Intel B560 chipset for LGA 1200

The MSI MAG B560 TORPEDO is an Intel B560 motherboard built for LGA 1200 processors. It supports 10th and 11th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. The board uses a Micro ATX form factor and carries the MAG TORPEDO branding. It targets builders who need a mainstream platform for current-generation Intel desktop chips.

Dual-channel DDR4 up to 128 GB

Four memory slots accept dual-channel DDR4 with a rated overclock ceiling of 5066 MHz. The maximum supported capacity is 128 GB, giving ample headroom for heavy multitasking and content workloads. Memory speed scales with the installed processor generation and module quality. Beyond 128 GB the chipset cannot address additional DRAM.

PCIe 4.0 from CPU and 2.5 Gbps LAN

With an 11th Gen CPU the primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0; with a 10th Gen CPU it falls back to PCIe 3.0. The second x16 slot and the x1 slot are wired to the B560 chipset at PCIe 3.0 x4 and x1 respectively. Networking combines a Realtek 2.5 Gbps controller and an Intel 1 Gbps controller. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 reaches 20 Gbps on the rear Type-C port.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4 memory kits work with the B560 chipset on this board?

The board runs dual-channel DDR4 up to 5066 MHz when overclocked and supports a total of 128 GB, so any standard DDR4 modules within that range are compatible.

How can I confirm the 2.5 Gbps LAN controller is active after assembly?

Open Device Manager or your OS network settings and verify the Realtek RTL8125B adapter shows a 2.5 Gbps link speed when connected to a matching switch or router.

Which accessories are included and what must I source separately?

The package supplies the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the I/O shield; CPU cooler mounting hardware, additional SATA cables, M.2 screws and any Wi-Fi antenna are not included.
