ASRock launches custom Sonic-inspired B760 motherboards: Pricing, availability, where to buy, and more

ASRock launched its lineup of B760 motherboards at the Consumer Electronics Show 2023 (CES 2023). Alongside its usual boards, the company also introduced a special Sonic edition micro-ATX board, the second iteration in the series, after the Z790 equivalent with the same moniker.

The board will be offered alongside other B760 boards starting later this month. It shares a similar spec list to its Steel Legend WiFi board, with some differentiating features.

It is worth noting that most of the B760 motherboards from ASRock are based on the m-ATX form factor. The company did not launch an ATX version of its revered Steel Legend series.

The only variant offered in the larger form factor is its Pro RS series, geared towards creators, professionals, and office PCs.

Overall, the B760M PG Sonic is flushed with a 6-layer PCB for excellent stability and performance. The board comes with a 14-phase DrMOS VRM, divided into 12+1+1 to regulate the voltage supplied to the CPU, the iGPU, and other components.
