GIGABYTE B760M E

GIGABYTE B760M E

The GIGABYTE B760M E motherboard is a smart choice for users looking to build a computer based on the latest Intel technologies without incurring high costs. This motherboard comes in a Micro ATX size, making it ideal for compact and mid-sized cases, with strong support for the modern DDR5 memory technology.

GIGABYTE B760M E

1. Processor Support (Core Power)

This motherboard features an LGA1700 socket and an Intel® B760 chipset, providing it with tremendous flexibility in compatibility with three generations of Intel processors:

• 14th Generation (14th Gen).
  
• 13th Generation (13th Gen).
  
• The twelfth generation (12th Gen). The list includes Core™ processors, Pentium® Gold, and Celeron®, allowing you to start with an economical processor and upgrade later to an i7 or i9 processor without changing the motherboard.
  

2. High-Speed Random Access Memory (DDR5 Revolution)

The most notable feature of this release is the support for DDR5 memory, which provides much higher data transfer speeds and bandwidth compared to the previous generation:

• Incredible speeds: supports overclocking (O.C.) up to 7200 MT/s, which is an impressive figure for a board in this price range.
• Capacity: Two slots (2 DIMMs) support up to 128 GB (64 GB per module).
• Advanced technologies: Full support for XMP profiles for easy overclocking, and support for ECC memory (operating in non-ECC mode) for system stability.

3. Storage and Expansion Solutions

The motherboard provides high data transfer speeds for hard drives and graphics cards:

• Graphics card port: The PCIe 4.0 x16 port provides a high bandwidth for modern graphics cards.
  
• High-speed storage (M.2): It has two M.2 slots (PCIe 4.0 x4), which means you can install two NVMe SSDs for instant Windows and gaming load speeds.
• Traditional storage: 4 SATA 6Gb/s ports for installing traditional HDD or SSD drives, with support for RAID systems (0, 1, 5, 10) for data protection or speed enhancement.

4. Display Options and Integrated Graphics

If you do not plan to use an external graphics card, the motherboard provides excellent support for processors with integrated graphics (iGPU) with the ability to run 3 displays simultaneously:

1. HDMI 2.1: Supports resolutions up to 4K (4096x2160@60 Hz).
2. DisplayPort 1.2: Supports high resolution (4096x2304@60 Hz).
   
3. D-Sub (VGA): A classic port for older monitors (Full HD), which is a rare and useful feature in office environments.

5. Connectivity and Networks

• The network (LAN): The Realtek® GbE LAN chip provides a stable wired connection speed suitable for gaming and downloading.
  
• Rear USB ports:
  • 4 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (for high data transfer speed).
  • 2 USB 2.0 ports (for mouse and keyboard).
• Internal USB headers: the ability to connect more ports to the front panel.

6. Sound and Cooling

• Audio: Realtek® Audio CODEC supports up to 7.1 channel audio (High Definition Audio), with good noise isolation.
  
• Smart Cooling (Smart Fan):
  • It contains multiple temperature sensors.
  • Hybrid fan heads (suitable for regular fans or water cooling pumps).
  • Fan Stop feature: The fans completely stop when the temperature drops to reduce noise.
