Intel LGA 1200 mATX board

The ASUS TUF GAMING B560M-E is an Intel motherboard built on the B560 chipset. It fits the LGA 1200 socket and accepts 10th and 11th generation Core processors. The micro-ATX form factor suits compact builds that still want full feature coverage.

PCIe 4.0 and dual M.2 limits

PCIe 4.0 support depends on installing an 11th generation CPU; with a 10th generation chip the slots run at PCIe 3.0 speeds. The board provides two M.2 sockets and six SATA ports for storage expansion. Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C handle high-speed wired data.

Check CPU generation and power plugs

Verify which Intel Core generation you plan to use because PCIe 4.0 and the highest memory overclocking margin require an 11th generation processor. The board draws auxiliary power through one 8-pin and one 24-pin connector so confirm your power supply includes both. DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 outputs function only with a CPU that integrates graphics.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the B560M-E with two or three M.2 slots?

The board provides three M.2 interfaces so you can install up to three drives without choosing a different version.

What does the 5000 MHz memory overclocking figure mean once the board is built into a PC?

It shows the highest DDR4 frequency the board can reach when you enable XMP or manual tuning, provided your CPU and memory modules also support that speed.

How does the PCIe 4.0 interface cap performance in practice?

PCIe 4.0 doubles the bandwidth of the previous generation, so a compatible graphics card or M.2 drive can transfer data at up to 16 GT/s per lane instead of 8 GT/s.
