ASUS Launches B760M-AYW PRO WIFI Motherboard, Featuring Enhanced VRMs & Bumped Up IO At Budget Pricing

ASUS has launched the B760M-AYW PRO motherboard, a follow-up to the highly popular OC-aimed design, with decent VRMs & IO support.

The "AYW" series had recently been expanded by ASUS to support Intel's newer 700-series chipsets such as Z790 & B760, and it looks like the manufacturer is still looking to elevate the lineup by offering an enhanced "PRO" variant. The motherboard has surfaced online on ASUS's website, giving us a clear idea of the onboard specifications and features, and by the looks of it, the new PRO model doesn't feature many changes from the original one, apart from a few modifications within the VRM design and USB connectivity.

Starting with the specifications, ASUS's B760M-AYW PRO WIFI motherboard features support for the LGA 1700 socket, being compatible with Intel's 14th Gen, 13th Gen, & 12th Gen CPUs. In terms of memory, the motherboard is equipped with two DIMM slots supporting DDR5-8000+ MT/s memory, allowing capacities up to 96 GB. For PCIe interfaces, the B760M-AYW PRO WIFI offers one PCIe 4.0 x 16 & one PCIe 4.0 x 1 slot, which is justified given the mATX form factor the motherboard comes with.

For storage, the motherboard offers 2x PCIe 4.0 x 4 M.2 slots and 2 x SATA 6Gb/s ports, which is half of what the original model comes with. The motherboard also offers decent network connectivity options, offering 1x Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet port and a Wi-Fi 6 network card that is also accompanied by support for Bluetooth 5.3 connections. Here's how the rear and front I/O panels are broken down, and interestingly, the PRO variant offers a USB Type-C interface as well:

Rear USB (Total 8 ports)

Front USB (Total 5 ports)

ASUS hasn't revealed the pricing of their B760M-AYW PRO WIFI motherboard yet, but given that it is an enthusiast option to an extent, you can expect it to go for around $200-$250.
