Socket and form factor

This motherboard uses the Intel LGA 1200 socket and the B560 chipset on a Micro ATX board. It supports 10th and 11th generation Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 processors. The layout fits smaller cases while keeping a full-size PCIe 4.0 x16 slot.

Who should consider this board

Builders upgrading an existing LGA 1200 system or assembling a compact desktop will find the socket and chipset match their CPU. The single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and two M.2 sockets cover a graphics card and fast storage. Anyone needing more than one full-size expansion slot or a different CPU socket should look elsewhere.

The deciding specification

The LGA 1200 socket combined with the Intel B560 chipset determines whether this board fits your processor. If your CPU requires a different socket or chipset, this motherboard will not work.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the B560M AORUS PRO AX is functioning correctly after installation?

Power on the system and verify the BIOS splash screen appears; the I/O shield should show the DisplayPort and USB 3.1 ports active, and the single PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot should detect any installed graphics card.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

Only the motherboard and the I/O shield are included; SATA cables, Wi-Fi antennas, M.2 screws, driver media and a user manual are not supplied and must be sourced independently.

Which B560M AORUS PRO AX version should I choose for my build?

The board is offered as a single Micro-ATX LGA 1200 model with two M.2 slots and one PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot, so select this version when you need that exact feature set.
