LGA 1200 board for 10th and 11th Gen Intel CPUs

The ASRock B560 Steel Legend accepts LGA 1200 processors from both the 10th and 11th generations. Four DDR4 slots support up to 128 GB in dual-channel mode. Memory speeds scale with the installed CPU generation, reaching 4800+(OC) with 11th Gen and 4666+(OC) with 10th Gen parts.

Steel Legend build with 2.5 Gbps LAN

The board uses an ATX layout with reinforced PCIe slots and a full-coverage heatsink design. A Dragon RTL8125BG controller provides 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. One Hyper M.2 socket runs at Gen4x4 when paired with an 11th Gen processor, while a second M.2 socket and six SATA 6Gb/s ports handle additional storage. Rear I/O includes HDMI, DisplayPort 1.4, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports and 7.1-channel audio via Realtek ALC897.

Polychrome SYNC headers and updated BIOS

Two RGB LED headers and two addressable LED headers support Polychrome SYNC lighting control for strips up to 36 W and 15 W respectively. An SPI TPM header and chassis intrusion header are provided for security features. The BIOS ships updated to the latest version for immediate compatibility with supported processors.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation does the M.2 slot support with an 11th Gen CPU, and what bandwidth does that cap at?

With an 11th Gen Intel Core processor the Hyper M.2 socket runs at PCIe 4.0 x4, capping theoretical bandwidth at 64 Gb/s.

What physical space and mounting points does the board need inside a case?

The board uses the ATX form factor with standard ATX mounting holes and an LGA 1200 socket keep-out zone; it also provides three antenna mounting points on the rear I/O panel.

How is the M.2 drive installed, and what step do builders often miss?

Insert the 2260 or 2280 M-key module into the M2_1 slot at an angle, press it flat, and secure it with the supplied screw; the step often missed is confirming the CPU is an 11th Gen model, otherwise the slot runs at PCIe 3.0 speeds.
