Great price, good VRMs

Good for use with 11400 and 11700. B560M does not overclock, so don't waste your money on K- Class 11th generation. The motherboard automatically turns on MCE and allows the processors to use all the power they need to fully run 4.2 on all cores / 4.4 on a single core for the 11400 I installed to upgrade from the 9100f. The stock cooler can't handle it, so I switched to a 280mm AIO, which keeps it under 60 even under the heaviest loads. The CPU consumes about 110W at full tilt while running CB23 and 56c in a 5 minute CB23 cycle. Works great with the B-Die 3200 XMP profile. Brett brings to the table .5/5

Pros
