MSI's B760 MAG Tomahawk Pictured Ahead of Official Launch

Intel is expected to launch the B760 chipset alongside a slew of more 13th gen Core CPUs at CES in January, but already details of upcoming motherboards are starting to appear. We've already seen some details about Gigabyte's B760 Aorus Elite and now some very detailed pictures of MSI's upcoming B760 MAG Tomahawk have made an appearance on VideoCardz. The board is a spitting image of its B660 predecessor in terms of layout, but there appear to be some minor changes in terms of header placement.

MSI has also changed the colour scheme for all black to black with some white highlights. The rear I/O cover appears to have changed marginally, but even the heatsinks appear to be nigh on identical to the previous model. The pictures are of the DDR4 version, but there will apparently be a DDR5 version as well of this SKU from MSI. According to the rumour mill, prices of B760 boards will be up about 10 percent over the current B660 models, but nothing has been confirmed as yet.

The 10% hike could put this board on the plus side of $200 USD which means it's entering the Z790 realm price wise. =/

It depends... if the 10% price hike is due to DDR5 implementation, I'd say it's fair enough, considering that Intel's competitor doubled (and sometimes even more) the price of its mainstream cards quite recently...

Like for like models, not DDR4 vs DDR5.

Generation gap - and unfortunately, I'm on the older side...
But even 20+ years ago I would prefer this classic design. The only colors that a motherboard might need are on the RAM slots to highlight the memory channels. Needless to cite my opinion about RGBs...

Oh, OK... so there will probably be a nice premium for DDR5 to "match" the premium seen on the red side of CPU market. :-/
