Kind of silly but I LOVE this idea. Even if it's just to change things up from the same plain mobos we keep seeing. These themed boards should really become a thing.

Asus gets Gundam licensing, Asrock gets Sonic. Regardless of your fandom 13th gen is a beast

So if Intel gets Sonic, will AMD get Knuckles? Maybe an ARM based would be Eggman?

If only these motherboards wouldn't cost so many gold rings. Although this one is priced reasonable. Thank you for reviewing.

@Blue I paid £175. I seen it for £170 but it was out of stock. The Steel Legends board costs about £160. This is cheap for B760. The Asus B760 ROG Strix is £260.

Really loving these SFF product reviews as I am in the market to upgrade my ASRock A300. Currently I am leaning towards a ITX/Micro-ATX build with plenty of 3.5" space, so keep these reviews coming please :D

The Lian Li O11D mini is a nice case. In micro ATX 5 slot mode it has room at the top for a 360mm AIO. Only about £108 for the Snow version or about $130 USD ish. It has room for two 3.5" HDDs and 2 SSDs. Should be plenty considering now if you have the money to spare to buy HDDs in sizes up to 22TB.

The camera feed is looking clearer than usual, good job improving on stuff.

Wasn't this a big thing in the 2000s? Branding your computer hardware with iconic figures.

I like that open-ended x1 slot. I still say x1 is mostly useless, but at least when it’s open at the end you can stuff an HBA card or such in there. It’s not like a bunch of HDDs will saturate that lonely PCIe lane anyway.

That's why I like asrock, that's a gaming motherboard, as long as it stays for gaming is fine, what's made for workstation need to be different chipsets not gaming chipsets. Looks really good,I have a steel legend but that one looks cool and the live mixer too. It doesn't look like a h410 with ordinary looks.

I really like this generation of Asrock boards, recently I bought the B650 LiveMixer version with a R7 7700 😀

I like ASRock motherboards (I'm getting ready to put a build together with their H670M-ITX/ax). I'm not into overclocking, so I looked at that one and the B760 Steel Legend for a possible future build. I think for the much lower price point I'd be inclined to opt for the latter. (I've never really been a Sonic fan anyway. 😆)

It is the exact same board as the one in the video. Just different board design. Slightly cheaper. ASrock boards are pretty good. I been using one in my current PC for the last 10 years or so. No problems with it so far though it is nothing fancy with a Celeron CPU(I was on a very tight budget at the time and that was all I could afford).

i loved this!

Is there any difference in the build quality of this one and the B760m Steel Legend? Specs wise they're looking same to me (Sorry if it's a stupid question lol)

Is the Sonic partnership still limited by exclusively only being for Intel platforms?

Can you even overclock the K processors with a B760 chipset found here?

The B760M Steel Legend is the same board.

I wish it had another PCIe x4+ slot for my 10GbE NIC, or else I'd move to this from the ATX version. Love the eDP connector that the ATX version inexplicably doesn't have...

They added a second nmve drive slot instead. I know there are b760 boards out there that have a x4 slot but only 1 nmve slot off the chipset. Asus B760 ROG Strix is one but it costs way more than this board.

I’ll have to get this for Uncle.

Need that AM5 Eggman

I am such a geek I want that b/c of the Sonic look and logo! LOL

I have ordered this, this has to come with a free copy of Sonic Frontiers right?

Finally a PC board with blast processing.

Good that there's a cool looking, affordable LGA1700 board. Modern PCIe layouts really bother me though. My mATX board has 2 1x and a 16x (better than this board), but it sucks not being able to test x16 devices while I have a GPU installed. I'm this close to taking my dremel to the board to open up the 1x slots but I'd really rather not destroy it for a couple more years.

@daviniarobbins9298

Жыл бұрын

It is a limitation of the chipset sadly. There are only 10 gen 4 PCI-E lanes and 8 of those are being used for the 2 bottom m.2 slots so you are only left with 2 lanes, one of which is the x1 slot. Not sure if the wi-fi module is using the remaining PCI-e lane. After that there is only 4 gen 3 PCI-E lanes so if you plug in a nvme drive gen 3 you are limited to only one gen 3 drive.

Wow, super cool XD

Its actually pretty cheap for the design compared to other boards, i would have expected 100$ or more like they do for post code readouts

I bought this board yesterday for £175. I think with B760 chipset you can't overclock the CPU so unless someone is buying this board because they don't have the money for Z790 and plan to upgrade in the future I would go with a non K CPU and save about £30 to £50. Lets be honest how many people actually overclock their CPU? I have never done it, haven't needed to. Plus the non K CPUs only use 65w(base) to 153w(turbo) so with electric unit rates being so high at the moment it saves you money there too. So with B760 boards one is better off with a non K CPU especially as I don't plan to overclock nor upgrade to Z790 later. This board, I think will be good enough for what I use a PC for which is mostly internet browsing, KZread and streaming(Netflix for example) and light gaming(not much of a gamer, guess I am too old, lol). I plan to put in(eventually) an i7 13700 CPU. Probably overkill though.

Got to go fast!

I hope ASRock makes an AM4 version.

My son would go NUTS over this.

I bought the Gigabyte offering, total mistake, the UEFI is a total mess, even with the latest revision it has internal variable strings for half the options and half the time ignores your changes or places random values.

i really hope if intel makes a H710 asrock makes a sonic edition of it too (so i can actually afford it 😭)

you should do something motherboard related for "mother's day" . get it?

aaah i want it

Does it work with i5 14600kf?

They need an ASRock AM4 version.

It would be rather neat if after more motherboards begin incorporating internal DP flex inside of their motherboards, someone creates a multiplexed / bifurcated NVMe M.2 adapter to _also_ permit internal DP with the capability to install a longer screw for holding it down, so it would be basically a stacked M.2 connection expressly for attaching a display. _An alternative approach_ would be to create a short-length adapter with DP connector on one side which still bifurcates, _but also forces use of a smaller M.2-attached media, created in a way to take advantage of a full-size M.2 slot with an M.2 press-fit socket so that the whole thing can fold down and not interfere with fitment of pre-affixed M.2 twist-lock fasteners, considering Framework is now selling 2TB M.2 modules. Might wanna throw this idea up on the L1 forums now I think about it…

Just got the B760M for $129.99.

ASRock should do a Knuckles edition for AM5

Could you use a 12400f?

Kinda wish they kept the Fatal1ty boards instead

2:50 "So you have a PCI Express 5.0 M.2 for whenever those are generally available." This is incorrect information. From the motherboard manufacturer's official specification, all three M.2 slots on this motherboard are PCIe 4.0. 3:30: "Although you could rock upto a 128 GB on this board if you are okay with a lower DDR5 transfer rate." Again this does not match official specification that lists the maximum capacity as 192 GB.

It would be better to swap them around, I agree. Have the m.2 slots where the x1 slot is. Then you wouldn't have to remove the m.2 heatsink to be able to screw the board to the case in that area.
