Gigabyte B760I AORUS PRO DDR4

Miniature motherboard from Gigabyte with LGA 1700 processor socket and Intel B760I mid-level system logic. It belongs to the middle class, in the hierarchy of the Aourus family, it is located between the advanced Aourus Master boards and the simplified Aourus Elite modifications. As planned by the manufacturer, the mini-ITX miniature form factor makes it the best candidate for assembling a compact and at the same time quite powerful gaming PC in the Cube Case format.

Supports installation of 12th and 13th generation Intel Core multi-core processors (Alder Lake and Raptor Lake). Thanks to the use of high-end components and a 10-phase power converter, the Gigabyte B760I AORUS PRO DDR5 can become a reliable foundation for a small but powerful system with a Core i5 / Core i7 processor, a GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card and a significant amount of memory.

Like almost all motherboards from Gigabyte, it stands out for the high quality of the element base, which extends the life of the board. The stability of the system is ensured by a whole complex, including a massive radiator for cooling the VRM zone, Thermal Guard M.2 heat sinks, as well as numerous thermal sensors controlled by the Smart Fan smart cooling system. By continuously receiving data from numerous thermal sensors, Smart Fan automatically adjusts the fan speed, maintaining the optimal balance between component heating, component performance and noise level.

The layout of the device slots implies various options for organizing a disk subsystem based on high-speed M.2 drives and standard HDD/SSD drives. The layout of ports for drives is familiar to the mini-ITX format: 4 SATA3 slots + 2 M.2 ports. To install RAM, 2 DIMM slots are provided with support for dual-channel operation and XMP technology. Unlike last year's Aorus Pro models, this iteration is geared towards next-generation DDR5 memory with impressive clock speeds up to 8000 MHz. And the maximum allowable volume can reach 96 GB, instead of the usual 64 GB. Network traffic is processed by a 2.5-gigabit LAN controller from Intel with a pre-installed Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.3 wireless receiver.
