Gigabyte B760I Aorus Pro DDR4: Small, powerful, attractively priced

Extra tests, Motherboards | | Ľubomír Samák

In the tests, we looked at a Mini-ITX motherboard. A warning finger is usually put over this format in connection with powerful CPUs, but often unjustifiably. This would be the case even with one of the cheapest models for the LGA 1700 platform – the B760I Aorus Pro DDR4. The “cut off” is mainly things you may not need, for example because a larger number of slots not only won’t be used, but also doesn’t fit into the vision of a space-saving PC build.

Test setup

Note: To be able to compare results with older Z790 motherboard models, the tests are not run with an Intel Raptor Lake Refresh processor, but with the Intel Core i9-13900K (Raptor Lake).
Intel Core i9-13900K CPU

Motherboards with DDR5 support are tested with the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo (2×16 GB, 6000 MHz/CL30) and Z690/B660 motherboards with DDR5 support are tested with the Kingston Fury Beast (2×16 GB, 5200 MHz/CL40)
