The purchase brought only positive emotions.

It leaves a good first impression overall, especially given that this is the most affordable B560 offer with cooling for the power circuits and even, Heaven help me, backlighting that shimmers in all hues (which can be disabled in the BIOS). It's true that the driver disk will already be laughable in 2022.

Pros

A good mother. The operatives are carefully overclocked up to the resistances. When operating at full load, PL1 increases to 125 watts, which is sufficient to operate at 11400, preventing it from dipping below 4 GHz. There are vrm coolers available that aren't even attractive but keep the board from boiling. Instead of the customary two turntables for mATX, you can attach three.

Cons

Both while Windows is installing it and when it comes out of the box, the network card driver does not work. Any offline driverpack can fix it (I used the Chinese DrvCeo, it is small enough to easily fit on a USB flash drive). The back cover is unattractive and on par with most cheap boards. The 24-pin connector was oddly fastened; when I changed the RAM, it lost contact, and the machine wouldn't start until I reconnected the connectors. The board bends rather easily, thus this might be the case, or the plug might not have been tightly seated (from the previous mother from the asus, the plug could only be pulled out after prayer) P.S. The lack of Type-C impacts after two months. Sad to say, if you have a modern gadget with a similar interface, you'll need to create an extension board or adapter.
