Intel B560 micro-ATX board for LGA 1200 CPUs
This motherboard uses the Intel B560 chipset on a micro-ATX PCB. It accepts 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core processors plus Pentium Gold and Celeron chips in the LGA 1200 socket. Four DDR4 slots support up to 128 GB of system memory. The compact layout suits smaller cases while keeping core expansion options.
PCIe generation depends on the installed CPU
The single top x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 with an 11th Gen processor and falls back to PCIe 3.0 with a 10th Gen chip. Two additional x1 slots are wired to the chipset at PCIe 3.0 speeds. Six SATA III ports and two M.2 interfaces provide storage connectivity. This split means GPU bandwidth scales with the processor generation you choose.
2.5 Gbps LAN and USB 10 Gbps on the rear I/O
A Realtek 8125B controller delivers 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. The back panel includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports at 10 Gbps plus two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports at 5 Gbps. Internal headers add two more USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. Realtek ALC897 codec handles 7.1-channel audio. The board ships with a Wi-Fi antenna, I/O shield, one SATA cable and a CMOS battery.

Questions about this item
Should I choose a B560 board that supports 5066 MHz DDR4 or one with a lower memory ceiling?
The 5066 MHz rating is the maximum overclocked speed this board can reach with 11th Gen Intel Core processors; 10th Gen CPUs will run memory at lower supported speeds.
What does the 2.5 Gbps LAN figure mean for everyday network use?
The Realtek 8125B controller provides up to 2.5 Gbps wired throughput, so file transfers and gaming traffic can exceed standard 1 Gbps limits when your router and cabling also support 2.5 Gbps.
How does the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot behave with different CPU generations?
With an 11th Gen Intel Core processor the primary x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0; with a 10th Gen processor it falls back to PCIe 3.0, limiting graphics-card and high-speed add-in-card bandwidth accordingly.
