MSI B760M Gaming Plus WiFi: A cheap motherboard with a surprise

3D rendering: Cinebench, Blender, ...

The seemingly inconspicuous motherboard hides something you probably wouldn’t expect, it has both HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs doubled, in pairs. Otherwise, the B760M Gaming WiFi is an affordable solution also suitable for higher-end Intel Core processors designed for the LGA 1700 platform with DDR5 memory. Meanwhile, due to the smaller MicroATX format, you can also fit the motherboard into smaller cases.

Upozornenie: On the LGA 1700 platform, in the reduced power mode (IPL) to the long-term 125 W level, we observe lower computing performance than it was with older BIOSes since December last year. The power consumption is indeed as expected, but that’s with inefficient clock speed management. Within it, the E cores get more space (manifested by their higher clock speeds) than the P cores, for which there is not much left. This typically results in very low clock speeds (of the P cores of the test CPU model).

Test environment: We use well distributed projects BMW (510 tiles) and Classroom (2040 tiles) and the renderer Cycles. Render settings are set to None, with which all the work falls on the CPU.

CAMM2 memory modules for desktop are closer than it seemed

While we focused on the new processor architectures most, Computex 2024 featured all sorts of things. One of these is worth revisiting. We’ve written several times recently about the hypothetical possibility of desktop motherboards switching to CAMM2 memory modules instead of the DIMMs that have been standard for almost thirty years. It seems that this is much closer to reality than it seemed, CAMM2 is indeed coming to desktop. Read more “CAMM2 memory modules for desktop are closer than it seemed” »

Tell us “which one it is” and win the MSI B760M Gaming Plus WiFi

There is a motherboard for the Intel LGA 1700 platform that is left over from our tests, and you can compete for it. The format (of the competition) will be quite unconventional, but we believe, attractive. The correct solution, consisting of two elements, must be completed with a quick response at the end. The latter is crucial for winning the MSI B760M Gaming Plus WiFi. The first one to successfully respond is the winner. Read more “Tell us “which one it is” and win the MSI B760M Gaming Plus WiFi” »

“Two fans in one”. MSI plans an unconventional concept

Higher pressure from the location around the impeller hub. This will probably be addressed by more fan manufacturers in the coming period. Each will go about it in a slightly different way, and MSI also revealed its “strategy” for achieving more attractive results at Computex (24). With fans with one, two, three, … eighteen blades arranged in two rows. It will start to be sold in PC cases. Read more ““Two fans in one”. MSI plans an unconventional concept” »
