The Box and Packaging
As you’d expect from any micro ATX motherboard, the box and packaging is fairly small and compact. Inside you’ll find the user’s manual, 1 x SATA cable, 3 x M.2 screws, 2 x M.2 screw mounts for the motherboard, and ASRock badge, a pair of velcro straps for cable management, and a pair of WiFi 6e antennas.
The ASRock B760M PG Sonic WiFi Motherboard
The ASRock B760M PG Sonic WiFi comes in micro ATX form factor and features some really cool-looking heatsinks with Sonic the Hedgehog design, and a unique hologram showing the iconic golden ring on the I/O hood.
On the reverse of the board, you’ll find a special eDP connector for ASRock’s internal LCD panel, which you can purchase separately.
The motherboard comes with reinforced DDR5 DIMMS slots which is nice. This unique design allows you to dramatically overclock your DDR5 ram up to 6800MHz (up to DDR5-7200+ OC). Please take note: The DDR5 memory slot is NOT compatible with DDR4 ram.
For expansion, you get 1 x PCIE 5.0 x16 slots with + Surface-Mount Tech, and 1 x PCIE 4.0 x1 slot.
One thing I’ve noticed, is that the PCIE 5.0 x16 slot is located very close to the edge of the I/O, which means there’s not a lot of room after mounting your CPU cooler. This may affect air fow within your chassis.
A Closer Look
To power the board, and to give you that extra stability, you need to connect the 2 x 8-pin PCIE power connectors on the top left-hand corner of the board.
For RGB lovers there’s plenty of RGB headers on the motherboard. You’ll find 2 x 3-pin ARGB (5V) headers located near the top right side of the motherboard, and 1 x 3-pin ARGB (5V) header, as well as1 x 4-pin RGB (12V) near the bottom right side of the board.
For storage, you get a total of 4 x SATA ports, and 3 x Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4x4) slots. And as far connectivity is concerned, you get the Dragon 2.5G LAN, and WiFi 6E + Bluetooth 5.0 via the M.2 Key-E addon module.
The onboard audio is handled by the Realtek 7.1 HD Nahimic audio, which is more than adequate for today’s applications and games.
And finally for USB connectivity, you get 2 x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C (1 Rear, 1 Front), 1 x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A (Rear), 6 x USB 3.2 Gen1 (4 Rear, 2 Front), and 6 x USB 2.0 (2 Rear, 4 Front). All USB ports support ESD Protection.
The rear I/O panel include the DisplayPort, HDMI, connectors for your WiFi 6e antenna, Dragon 2.5G Lan port, 2 x USB 2.0, PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A Port (10 Gb/s), 1 x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C Port (10 Gb/s), 4 x USB 3.2 Gen1 Ports and 3 audio connectors for line-in, speaker out and mic-in.

Your Cinebench R23 multicore score is way to low. A 13600K will get the same result. A 13900K will score around 40000.
May better monitore hwinfo64 while running benchmarks. May xou need to raise the powerlimit as the 125W PL1 is far too low.
Or the board did some clock stretching, you can try to change LLC level or lower vcore (fixed or offset) and check again the benchmarks.
This is a bug too and will lower the benchmark score as well.
Low score, low temperature…
Our benchmarks are based on “Default” BIOS settings to give an idea of how it performs with no tweaks or tuning… we leave that up to the individual user.
