage limitation: it supports either a graphics card or an NVMe SSD. Consider this when planning the system's expansion configuration.
Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5GbE Networking
Integrated Wi-Fi 6E supports wireless networking across the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz frequency bands. Bluetooth is also included for compatible wireless peripherals. Realtek 2.5GbE LAN provides wired networking at speeds up to 2.5Gbps.
Display and USB Connectivity
The rear I/O provides HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs for compatible Intel processors with integrated graphics. USB connectivity includes a rear USB Type-C port supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2 at up to 10Gbps, alongside USB Type-A ports and internal USB headers.
Cooling and RGB Lighting
Smart Fan 6 provides temperature monitoring, configurable fan curves and hybrid fan control with Fan Stop support. Addressable LED and standard RGB LED headers support compatible lighting components.
