ASUS B560M-A AC Overview

Leverage the power of Intel 11th gen processors with the PRIME B560M-A AC LGA 1200 Micro-ATX Motherboard from ASUS. Designed to enhance system performance whether you are looking to play games or streamline work productivity, the B560M-A gives you ample power to complete important tasks efficiently.

Laying the foundation is the Intel B560 chipset, giving you access to an Intel LGA 1200 socket, four DDR4 RAM slots, six SATA III ports, and two M.2 storage interfaces. Equip your system with an array of graphics and utility cards using the onboard PCIe 4.0 x16, PCIe 3.0 x16, and PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. USB 2.0 ports allow you to connect a wide range of peripherals from keyboards to mice, while USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports give you enhanced connectivity speeds suitable for resource-demanding devices such as interfaces and external storage drives. Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows you to use wireless peripherals such as headphones and controllers. Two HDMI and one DisplayPort video outputs are available for systems relying on integrated graphics. Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) capabilities allow you to easily connect to your home or business' wireless network while an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port offers a hard-wired connection suitable for work or play.

Fine Tuning
With intelligent control options, you can fine-tune your experience in performance and power. Digi+ VRM control delivers real-time control over voltage droop. Fan Xpert 2+ allows you to adjust system fan performance or use auto-tune mode to configure all parameters with a single click. An Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically optimizes power consumption, maximizing savings with Away Mode. The Integrated UEFI BIOS allows you to use EZ and Advanced modes to adjust performance parameters so you can squeeze more power out of your components without going overboard.
Enhanced Thermal Systems
Multiple temperature sources are spread out through the B560M-A, allowing you to monitor thermal build-up within your system and adjust fan performance accordingly. An onboard chassis fan header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans. VRM and M.2 heatsinks provide an additional layer of thermal management, keeping your storage and system cool under heavy workloads.
ASUS OptiMem
Designed to improve memory stability with lower latency, ASUS OptiMem technology adjusts the motherboard's trace routing, giving the CPU unrestricted access to memory bandwidth.
Storage
Embrace the speed of NVMe storage with dual M.2 interfaces, allowing you to experience enhanced system performance and reduced load times for your most used applications. One slot offers data transfer speeds up to 64 Mb/s with PCIe 4.0 technology when paired with an 11th Gen Intel Processor.
Audio
Experience immersive sound with audio shielding that reduces multi-lateral signal interference from analog and digital signal domains. Separate layers are made available for left and right audio channels to prevent crosstalk between paths. Premium Japanese capacitors lend themselves to the high-fidelity audio quality.
Armoury Crate
The free ASUS Armoury Crate software utility provides a centralized control area that saves various settings for ASUS branded products including mice, keyboards, and more. This allows you to ensure drivers are up-to-date and keep you in touch with the ASUS community.
DIY-Friendly
Whether you are a seasoned builder or new, the B560M-A AC includes a wide range of enhancements designed to ease you into organizing your parts. SafeSlot Core+ PCIe slot uses a fortified design that reinforces the slot to ensure stronger retention and greater shearing resistance when compared to standard expansion slots. Overvoltage and DRAM overcurrent protections prevent high-level currents from damaging connected devices. Stainless-steel back I/O panels are bonded with chromium oxide to prolong the lifespan of your ports. Q-LED system tells you when your CPU, DRAM, GPU, and storage are functioning as normal, making troubleshooting your system simple and easy.
