GIGABYTE , one of the leading companies in high-performance and gaming hardware and components, announced Intel has launched its latest series of motherboards with the B760 chipset, which focuses on Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake processors. This lineup features an improved XMP and memory hardware design to squeeze out DDR5 and deliver similar performance to what can be achieved with the Z790 chipset with 7600Hz DDR5 memory, or so the brand says.
The new series of plates-GIGABYTE's motherboard with the B760 chipset features a VRM that delivers up to 60 amps of digital power with a full-coverage heatsink. This combination allows the products to support the proper operation of Intel's Raptor Lake (13th) generation processors.
As for connections, and this point depends on the model, the PCIe technology and the slots M.2-Latch are responsible for simplifying the upgrade of components such as graphics, dedicated sound cards (although they have been little used in the industry for years) and storage units in SSD format. This in addition to features, which may or may not be present depending on the model, such as 2.5Gbps Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C with data transmission speeds up to 20Gbps or more to three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot kits with shielding on select models .
M.2 EZ-Latch Plus technology replaces existing M.2 SSD screws with self-locking latches, reducing screw misalignment or loss to greatly simplify M.2 form factor SSD installation.
Thanks to the latest PerfDrive technology and the GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) software platform, the company provides a B760 platform with optimal hardware, software and firmware that covers DDR4 and DDR5 memories through ATX, Micro ATX and Micro ATX motherboard formats. Mini ITX .
Mentioning some aspects of specific models, the GIGABYTE B760 AORUS motherboard uses a 16+1+1 phase digital power system with 60 amp DrMOS design, while the B760 AORUS ELITE implements 12+1+1 phases and the B760M AORUS PRO 14+1+1. The thermal design of the MASTER, PRO, ELITE and GAMING X lines is made to improve stability and keep temperatures under control.
In addition to DDR5 support, GIGABYTE will also offer motherboard models with the B760 chipset capable of supporting DDR4. This opens the door for users to avoid having to buy everything new if they see that the gain that DDR5 brings is not worth it and prefer to reuse the DDR4 modules they already have in their possession.
GIGABYTE motherboard models featuring the B760 chipset and supporting DDR5 are implemented with a low-loss PCB with six-server capacity and state-of-the-art memory routing. The trace width and length of the DDR5 memory design are optimized by high-performance computing (HPC) simulation and are shielded under the inner PCB layer from external interference, bringing better memory performance and .overclocking This is in addition to the various high-bandwidth, low-latency BIOS settings that provide optimal memory performance in XMP and EXPO.. This unique GIGABYTE design allows the B760 platform to achieve speeds similar to DDR5-7600 memory with XMP on a Z790 chipset.
It's important to note that Intel's Z series of chipsets are the only ones that officially allow the overclock of the processor and memory. However, for years now the hardware has offered more than enough power by default, so the B760 chipset can be an excellent option for those who just want to assemble their components and use them without having to deal with complex configurations. On the other hand, overclock It's something that would be best not to do if you're not sure what you're doing.
To ensure RAM module compatibility, GIGABYTE has worked closely with manufacturers and suppliers such as ADATA, AORUS, Apacer, CORSAIR, CRUCIAL, G.SKILL, GEIL, GLOWAY, Kimtigo, KINGMAX, Kingston, Kingston FURY, KLEVV, Lexar, Micron, Neo Forza, OCPC, OLOY, PATRIOT, PNY, Samsung, Team Group, Thermaltake, Transcend and V-color.
With motherboards that implement the B760 chipset, GIGABYTE aims to expand its product catalog and cover a wider variety of user profiles, while maintaining its quality standards.
