ASRock B760M PG Riptide WiFi Performance Review
The ASRock B760M PG Riptide WiFi includes a mid-range VRM setup, delivering 60 A through 14 phases. It supports most compatible CPUs on its socket but is not ideal for sustained overclocking or powering very high-wattage CPUs due to potential thermal limitations. Best suited for casual users and mainstream gamers seeking stable performance for everyday use.
This motherboard includes an entry-level audio chipset — Realtek ALC897 — which provides basic sound quality suitable for casual use. While it’s acceptable for everyday tasks such as web browsing, video playback, and light gaming, it may not meet the expectations of users with mid to high-end audio setups. Audiophiles and those seeking high-fidelity sound should consider using a dedicated sound card or external DAC.
In terms of value, it achieves 66.4% efficiency relative to the best-performing motherboard in its category, making it an excellent choice for users seeking a cost-effective solution.
