UPDATE AS OF 2024: This motherboard now supports Intel's 14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh" processors with a BIOS update available for download from ASUS's website! Check out the written review for this motherboard here: www.alktech.co/articles/review-asus-prime-b760m-a-wifi-d4-motherboard
Yes it will, though this board is an entry-level board and will very likely throttle the performance of the 13700KF due to its VRM setup. I'd recommend looking at a mid-range board at least for a 13700KF, perhaps something from the TUF Gaming range if you're looking for an ASUS board!
I see you did not mention it supports USB C but on Amazon it says it supports USB C: front USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type- C. Can you tell me where is that located and if i buy a Corsair 4000 Airflow Mid tower, will the USB C it has in front work??
USB Type-C support is mentioned at 3:45 of the video, that's where I point out the location of the front panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C header. The said header should work with the Corsair 4000D's front panel USB Type-C connector!
Hi there, a 14500 will work with this board for sure. Just gotta make sure it has the latest BIOS version on board that supports 14th Gen CPUs - if you're buying older stock from a retailer, the board may still have an older BIOS revision that doesn't yet support 14th Gen.
Please tell me about "ASUS PRIME B760M-K D5 " Motherboard , Should I buy this one because the M-A is out of budget for me. Also mention if any side effect of buying M-K Mobo.
What processor will you be using for your build? Both boards are on the low-end side of things, so I wouldn't use them with mid-to-high-end processors such as the 13600K, 14700K etc as they will probably be throttled by the motherboards' low-end VRM setup. That said, looking at the specs sheet for the B760M-K, the key difference is that it doesn't have built in WIFI and uses DDR5 memory instead of DDR4 with the B760M-A WIFI D4. Other than that, both boards are rather similar...
@@ALKtech First, the "M-K" model also has D5 motherboards, so I'm considering a D5 motherboard. I'm currently looking for a motherboard for my i5 12400F, but my main goal is to ensure it supports future upgrades to an i7 13th or 14th Gen, but I'm confused between the "M-A" and "M-K" models. Someone told me the "M-A" has better cooling with more heatsinks, while the "M-K" has only one. If I can afford the "M-A," would it be worth it in terms of performance and future-proofing? (But it will be very tough for me, due to budget) I'm unsure which one to choose. Can you guide me on this?
@@alii942 yup you're right in that the M-K has one less VRM heatsink versus the M-A. If your intention is to upgrade to a 13th/14th Gen i7 further down the road, my take is that both the M-K and M-A variants won't be any good, as they should share the same VRM setup that isn't really designed for high-end processors, and the last thing you'd want is to spend so much money on an i7, only to have it throttled by the motherboard. If budget is an issue, have you considered other brands of motherboards such as Gigabyte, MSI or even ASRock? ASUS does tend to command a price premium simply due to branding reasons!
Safe to assume 1A - Tis the norm. If you're wondering, Yes you can do 4 fans on one header on this board (I have) But its best to stick to a maximum of 3 per header just to be safe.
The thing about the PRIME B760 series of boards is that they don't have very good VRM setups; while a 12700KF will work for sure, it might not be able to perform to its maximum potential especially under CPU-intensive productivity workloads (e.g. video rendering, code compilation etc). If you're intending to use your PC for just gaming purposes, you might just get by. My two cents!
Nope, I'd look at getting a mid-range B760 board instead. This is because the VRMs for this board are not the best out there and meant more for lower-end processors - it'll probably throttle a 13600K and prevent it from performing at its best. If you're looking at ASUS boards, you might wanna check out their TUF Gaming line-up for something with a better power delivery solution!
Hey bro which motherboard is good for pairing rtx 3070 and i5 12400f with some overclocking like asus prime b760m a wifi or msi pro b760m a wifi or msi b760 bomber wifi or gigabyte b760m ax ds3h wifi ? I want good value and for gaming and editing purposes so which one do you prefer ? Is msi b760 bomber wifi enough for me ?
You won't be able to overclock with any B760 motherboards unfortunately, as Intel did not design the B760 chipset to support overclocking. In addition, the 12400F isn't a chip that comes with an unlocked multiplier, so you won't be able to overclock with that either. You'll have to look at getting a Z790 motherboard and a K-series CPU (e.g. 12600K, 13600K etc) if you're intending to overclock. Otherwise, if you're sticking with a 12400F+B760 combo, the deciding factor would be price for me when choosing between the ASUS, MSI or Gigabyte. How's the pricing like for these boards where you're from?
@@ALKtech but the msi one have good cpu power connection its like 12+1+1 and the gigabyte one is 6+2+1 and idk the asus so which one would you recommend?
@@ThethundergodZenitsu yup the MSI does indeed have a better VRM setup, but given that you're using a 12400F (which doesn't consume a whole lot of power), the better VRM specs would be "wasted" in that sense, unless of course you have the intention to upgrade to a better processor in the future (e.g. a 14th Gen, in which case getting the MSI might be the better option as it'd give you the overhead to have a better and more power-hungry processor).
@@ALKtech so can i go for msi b760m bomber wifi ddr5 ? Im getting this only for 150$ and the gigabyte and the asus one is like 180 and the msi one is 190$
You can't overclock a non-K processor, nor can B760 motherboards be used to overclock! That said, a 12700F might just get by with this board, though I personally would make sure I've got good airflow in my PC case to try and reduce the VRM temperatures as much as possible. Have you tried running benchmarks such as Cinebench R23 to see how your 12700F is performing with this board?
@@chillingsk I think a 13500 will work decently well with this board, though if you have the budget for it, I'd still top-up a bit more to get a better board with a slightly better VRM!
Yo man, i've got a question. I'm buying RTX 4060 + I5-12400f. Which motherboard should i go for - ASUS PRIME B760M WITHOUT THE WIFI OR THE GIGABYTE B760M DDR4? Also what is the diffrence with asus with wifi and the one without? Only the fact that one doesn't have a wifi option and ethernet is needed? Thanks for the answers.
Hey there! For a 12400F (which isn't a power hungry chip), either the ASUS or Gigabyte will do just fine, and the more important question is whether do you need WIFI or not. If you're intending to use a wired internet connection, save the money and get whichever board's the cheapest where you're from!
@@ALKtech I don't need a wifi but the asus one without it is not currently available so I'm gonna get one with WiFi cause its on the sale therefore the price is the same.
@@kazawircf7512Hello my friend,i hope you're well...after 3,4 months from your question did you buy the MB?! I really need your experience because i want to buy this type of mother board but I don't know how much is the wifi option powerful :( I'm stuck Between B760 wifi and B660 non wifi :(
Both boards are rather similar and for me, the deciding factor would be price. Is there a significant price difference between both boards where you're from?
I have purchased its ddr 5 variant.. Want to know whether its DP AND hdmi port will work with i5 12400 f processor or i have to use graphic card ports only for display
I wouldn't use an i7 CPU with this board - the VRM setup isn't the best and would likely throttle an i7's performance. The highest I'd go with this CPU is perhaps a Core i5-13400/14400 or lower!
This is the best asus motherboard ive ever used mainly because it has 0 issues lol. This board also allowa for ddr5 correct? I thought Nvm you got the d4 my bad. What shocks me is the A version none d4 works flawlessly even with ddr5 6000.
I haven't had the chance to test this board with a high-end processor - if you use a low-to-mid-range processor (e.g. 13100, 13400 etc), you shouldn't encounter any VRM thermal throttling issues. Overheating might come into play if you're using a power-hungry processor such as the 13700K or even 13900K...
Yes you can, though I would still try to go for a higher-end motherboard, as I have a feeling that the B760M-A WIFI D4's VRMs may throttle the 12700K under heavy workloads, given that this motherboard is quite entry-level after all!
My Deepcool LS720 SE fans and cooler ARGB don't work with the ARGB headers of the board. They say it's because it's ARGB Gen 2? Has anybody ever had a similar problem and what workaround can we do? Thanks
Have you tried connecting the fans to a different aRGB connector on the board to see if it makes any difference? Are the fans even detected within ASUS's Armoury Crate software?
@@ALKtech yes I tried it on all the 3 ARGB connectors. I even tried other fans but none of them seem to work. Armoury Crate cannot detect them. Only my RAM. Found that there was an option to change ARGB gen 2 to gen 1 in AC before but it's gone now.
Hey there, there's no need to update the BIOS to use this with a 12th Gen processor like the 12400F! You'll only need to update the BIOS if you're intending to get the latest 14th Gen processors.
The best way to confirm would be to check out the motherboard specification's page on the respective brand website, under the WIFI or Connectivity section!
Hello, by overclock, do you mean pushing the RAM beyond 3600 MHz? You can, but as with all ram overclocks, your mileage may vary and you could face instability issues. It's worth noting that this board is more of an entry-level offering, so don't expect too much!
@@ALKtech What I mean is that I have 16gb 3600mhz ddr4 ram, if I install my ram on this motherboard of course it has to be overclocked because this motherboard only supports up to 3200 mhz. while the i5 12400f only supports 3200 mhz on ddr4. So the question is, can it be up and running at 3600 MHz?
@@GTASAMOD-cb7dg thanks for clarifying. To be frank, it'll be very much a luck of the draw kinda situation - I've seen folks who managed to get DDR4 3600 RAM kits running stably with a 12400F, while some folks keep getting BSODs. If you really wanted to be safe, I'd just get DDR4 3200 RAM kits and leave them at their default XMP profile with a 12400F!
The non-WIFI version is nearly identical, apart from the lack of an onboard WIFI module and the fact that the non-WIFI version ditches one of the two VRM heatsinks. What processor are you intending to use, and what's the price difference between the WIFI and non-WIFI variants where you're from?
I'd recommend getting a better motherboard, the 13700K will likely be throttled by this board's entry-level VRM setup. Go for a mid-range B760 board, perhaps something from the TUF Gaming line-up if you're looking to get ASUS!
It does actually, they're not directly integrated on the board. The feature is called Q-LED CORE, and ASUS uses your PC case's power LED to show POST issues (if any)! www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1047023/
I'd probably go for the cheapest option as all three boards are quite similar and support the 13500 - I'm guessing the cheapest board would be the MSI PRO B660M-A WIFI DDR4, as it's considered a last gen product... Do note though, that you'll very likely need to do a BIOS update first for the MSI B660 board before the 13500 will work with it, and this could be a bit of a hassle if you do not have a 12th Gen CPU lying around, as the MSI B660 board does not come with a feature that allows you to update the BIOS without installing a CPU/RAM/graphics card first...
@@chillingsk it'll work with a 12700K, but again, given that this board doesn't have a strong VRM setup, you may encounter performance throttling especially under heavy productivity workloads!
You can simply use one of the three aRGB headers that this board comes with, perhaps one of the two closer to where the 24-pin PSU connector is on the motherboard. Check 6:25 of this video to see where they're located!
If you're intending to use a lower-end Intel processor (e.g. mid to lower range 13th/14th Gen Core i5/i3 processors for instance, such as the i5-13400, i3-14100 etc, this board will work just fine. You should probably look at getting a graphics card with a GPU such as the RTX 4060 - such a combo would be good for 1080p gaming on high-ish settings for most modern games.
I think it MIGHT just get by with a 13600K, though personally, I would recommend looking at a higher-end B760 board instead, perhaps from the TUF Gaming series if you're keen on an ASUS offering. This is because the VRM setup on this PRIME board isn't very beefy!
@@vishaldas5758 if you have the budget for it, I'd personally get the TUF Gaming B760M over the PRIME for a 13600K! If you're looking for alternatives to ASUS, you could potentially consider boards such as the Gigabyte B760M AORUS ELITE, or the MSI MAG B760M series. That said, you'll want to make sure you get the right type of board too to match the RAM that you have/will be getting, as B760 and Z790 boards come in DDR4 and DDR5 variants.
It has Q-LED Core, where you'll need to refer to your PC case's power LEDs to see the flashing pattern to determine the error code when booting up. You can check this page here for more info: www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1047023/
The board comes with a WIFI antenna as shown in 1:13 of the video - you'll have to make sure that you've got the antenna set up in order to use the WIFI feature properly.
This board will support a 13900K and 13700K, though given the board's entry-level VRM setup, it's highly likely the board will throttle and hold back the 13900K/13700K and prevent them from achieving their full performance potential...
@@JohnJohn-pm9wq it should boost just fine, assuming you've got good case airflow and a good CPU cooler. I must caveat that I haven't actually tried this combo myself!
It doesn't come with troubleshooting LEDs on the motherboard, rather, you'll have to check the PC case's power LED for blinking patterns to see what's the issue that's stopping your PC from booting up correctly. This feature is called Q-LED Core, and you can check out more details here: www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1047023/
Nope you can't - this board only supports 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core processors. For an i7-6700, you'll need to get a much older board with the Intel 100/200 series chipsets (e.g. B150, B250, Z270 etc).
An i5-12400+3050 combo will work fine with this board. You can upgrade to an i7 in the future, but do note that the board's VRMs MAY bottleneck an i7's performance (e.g the 13700K, which draws a significant amount of power, where the B760M-A's power delivery solution may struggle as a result).
@@RadicalCaveman the 13700 has a slightly lower max turbo power value than the 13700K. But that said, I would think there MAY be some bottlenecking still - can't say for sure as I've never tested this combo before. I personally would use no more than an i5 processor with this PRIME board, and would likely look at getting a TUF Gaming board instead for a 13700/13700K. My two cents!
@@ALKtech Over here, this Asus B760M is US$25 cheaper than the MSI Pro B660M. So is this Asus the better deal for a i5-12400 + RTX 4070 Ti setup? Or should I pick the MSI for better cooling? I don't need Wifi 6E.
@@R6ex seeing as you're pairing a 12400 with the board, I'd just save the money and get the ASUS. If your intention was to use a more powerful processor (e.g. 12600K, 13600K etc), I would have opted for the MSI instead, as it has a better VRM setup.
@@ALKtech oh thank you Because in my build I have this motherboard One more question because this mobo supports till 5330 mhz ram so can we use ddr5 with same speed?
@@4kpoison784 Unfortunately this board supports DDR4 memory only - DDR5 memory cannot be installed on this board as the memory modules have totally different pinouts. You'll have to make sure that the RAM you purchase are DDR4 5333 sticks and NOT DDR5 if you intend to use the fastest possible memory with this motherboard!
@@ALKtech Bought a White 1070 Asus from Facebook marketplace £70. Reused old corsair ram from old pc 2x8gb 2400mhz. I just finished the build but encountered a problem with the motherboard I don't have access to Lan and the onboard Wi-Fi wasn't picking up any networks. I read I need to download the motherboards Wi-Fi driver and try to update them or something. Do you happen to have any tips?
@@ibruhprofen yeah you do have to download drivers first - always handy to have another PC (e.g. a laptop) to download all necessary motherboard drivers first, and have them on a USB flash drive so that you can install stuff such as the Ethernet driver and WIFI driver without needing to connect your PC to the web. You should head over to the motherboard page here: www.asus.com/sg/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-b760m-a-wifi-d4/helpdesk_knowledge?model2Name=PRIME-B760M-A-WIFI-D4 Download everything that you can see above in that link and install them, and you should be good to go!
@@ALKtech got it to work I had to get passed the internet connection step in the windows setup by pushing “shift + control + f3” so I could access the usb stick and run the driver update 🤣🤣
Yeah absolutely depends on one's use-case. RGB would be totally out of place too for say, an office PC...which this board would probably be well-suited for!
