Review on ASROCK B560M PRO4 Intel Socket 1200 Motherboard for 10th/11th Generation Intel Core Processors by Minoru Yamaguti ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I do not advise buying this, it does not meet the stated standards.

I built a second PC using the same parts as the first one (10400F + ASRock B560M Pro4), but the memory only works on the 3000 profile, not the 3600 profile. I tried another stick of memory from the primary PC, also with xmp 3000, but it did not start up. The idle temperature of this "pro" board is 40 degrees, and that's when you're not even using it for anything intensive like watching YouTube or anything. Three in the front, three in the top, one in the bottom, and one in the back of my ZALMAN N5 MF case ensure optimal airflow. The lack of vrm sensors and a chipset on this board, with the exception of the board's purported temperature, means that tracking data without a pyrometer is impossible. This "pro" motherboard, it seems, will be returned to the store. In fact, before this "pro" board, there was another, just from msa, also "pro," and at least it booted up without a hitch on 3600 MB of memory; however, the chipset heated up to 49 degrees in idle time and the board itself warmed to 40 degrees, so the payment went back to the store, too. As a result of my research, I have concluded that the B560 series as a whole is not worthy of your time or money; there is no reason to put such boards in a computer. Instead, you should consider upgrading to the Z490 motherboards that are available in this region. I almost forgot, try manually setting the memory frequency in the BIOS to 3466, it started up, but it doesn't work on xmp 3600, but for the sake of memory they buy b560 boards, now everything's for sure, maybe a marriage, the memory controller works in the process, I didn't transfer the processor, free diagnostics I don't need it, it's easier to take the motherboard to the store.
