Built for Gaming
The B560M-PLUS is designed to take advantage of gaming-focused hardware, giving you the power and utility essential for high-quality experiences. The 6-layer printed circuit board is equipped with high- and low-side MOSFETs, 8+1 DrMOS, Digi+ VRM, TUF Chokes, TUF Capacitors, and ProCool connectors to manage electrical stability and efficiency.

Thermal Design
A large VRM heatsink and dual thermal pads keep your onboard components cool during intense gaming sessions. The high mass heatsink covers the VRM and choke to improve heat dissipation while thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array. These systems work cohesively to keep your power management components and M.2 storage drives safe from damage caused by heat build-up. Additionally, comprehensive fan controls are built right into the B560M-PLUS, allowing you to equip your rig with fan- or liquid-cooling thermal systems which can be adjusted within the Fan Xpert 2+ program or UEFI BIOS settings.

PCIe 4.0 Performance
By harnessing the power of Intel Core 11th Gen processors, you can unlock enhanced speeds for your memory, storage, and expansion slots. M.2 NVMe SSD RAID support gives you the ability to adjust the operation of your storage drives. OptiMem II carefully maps memory signal pathways and reduces crosstalk, allowing you to overclock your memory with ease. Experience faster performance of your graphics and utility cards with PCIe 4.0 expansion slots for increased system performance.

Connectivity
Equipped with extensive connectivity options, the B560M-PLUS includes USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports designed for peripherals that provide transfer speeds up to 5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s respectively. An internal Thunderbolt 4 header gives you access to speeds up to 40 Gb/s on a single cable as well as daisy-chain functionality and multi-screen support up to 8K resolution. Along with the various wired connections, you can connect wireless peripherals with Bluetooth 5.0 for a true cable-free experience.

Online Performance
Developed with Intel's Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) module, you can experience 2.4 Gb/s bandwidth, essential for online competitive gaming. If you prefer a wired connection, the onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet port boosts wired connections for speedy file transfers, lag-free gaming, and high-res video streaming.

DIY Design
Whether you are a seasoned builder or brand new, the B560M-PLUS is easy to configure and provides additional safety measures. SafeSlot Core+ enhances PCIe slots with fortifying metal for stronger retention and shearing resistance. ESD guards prevent damage caused from electrostatic discharge, while DRAM overvoltage protection and TUF LANGuard provide system stability through resettable fuses and signal-coupling technology. The stainless-steel back I/O panel resists corrosion, prolonging the lifespan up to three-times longer than traditional motherboards. Additionally, the innovative Q-Latch makes installing and removing M.2 storage drives easy with a simple locking mechanism that doesn't require specific tools.

Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation
Designed to reduce background noise from the microphone as well as the incoming audio, two-way AI noise cancelation gives you clear audio free from keyboard clicks and other ambient noises while having minimal impact on system performance.

Gaming Audio
The B560M-PLUS gives you high-quality audio that immerses you into your virtual landscape. The exclusive Realtek codec, TUF Gaming audio cover, and audio shielding separates analog and digital signal domains, reducing multi-lateral interference and maintaining audio integrity. This also reduces signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring your audio experience is clear. DTS Custom utilizes advanced emulation techniques to create immersive spatial audio complete with three presets designed for various gaming scenarios.
