MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI | Intel LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard

The MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard LGA 1700 ATX is built for UK system builders pairing Intel 12th or 13th Gen CPUs with high-speed DDR5 memory. It targets gamers and creators who need robust power delivery, multiple M.2 slots, and modern connectivity without the complexity of CPU overclocking. This board offers a solid foundation for a reliable, high-performance PC.

Slim Specifications

Extended Thermal Protection

This board uses an extended heatsink design to increase surface area for heat dissipation. It helps ensure high-end Intel processors can maintain boost clocks under sustained load. The heavy plated VRM heatsink covers the upper MOSFETs, directing heat away from critical power components.

M.2 Shield Frozr and Storage Options

Three M.2 slots support fast NVMe SSDs, and the primary slot includes the M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink. This prevents thermal throttling during long transfers or gaming sessions. You also get four SATA III ports for additional drives or bulk storage arrays.

PCIe 5.0 and SMT Slot Design

The top PCIe x16 slot is ready for next-generation graphics cards with PCIe 5.0 support. MSI uses Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for the PCIe slot to reduce electrical interference. This improves signal integrity and stability for heavy GPUs.

Connectivity and Networking

The rear I/O includes Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet for low-latency networking. Bluetooth 5.3 is built-in for wireless peripherals. You get USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C (20 Gbps) plus four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports for fast external devices.

Audio and Internal Headers

The board uses a Realtek ALC897 audio chip with 7.1-channel output for multi-speaker setups. Internal headers include USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1, front panel audio, and RGB LED pins. A TPM connector and S/PDIF out are also included for added security and audio flexibility.
