Safety information
Electrical safety
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet
before relocating the system.
When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables
for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power
cables are unplugged.
Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices
could interrupt the grounding circuit.
Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not
sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power
company.
If the power supply is broken, do not try to x it by yourself. Contact a qualied service
technician or your retailer.

Before installing the motherboard and adding components, carefully read all the manuals
that came with the package.
Before using the product, ensure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables
are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.
To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors,
slots, sockets and circuitry.
Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area
where it may become wet.
Place the product on a stable surface.
If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualied service
technician or your retailer.
Your motherboard should only be used in environments with ambient temperatures
between 0°C and 40°C.

TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS
Product Introduction
1.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change
any motherboard settings.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded
object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due
to static electricity.
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the
bag that came with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so
may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
The pin denitions in this chapter are for reference only. The pin names depend on the
location of the header/jumper/connector.

push down rmly until the power supply plugs are fully inserted.
Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plug or connect both the 8-pin and 4-pin power plugs.
We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output when conguring a
system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or
may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
If you want to use two high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with 1000W power
or above to ensure the system stability.

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 header allows you to connect a USB 3.2 Gen
1 module for additional USB 3.2 Gen 1ports. The USB 3.2 Gen 1
header provides data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gb/s.
The USB 3.2 Gen 1 module is purchased separately.
10. USB 2.0 headers
The USB 2.0 headers allow you to connect USB modules for
additional USB 2.0 ports. The USB 2.0 headers provide data
transfer speeds of up to 480 Mb/s.
DO NOT connect a 1394 cable to the USB connectors.
Doing so will damage the motherboard!
The USB 2.0 module is purchased separately.
11. Addressable Gen 2 headers
The Addressable Gen 2 headers allow you to connect individually addressable
RGB WS2812B LED strips or WS2812B based LED strips.
The Addressable Gen 2 headers support WS2812B addressable RGB LED strips (5V/Data/
Ground), with a maximum power rating of 3A (5V), and the addressable headers on this
board can handle a combined maximum of 500 LEDs.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply is switched off
or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
If your LED strip does not light up, check if the addressable RGB LED strip is
connected in the correct orientation, and the 5V connector is aligned with the 5V
header on the motherboard.
The addressable RGB LED strip will only light up when the system is powered on.
The addressable RGB LED strip is purchased separately.
12. Aura RGB header
The Aura RGB header allows you to connect RGB LED strips.
The Aura RGB header supports 5050 RGB multi-color LED strips (12V/G/R/B), with a
maximum power rating of 3A (12V), and no longer than 3m.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched
off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
If your LED strip does not light up, check if the RGB LED extension cable and the
RGB LED strip are connected in the correct orientation, and the 12V connector is
aligned with the 12V header on the motherboard.
The LED strip will only light up when the system is powered on.
The LED strip is purchased separately.
13. Clear CMOS header
The Clear CMOS header allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in
the CMOS, which contains the date, time, system passwords, and system setup
parameters.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Short-circuit pin 1-2 with a metal object or jumper cap for about 5-10 seconds.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to
re-enter data.
DO NOT short-circuit the pins except when clearing the RTC RAM. Short-circuiting or
placing a jumper cap will cause system boot failure!
If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard button cell battery and short the two
pins again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the button
cell battery.
14. Front Panel Audio header
The Front Panel Audio header is for a chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O
module that supports HD Audio. Connect one end of the front panel audio I/O
module cable to this header.
We recommend that you connect a high-denition front panel audio
module to this header to avail of the motherboard’s high-denition audio
capability.
15. System Panel header
This header supports several chassis-mounted functions.
System Power LED header (PLED)
The 2-pin and/or 3-1 pin headers allow you to connect the
System Power LED. The System Power LED lights up when
the system is connected to a power source, or when you
turn on the system power, and blinks when the system is in
sleep mode.

Storage Device Activity LED header (HDD_LED)
The 2-pin header allows you to connect the Storage Device Activity LED. The Storage
Device Activity LED lights up or blinks when data is read from or written to the storage
device or storage device add-on card.
System Warning Speaker header (SPEAKER)
The 4-pin header allows you to connect the chassis-mounted system warning speaker.
The speaker allows you to hear system beeps and warnings.
Power Button/Soft-off Button header (PWRSW)
The 2-pin header allows you to connect the system power button. Press the power
button to power up the system, or put the system into sleep or soft-off mode
(depending on the operating system settings).
Reset button header (RESET)
The 2-pin header allows you to connect the chassis-mounted reset button. Press the
reset button to reboot the system.
Chassis intrusion header (CHASSIS)
The 2-pin header allows you to connect the chassis-mounted intrusion detection
sensor or switch. The chassis intrusion sensor or switch sends a high-level signal
to the header when a chassis component is removed or replaced, the signal is then
generated as a chassis intrusion event.
16. Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header
The Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header allows you to connect an add-
on card that supports Intel®’s Thunderbolt™ Technology or USB4®
function.
The add-on card is purchased separately.
Please visit the ofcial website of your purchased add-on
card for more details on compatibility.
The add-on card can only be used when installed to the
PCIEX16(G4) slot. Ensure to install your add-on card to the
PCIEX16(G4) slot.
17. Q-LEDs
The Q-LEDs check key components (CPU, DRAM, VGA, and booting devices) during the
motherboard booting process. If an error is found, the critical component’s LED stays lit up
until the problem is solved.
The Q-LEDs provide the most probable cause of an error code as a starting point for
troubleshooting. The actual cause may vary from case to case.
