GIGABYTE AORUS B560M ELITE LGA 1200 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

SKU CH-6GAY-J0XTY

A Micro ATX Intel B560 board for LGA 1200 CPUs supporting 10th and 11th Gen Core, Pentium and Celeron processors with DDR4 memory speeds up to 5333 MHz overclocked

  • Supports 11th and 10th Gen Intel Core processors on LGA 1200 socket
  • DDR4 memory speeds up to 5333 MHz overclocked with 11th Gen Core i9, i7, i5 CPUs
  • Micro ATX form factor fits compact builds using Intel B560 chipset
  • Compatible with Intel Pentium and Celeron processors with 4 MB Smart Cache
  • DDR4 support scales down to 2133 MHz for broad memory compatibility

Micro ATX Intel B560 board for 10th

This micro ATX motherboard uses the Intel B560 chipset and an LGA 1200 socket. It supports 11th and 10th Generation Intel Core processors, plus Pentium and Celeron models that have 4 MB Intel Smart Cache. The compact form factor suits smaller cases while keeping the chipset features of the B560 platform.

Memory speeds are locked to the installed

With an 11th Gen Core i9, i7 or i5 the board runs DDR4 at up to 5333 MT/s overclocked, with a long list of intermediate steps down to 2133 MT/s. A 10th Gen Core i9 or i7 tops out at 2933 MT/s, while 10th Gen Core i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors stop at 2666 MT/s. The CPU you choose therefore sets the practical memory ceiling.

CPU generation decides the maximum DDR4 frequency

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the processor generation you plan to install. Only 11th Gen Core i9, i7 and i5 chips unlock the full overclocked DDR4 range up to 5333 MT/s; 10th Gen chips restrict the board to 2933 MT/s or 2666 MT/s depending on the model. Match the CPU to the memory speed you need.

Questions about this item

Which DDR4 speed should I pick for an 11th Gen Core i5?

With an 11th Gen Core i5 the board supports DDR4 up to 5333 (OC) and every listed step down to 2133; choose a kit rated for the highest speed your budget allows and enable XMP in the BIOS.

What does the DDR4 5333 (OC) figure mean once the board is built?

It is the maximum overclocked memory frequency the board can reach with an 11th Gen Core i9, i7 or i5; actual speed depends on the memory kit, CPU memory controller and BIOS settings.

What memory standard does the B560 chipset use and what does it cap in practice?

The board uses DDR4 only; with 11th Gen Core i9/i7/i5 it caps at 5333 (OC), with 10th Gen Core i9/i7 at 2933, and with 10th Gen Core i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron at 2666.
