Do you fancy a white-themed Mini-ITX Intel build? This MSI could be what you’re looking for.
It used to be the case that Intel’s B-series motherboards were very basic indeed. Going back a few generations, they couldn’t even overclock memory. But, they’ve come a long way, and these days they’re generally perfectly viable options, even with a high-end K-series processor. Well, many of them anyway. cheap is still cheap.
The MSI B760I Edge WiFi is positioned as an affordable board with a decent mainstream feature set. It’s a Mini-ITX motherboard, so it should be a good option for those looking to put some more money towards a better graphics card or CPU for a compact, yet highly capable small form factor system.
At $205 / £199 / AU$349 the B760I Edge WiFi is not an overly pricey option, though the competition is tough in this price range, with Mini-ITX options from ASRock, Gigabyte, and Asus all priced similarly. Being a Mini-ITX board, you’ll have to contend with a sacrifice or two compared to ATX options, but that’s par for the course.
I’d say the B760I Edge is an attractive board. It’s similar in look to its AMD-toting MPG B650I Edge sibling, though thankfully it lacks that board’s chipset fan. Its silver-on-black theme would look good with the right matching components—if you can see it at all in a tiny case, that is. It lacks onboard RGB too, though it does have RGB and ARGB headers. I can imagine it looking great in a white case.
At this price, MSI quite expectedly didn’t go all out when it comes to a mega VRM and ultra-fast memory support.
