A rare mATX motherboard

If you prefer mATX to mini-ITX then head over to The FPS Review for a look at the ASRock B760M STEEL LEGEND WiFi. As far as B760 motherboards go, it’s in the middle of the pack at ~$150. There are less expensive boards, but not in this format, nor with as many features as the B760M STEEL LEGEND WiFi offers. These features include the usual support such as DDR5 and PCI-Express Gen 5.0 support, but you also get 2.5GbE wired networking, WiFi 6E support, Realtek ALC 897 7.1 HD audio and a 12+1+1 phase VRM implementation which is likely 6 + 1 phase.

The board has an impressive array of storage, three M.2 slots of which the top slot connects to the PCIe CPU, while the others depend on the chipset. You can also add up to four SATA devices in any RAID configuration you want. The back plate has one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, with another available to plug into your case. There are a variety of other USB connections available, as well as DisplayPort and HDMI, as well as a PS/2 combo port. FPS Review’s main complaint was with the old audio codec, not the board’s performance. There are also some layout options that you may want to check before purchasing.
