ROG STRIX B760-I GAMING WIFI compatibility

[tom3f]

Hello, I would like to build new PC as my Pentium G4500 has not enough performance. Since I am Linux only user I need new hardware to be compatible with at least latest distributions. My primary use-case is programming, virtualization, docker and similar. I am not interested in overclocking or gaming.

Does anybody have experience with this motherboard ?

Together with:

• CPU: i5-14500
• Memory: Kingston FURY 32GB KIT DDR5 4800MHz CL38 Beast Black (KF548C38BBK2-32)
• SSD: WD BLACK SN850X NVMe 1 TB

I need at least LAN, SoundCard, USB and USB-C ports, Integrated GPU, M2 ssd to work perfectly with no performance penalty.
Wifi and bluetooth is not needed but it would be nice if it works too. Until now I only found single compatibility report online which was not great but it was more than six months old. I will be using only latest linux so I need compatibility with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 23.04. Can anybody help me figure out if this motherboard will work ?

Thank you.

You might consider just upgrading your CPU to one of the same generation.

With an upgraded CPU, you would be able to reuse your existing motherboard and memory.
For only $50, it might be worth it.

Thanks for tip but i have more reasons to upgrade than just CPU.

Hello so I can happily report that it works just fine with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.



Sound: Works (Tested Line out for headphones)
Wifi: Works (I see low link speed only around 250Mb/s sometime jumps to 750Mb/s, router is capable of 867 Mbit/s)
Bluetooth: Works (tried bluetooth mouse)

Ethernet: Works (tried 1 gigabit)

iGPU: Works great

Overall performance is good, lm-sensors can recognize temperatures
