What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about BIOSTAR B760NH-E

  • Supports latest Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen processors on the LGA1700 socket
  • Compact Mini-ITX form factor ideal for space-saving and small form factor (SFF) builds
  • Features PCIe 5.0 support for future-proofing high-speed GPUs
  • Supports DDR5 memory with overclocking capabilities up to 6400+ MHz
  • Equipped with 2.5GbE LAN for faster wired networking compared to standard 1GbE
  • Includes M.2 PCIe 4.0 support for high-speed NVMe storage
  • User-friendly BIOS with 'EZ Mode' for simple system monitoring and configuration

What customers don't like about BIOSTAR B760NH-E

  • Does not include a pre-installed Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card (must be purchased separately)
  • Limited to only two DIMM slots for RAM, restricting total memory expansion
  • Basic aesthetic design with no integrated RGB lighting
  • The B760 chipset does not support CPU overclocking
  • Only one M.2 socket is provided, limiting internal high-speed storage options
  • Reported issues with booting or resetting if a display is not connected during startup

Verdict

The Biostar B760NH-E is a compact Mini-ITX motherboard featuring the Intel B760 chipset and LGA 1700 socket, providing support for 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors. It is equipped with two DIMM slots supporting up to 96GB of dual-channel DDR5 memory at speeds reaching 6400+(OC) MHz, and it includes a high-speed PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for modern graphics cards. For storage, the board offers one M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot and four SATA III connectors, while networking is handled by a 2.5 GbE LAN controller and a dedicated M.2 Key E slot for optional WiFi 6/6E modules. Main pros include its space-saving form factor, DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 compatibility, and robust audio powered by the Realtek ALC1220-VB codec. However, notable cons include the lack of an integrated WiFi card (module must be purchased separately), a limited number of USB ports, and only two RAM slots due to its small size.
