Considerations & Community Feedback
While memory overclocking (via XMP) is supported- manual CPU multiplier overclocking is not supported due to chipset limitations
Voltage control is limited- meaning high-power CPUs (e.g.- Core i5/i7) may experience VRM thermal throttling (≈90 W workloads may push VRMs to ~98 °C) unless adequate VRM cooling is added .
Multiple users caution this board is best paired with CPUs up to 65 W TDP- or for light to moderate tasks like general office use- moderate gaming- or light editing x
Questions & Answers
Q: Which CPUs can I pair with this board?
A: Works with 12th–14th Gen Intel Core- Pentium Gold- or Celeron processors on LGA 1700 socket.
Q: Can I overclock RAM?
A: Yes. Supports DDR4 up to 4800 MHz (OC) using XMP profiles- and dual‑channel mode for better performance.
Q: Is it possible to overclock the CPU?
A: No. The B760 chipset does not support manual CPU multiplier overclocking- though it supports RAM overclocking via XMP
Q: Will it handle high-end CPUs?
A: It’s suitable for 65 W TDP CPUs. Higher power CPUs may cause VRM throttling- so extra VRM cooling is recommended for intensive workloads .
Q: What storage and GPU expansion options does it have?
A: Includes PCIe 4.0 x16 GPU slot- two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots- and four SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID support.
