We are used to the fact that most motherboards on the market, whether in ATX, MicroATX or MiniITX, They arrive with the standard power connectors (24 pin and 4 or 8 pin for CPU) located on the front of the board, one on the right and one on the top. In small formats like the ITX there are times when they change position, but always at the front.
That is why the new one is so striking ASUS TUF Gaming B760M BTF WIFI D4, a motherboard micro ATX that integrates the power connectors on the back. Based on the new chipset Intel B760M next to LGA1700 socket With support for 13th generation Intel Raptor Lake processors, this ASUS TUF Gaming B760M BTF also hides 3- and 4-pin connectors for the fans and even SATA on the back.
Other connectors available at the rear are the three-pin ARGB, internal USB connectors, Audio and Thunderbolt, as well as an M.2 slot.
This allows for a very compact motherboard design that makes better use of PCB space by placing connectors on the back. In addition, in compatible boxes it will be possible to take advantage of the rear location of the connectors so that the cables are not visible in the main chamber of the box, leaving a much cleaner assembly with practically no cables.
Additionally, this motherboard has support for four DDR4 memory modules with up to 128 GB, a PCIe 5.0 x16 and WiFi 6 with Bluetooth 5.2.
At the moment we do not know when it will hit the market and what price it will have.
