GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E GEN5
GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E GEN5
The GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE motherboard with Wi-Fi 6E Gen5 serves as the foundation for modern computer builds featuring Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th generation processors. This mATX model uses the Intel B760 chipset and the Intel 1700 socket, optimising performance with DDR5 memory modules. Four DIMM slots support dual-channel configuration and, thanks to XMP profiles, achieve frequencies of up to 7800 MT/s. The board introduces a PCIe 5.0 interface for graphics cards and future high-speed devices, paving the way to fully unlock their potential. For storage, it offers two M.2 slots with a PCIe 4.0 interface. The combination of fast 2.5GbE LAN and an Intel Wi-Fi 6E wireless module with Bluetooth 5.3 support ensures connectivity that covers all common network scenarios.

Performance and power
To ensure a stable power supply for multi-core Intel processors, a digital power system in a 12+1+1 phase configuration with 60A DrMOS is used. This solution efficiently manages CPU voltage even under heavy loads during gaming or work. For connection to the power supply, the board uses 8+4-pin power connectors for the CPU with UD Power Connector technology, which improves conductivity and contributes to better heat dissipation. A six-layer PCB with twice the copper content further helps maintain low temperatures and improves signal integrity for memory.
Cooling and thermal efficiency
The cooling system is built on large-surface passive heatsinks that completely cover the power delivery (VRM). For fast SSD storage, it offers the M.2 Thermal Guard heatsink, which prevents performance drops due to overheating during sustained data writing. Smart Fan 6 technology gives you control over the system fan curves, letting you create a quiet or a high-performance cooling profile. With multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers, the system responds precisely to the current load.
Connectivity and expansion
The board includes one reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with UD Slot construction for heavy graphics cards and one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot operating in x4 mode. You can connect storage via two M.2 slots with a PCIe 4.0 interface and four SATA 6Gb/s ports with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 arrays. The board integrates fast network connectivity and modern interfaces for peripherals. The rear panel includes a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port with a transfer speed of 20Gb/s, 2.5GbE LAN, and connectors for Wi-Fi 6E antennas with Bluetooth 5.3.
Assembly and management
Component assembly is made easier by features like PCIe EZ-Latch for simple graphics card removal and M.2 EZ-Latch Plus for installing M.2 drives without screws. The Q-Flash Plus function lets you update the BIOS without needing to install a processor, memory, or graphics card. The reinforced PCIe UD Slot increases mechanical durability for heavy graphics cards and protects against damage. For unified management, monitoring, and personalisation of RGB lighting, the GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) software simplifies the setup of the entire system.

Choosing a motherboard
When choosing a motherboard, it's important to pay particular attention to the socket type, format, and chipset. These are the most critical parameters that ensure the board is compatible with the processor, expansion cards, and other components. The specific socket determines your choice of processor, while the other connectors will dictate which components you need for your future PC.Specifications
