ASRock B760M PG Lightning Intel B760 Motherboard

The ASRock B760M PG Lightning delivers robust performance for Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen processors in a compact Micro-ATX form factor. Built on the Intel B760 chipset with LGA1700 socket compatibility, this motherboard provides the foundation for a high-performance PC build with DDR5 memory support and PCIe 5.0 connectivity.

Power Delivery and Performance

The 7+1+1 power phase design with 50A Dr.MOS delivers stable power to the CPU and integrated graphics. This optimized VRM solution provides improved thermal performance and higher current delivery compared to traditional discrete MOSFETs. The 6-layer PCB construction ensures stable signal traces and efficient power delivery, particularly beneficial for memory overclocking with DDR5 modules up to 7200MHz (OC). Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles are supported for simplified overclocking.

Expansion and Storage Options

The motherboard features one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with reinforced steel construction and surface-mount technology for maximum stability with high-end graphics cards. An additional PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (x4 mode) provides expansion flexibility. Storage is comprehensive with four M.2 sockets: three Hyper M.2 slots supporting PCIe Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s) and one M.2 Key E for WiFi modules. Four SATA3 ports offer additional storage connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support.

Connectivity and I/O

Dragon 2.5GbE LAN provides networking speeds up to 2.5X faster than standard gigabit Ethernet, ideal for content creation, gaming, and media streaming. The rear I/O includes one USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C port, three USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, and two USB 2.0 ports. Display outputs include HDMI 2.1 (4K 60Hz) and DisplayPort 1.4 (8K 60Hz / 5K 120Hz) with HDCP 2.3 support.

Audio and Cooling

Realtek ALC897 7.1 CH HD Audio codec with Nahimic Audio enhancement delivers immersive sound quality with features like Sound Tracker, static noise suppression, and echo cancellation. The intelligent cooling design includes aluminum heatsinks for efficient thermal management. Six fan headers with automatic PWM/DC detection allow precise fan curve adjustments through ASRock's Fan-Tastic Tuning utility.

Software and Utilities

ASRock Auto Driver Installer eliminates the need for optical drives by pre-installing LAN drivers for easy system setup. Additional utilities include Phantom Gaming Tuning software, ASRock EZ Mode UEFI interface, and Instant Flash for BIOS updates. The motherboard supports Microsoft Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) with FCC and CE certifications.
