MAXSUN has introduced the MS-Terminator B760 BKB D5 WiFi motherboard, which features a unique design with its PCIe 5.0 x16 slot positioned at the back of the board. Unlike typical motherboards where the GPU is installed on a front-facing PCIe x16 slot, this model allows for vertical installation of the GPU, facing sideways.
This innovative setup offers several benefits:
– It reduces horizontal space taken up by the GPU, making it suitable for low-profile cases that lack adequate clearance.
– In PC cases like the MasterBox iF15, the GPU can be installed at the back without cluttering the motherboard area.
– The result is a more compact and cleaner look.
The design focuses on minimizing the visibility of the GPU. While this might seem unconventional given that the GPU is often considered the most attractive component in a PC case, it can be advantageous for users who prefer a tidier appearance, especially in cases with limited front space.
Additionally, the motherboard includes an extra PCIe x4 slot at the front and all necessary connectors and ports also accessible from the front. It supports Intel’s 12th, 13th, and 14th-gen processors via the B760 chipset. Storage options include two M.2 slots and four SATA ports.
For connectivity, it offers multiple USB ports (mostly USB 2.0) and built-in WiFi 6E for wireless internet access.
MAXSUN has not disclosed pricing or availability details but allows interested buyers to request pricing information directly through the website.
This unique design addresses space constraints in certain PC cases while maintaining a traditional layout otherwise, making it an interesting option for enthusiasts looking for alternative GPU installation methods.
