Slim Specifications

Intelligent Control and Flexibility

ASUS Intelligent Control simplifies system tuning. It dynamically optimises essential aspects, offering simplified options for newcomers and comprehensive features for seasoned veterans. This allows you to match your PC’s performance to your workflow without unnecessary complexity.

The motherboard includes flexible tools for air and liquid cooling. ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans and AiO coolers. An Auto-Tuning mode configures parameters with a single click. An Extreme Quiet mode reduces chassis fan speeds for silent operation during light tasks.

Comprehensive Cooling Solutions

PRIME B760 series motherboards are engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks. These include VRM heatsinks and thermal pads to improve heat transfer from critical components. An M.2 heatsink is also included to prevent throttling during sustained storage transfers.

Hybrid fan headers allow for dynamic temperature referencing. Each header can reference three thermal sensors. This ensures your system remains stable under intense workloads, whether you are gaming or rendering.

Robust Power and Memory Performance

Stable power is essential for Intel processors. The PRIME B760M-A WIFI D4 features a robust power design with ProCool connectors. These solid-pin connectors pass 12 volts directly to the processor, handling more current than hollow-pin alternatives.

A six-layer PCB and Stack Cool 3+ design optimise heat management. This provides more headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds. ASUS OptiMem II technology maps memory signal pathways to reduce crosstalk, improving stability and allowing for lower latencies with DDR4 memory.

High-Speed Storage and Connectivity

This board supports two M.2 slots with data-transfer speeds up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and application load times when using OS or application drives on fast SSDs.

Connectivity includes a PCIe 4.0 slot for the latest GPUs. Wi-Fi 6 provides theoretical peak bandwidth up to 2.4 Gbps, optimised for crowded networks. Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead for faster data transfers. ASUS LANGuard offers hardware-level network protection for a more reliable connection.
