LGA 1700 · B760 · Micro-ATX · DDR4
We have not tested this board, and nothing here is a measured result. Every figure below is based on published specifications, with GIGABYTE's own specification page as the source of record and the trade coverage listed under Sources as corroboration. GIGABYTE sells several boards with almost the same name, so every number here was checked against the page for this exact model. Where we could not verify a figure for this model, we do not print one.

The B760M GAMING WIFI6E DDR4 GEN5 is a Micro-ATX board for Socket LGA 1700 built on Intel's B760 chipset. It is a 2026 refresh of an older B760M design, and the reason it exists is the combination in its name: DDR4 memory and a PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot on the same board.
That combination is unusual. Most LGA 1700 boards offering a Gen5 graphics slot also require DDR5. With DDR5 kits still expensive, a board that takes the DDR4 sticks you already own while leaving the graphics slot ready for a Gen5 card is a specific answer to a specific problem.
The compromises are equally specific, and both are covered below: the memory layout is two slots rather than the four this segment usually offers, and PCIe 5.0 stops at the graphics slot.
| Socket | LGA 1700 |
| Chipset | B760 |
| Form Factor | Micro-ATX |
| CPU Support | Intel 12th / 13th / 14th Gen Core |
| Memory | DDR4, 2 DIMM slots, up to 64GB |
| PCIe Slots | 1x PCIe 5.0 x16, 1x PCIe 3.0 x1 |
| M.2 Slots | 2x M.2 (both PCIe 4.0 x4) |
| SATA Ports | 4 |
| WiFi | Wi-Fi 6E |
| Bluetooth | Yes, version not verified |
| LAN | 2.5G |
| Audio | 8-channel HD audio, codec not verified |
| Power Phases | 6+2+1 |
This is the single most important thing to understand about this board, and the easiest thing to get wrong when a product name ends in GEN5.
Alongside the M.2 sockets there are four SATA 6 Gb/s ports, the usual count for a Micro-ATX board of this size.
If your priority is the fastest storage on the market rather than the fastest graphics link, this is the wrong board. Based on published specifications, its Gen5 lanes go to the graphics slot and nowhere else.
The board has two DDR4 DIMM slots and supports up to 64GB in dual channel, with XMP profiles for kits that carry them. Do not assume the memory layout our other B760M reviews describe: many Micro-ATX B760 boards fit four memory slots, and this one does not.
In practice that matters in two ways. A 2 x 32GB kit fills the board and 64GB is the ceiling, so there is no headroom later. And with only two slots there is no cheap upgrade path from a 2 x 8GB kit; you replace what is in there rather than adding to it. Buy the capacity you want up front.
The upside of a two-slot layout is that it is the easier configuration for a memory controller to drive, which is part of why dual-slot boards often hold higher speeds. We have not tested that on this board and are not claiming it.
GIGABYTE lists a hybrid 6+2+1-phase design. That is mid-range power delivery for the B760 tier, and it is a step behind the 8-phase-plus arrangements on the pricier boards in GIGABYTE's own B760M range.
Based on published specifications, it is sized for the 65 W and mid-range 13th and 14th Gen parts most B760 buyers pair with a board like this. B760 does not permit CPU overclocking anyway, so the phase count matters mainly for sustained all-core loads on a higher-TDP chip. If that describes your build, look at a heavier VRM.
Wired networking is 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. Wireless is Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth, added alongside the wired port rather than in place of it, so you can run both.
Wi-Fi 6E adds the 6 GHz band to what Wi-Fi 6 already offered. That band is short-range but far less congested than the older ones, which is the practical benefit in a block of flats or an office. It needs a router that supports it.
Audio is 8-channel HD audio. GIGABYTE's marketing copy for this board describes the audio capacitors rather than the codec, and we could not verify a codec model number for this exact SKU, so the specification table above says so instead of naming one.
GIGABYTE sells at least four boards whose names differ from this one by a single word, and their specifications are not interchangeable. Rather than fill gaps from a sibling model's spec sheet, we have left them open:
We will fill these in when we can confirm them against GIGABYTE's page for this model, and not before.
Someone building on LGA 1700 who already owns a DDR4 kit and wants the graphics slot to be the part that is not obsolete in three years. That is a narrow group, but it is a real one, and almost nothing else on the market serves it.
It is the wrong board if you want a Gen5 boot drive, if you want more than 64GB of memory, or if you are buying a whole platform from scratch, in which case a current socket with DDR5 is the better starting point. Whether it is good value depends on a price we cannot confirm.
