LGA 1200 B560 platform

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel B560 chipset and the LGA 1200 socket. It supports 11th and 10th Gen Intel Core processors as well as selected Pentium and Celeron models. The board targets builders who need a full-size layout for a mainstream desktop system.

DDR4 5333 OC memory ceiling

Four 288-pin slots accept dual-channel DDR4 up to 128 GB. With an 11th Gen Core i9, i7 or i5 the board validates speeds from 2133 up to 5333 when overclocked. 10th Gen CPUs top out at 2933 for i9 and i7 or 2666 for i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron parts.

Chipset VRM heatsink cooling

The power delivery uses a heatsink on the VRM area to handle typical desktop loads without active fans. A single 1 Gbps Realtek LAN port and Realtek 7.1 channel audio add minimal heat. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports and two M.2 slots draw little power under normal operation.

Questions about this item

What does the 5333(OC) DDR4 rating mean once the board is in a working PC?

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

How does the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and the CPU-linked M.2 connector limit expansion choices?

The top x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 only with an 11th Gen CPU; with a 10th Gen CPU it drops to 3.0. The CPU-attached M.2 socket supports PCIe 4.0 x4 or x2 SSDs (2260, 2280, 22110) when an 11th Gen processor is installed.

What physical space and mounting does the ATX B560 HD3 need in a case?

The board follows the standard ATX form factor, so it requires a case with ATX motherboard mounting holes and an I/O shield cut-out; it has four 288-pin DDR4 slots, one PCIe 4.0 x16, one PCIe 3.0 x16 (x4 electrical), two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, six SATA 6Gb/s ports and two M.2 sockets (2260/2280/22110).
