Biostar's B760A Silver Motherboard Leaks

[TheLostSwede]

It would appear that motherboards based on the upcoming Intel B760 chipset aren't much of a secret, as even online price comparison sites are now starting to post details about the upcoming models. German Geizhals has posted details about Biostars B760A Silver motherboard and although the site doesn't have pictures of the board, it does provide a drawing from what appears to be the manual. As this is an entry level model, there isn't too much to get excited about, but it appears to be a decent enough board overall.

The B760A Silver sports four DDR5 DIMM slots, a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, as well as three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs and an M.2 for an optional Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card. Other features include an HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.2 port around the back, as well as 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and a 10 Gbps USB-C port. The board has a front header for another 10 Gbps USB-C port, but there's no support for a 20 Gbps USB-C port. Biostar has at least not been stingy with fan headers, as a total of six are spread out around the board and for those that like RGB lights, there are also three ARGB headers. Geizhals isn't listing any retailers stocking the board as yet, so we don't get any indication on the cost of the board.

Pretty weird placement for the CPU socket.

Exactly, looks like installing/removing RAM will require removing the cooler if you go with a tower cooler.

I don't understand how a motherboard can "leak" we know it is coming out and they look the same every gen. It would be like someone leaking the new 2023 Silverado. They have made one every year for 50 years, and they pretty much look the same every year.

you are not supposed to see this diagram where it should be shown only in the manual.
when the product page is not yet up due to nda, you should not be able to download the manual.

You guys have no idea what you're talking about.

Go look at other b660/760 motherboards, with actual pictures, and you will see the CPU socket is in the same place and has been. The release latch usually lines up with the end of the pcie slot.

I stand corrected, looks just weird that the socket is placed so right on the PCB.

It's because of the lack of VRM heatsinks that's throwing us off. I thought it was weird too.
