Overview

The ASUS PRIME B760M-A D4 is an LGA1700 mATX motherboard supporting Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen CPUs. With the B760 chipset and DDR4 memory support, it offers a cost-effective way to build a modern PC without sacrificing essential features. Sold as an official domestic authorized product on Amazon.co.jp, it provides peace of mind for Japanese buyers.

Key Features

  • LGA1700 Socket: Compatible with Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3 (12th to 14th Gen).
  • DDR4 Memory Support: Two DIMM slots, up to 64GB, overclockable to DDR4-5333.
  • mATX Form Factor: Fits compact cases while retaining decent expansion options.
  • PCIe 4.0 Ready: Primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 for modern graphics cards.
  • Dual M.2 Slots: One PCIe 4.0 x4 and one PCIe 3.0 x4 for fast NVMe SSDs.
  • Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet: Wired networking at 2.5 Gbps for smooth online gaming and file transfers.

Compatibility Guide

  • CPU Socket: LGA1700 only. Supports Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen processors.
  • Memory: DDR4 only. DDR5 is not supported.
  • Form Factor: mATX (244mm x 244mm). Compatible with mATX or larger ATX cases.
  • PCIe Version: Main slot PCIe 4.0 x16; secondary slot PCIe 4.0 x4 (x16 physical).
  • Storage Interfaces: M.2 (PCIe 4.0 x4 + PCIe 3.0 x4), SATA 6Gbps x4.
  • Power Connectors: 24-pin main, 8-pin CPU auxiliary.
  • Recommended PSU: For a mid-range build with a Core i5 and RTX 4060, 650W is sufficient. For higher-end GPUs or CPUs, consider 750W or more.

Ideal Build Scenarios

  • Budget Gaming PC: Pair with a Core i5-14400F and RTX 4060 for great 1080p/1440p gaming at a reasonable cost.
  • Compact Workstation: Use a Core i7-14700K with 32GB DDR4 in a small mATX case for content creation.
  • Upgrade Path: If you already have DDR4 memory and an LGA1700 cooler, this board lets you move to a newer CPU without replacing those parts.

Upgrade Considerations

  • No DDR5 Support: If you plan to move to DDR5 in the future, you will need a new motherboard.
  • No PCIe 5.0: The board lacks PCIe 5.0, but real-world performance impact for current GPUs and SSDs is minimal.
  • Entry-Level VRM: The VRM design is adequate for Core i5 and i7 CPUs. For a Core i9-14900K under sustained heavy load, consider a higher-end board with better cooling.
  • M.2/SATA Sharing: The second M.2 slot may disable certain SATA ports when used in SATA mode. Check the manual for details.
