ASRock B560M-HDV-A Intel motherboard DDR4 5000MHz (OC)

B560 chipset board for 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core

The ASRock B560M-HDV-A fits the LGA 1200 socket and runs on the Intel B560 chipset. It targets builders pairing 10th or 11th generation Core processors with dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 64 GB capacity. Onboard video outputs include HDMI, DVI-D and D-Sub for systems without a discrete graphics card.

Straightforward ATX install with two memory slots

Mounting follows the standard micro-ATX screw pattern and the 24-pin plus 8-pin power connectors sit in familiar positions. Only two DDR4 DIMM slots are provided, so populating both reaches the 64 GB limit immediately. The single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots leave little room for expansion cards once a double-width GPU is fitted.

Check CPU generation for memory speed and M.2 wiring

Eleventh-generation Core i9, i7 and i5 CPUs support DDR4 up to 5000 MHz OC, while tenth-generation i9 and i7 top out at 4600 MHz OC; other tenth-generation chips stop at 2933 MHz native. The primary M.2 socket runs PCIe 4.0 x4 only with an 11th Gen processor; with 10th Gen it falls back to PCIe 3.0 x4 or SATA3. Verify your cooler clears the 50 A inductors near the CPU socket.
