MSI PRO B760-P WIFI Gaming Desktop Motherboard - Intel B760 Chipset - Socket LGA-1700 - ATX
The MSI PRO B760-P WIFI is a purpose-built motherboard designed to empower modern gaming rigs and productive workstations alike. Built on the Intel B760 chipset and leveraging the LGA-1700 socket, this ATX board delivers a balanced mix of performance, connectivity, and reliability. It’s engineered to handle DDR5 memory for high bandwidth and improved efficiency, while offering a convenient built-in Wi‑Fi solution to keep you connected without extra adapters. The design emphasizes thermals and stability, featuring an Extended Heatsink that enlarges the cooling surface and a Heavy Plated VRM Heatsink to protect the upper MOSFETs under heavy loads. Whether you’re building a high-refresh-gaming PC, a creator workstation, or a versatile family machine, this motherboard is crafted to keep pace as software and games evolve.
- Flexible tools and integrated Wi‑Fi for a streamlined build: Designed with a broad toolkit approach and a convenient wireless solution, the PRO B760-P WIFI reduces cable clutter and delivers reliable network performance out of the box. This motherboard is ready to support online gaming, streaming, and content creation without requiring an extra PCIe wireless card, which simplifies setup and improves overall system aesthetics.
- DDR5 memory support for higher bandwidth and efficiency: The board is designed to work with DDR5 memory modules, enabling faster data transfer, reduced latency, and improved energy efficiency compared with older generations. With DDR5, you can unlock newer performance profiles for gaming, multitasking, and memory-intensive workloads, while maintaining compatibility with current-gen CPUs on the LGA-1700 platform.
- Extended Heatsink for superior thermal performance: An Extended Heatsink design increases the surface area available for heat dissipation, helping maintain consistent performance during extended gaming sessions or heavy multitasking. By spreading heat more effectively across the board, it helps preserve CPU and chipset stability during sustained workloads.
- Heavy Plated VRM Heatsink for durable power delivery: The Heavy Plated VRM Heatsink covers the upper MOSFET region, delivering robust cooling where it matters most for power delivery and voltage regulation. This cooling solution supports reliable operation when pushing the system with demanding games, overclocking, or long render sessions, reducing thermal throttling and ensuring steadier behavior under load.
- ATX form factor with LGA 1700 socket for 12th/13th Gen Intel CPUs: The PRO B760-P WIFI fits standard ATX cases and uses the LGA 1700 socket, enabling compatibility with 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors. This pairing provides a solid foundation for balanced performance across gaming, productivity, and multimedia tasks while leaving room for future upgrades in memory, storage, and expansion cards.

how to install MSI PRO B760-P WIFI
- Prepare your workspace and safety precautions. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge and lay out all components: the motherboard, CPU, RAM, cooler, power supply, storage, and peripheral cables. Verify you have a compatible case with the correct standoff pattern for an ATX board.
- Install the I/O shield into the case first, ensuring it is firmly seated. Then align the motherboard with the case standoffs, matching the screw holes to the case’s mounting points. Secure the board with the appropriate screws, but avoid overtightening.
- Install the CPU into the LGA 1700 socket. Raise the socket lever, align the CPU’s notches with the socket keying, and gently place the processor into position. Lower the lever to lock it in place.
- Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the CPU (if your cooler requires it) and mount the CPU cooler according to the cooler’s instructions. Attach the cooler’s mounting hardware securely and connect the fan/header to the appropriate CPU fan header on the motherboard.
- Insert DDR5 memory modules into the correct RAM slots as indicated by the motherboard manual (often the first and third slots for dual-channel configurations). Ensure the modules click into place with a solid hold on both ends of each module.
- Mount storage devices (M.2, SATA SSDs/HDDs) in their respective slots and connect required data and power cables. If you’re using an M.2 drive, insert it at a slight angle and press down gently to secure with the mounting screw.
- Connect power supply cables to the motherboard (main 24-pin, and 8-pin CPU power connector). Attach any case front-panel cables (power button, reset, USB, audio) following the motherboard’s front-panel header diagram.
- Power on to enter the BIOS. Update the BIOS if a newer version is available and configure boot order, memory XMP/DOCP profiles, fan curves, and RAID if desired. Install operating system and drivers, including chipset, Wi‑Fi, audio, and any management software from MSI.
- Install any additional expansion cards or NVMe drives if you have them. Recheck all connections, tidy cables for airflow, and perform a final power-on self-test to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
