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.

The MSI MPG B760I EDGE WIFI DDR4 is a Mini-ITX motherboard designed for 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors on the LGA 1700 socket, featuring a robust 8+1+1 direct power phase design with 90A DrMOS to support high-end CPUs. It includes two DDR4 memory slots supporting overclocked speeds up to 5333+ MHz, a PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slot, and dual M.2 Gen4 x4 slots for high-speed storage. Main advantages include its high-performance networking with Intel Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5G LAN, and Bluetooth 5.3, alongside an effective thermal solution featuring an extended heatsink and M.2 Shield Frozr. However, notable drawbacks include the use of the older Realtek ALC897 audio codec, the lack of a 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, and vertically mounted SATA ports that may complicate cable management in extremely tight cases.
