Powered by 11th gen with no power limitation

I paired it with the 11400F which is somewhat redundant but it was the only NH-U14 compatible B560 board that any 11th gen could operate without power limitation. Enabled XMP with no problems and no crashes. If you buy it, update the BIOS to the latest version (0820) to get access to the latest features (intelligent load line calibration).

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

A bit pricey for an i5 but overall a very good motherboard

This is pretty much a Z motherboard without the ability to overlock the Z560 chipset. Other than that, the motherboard is pretty good: good VRMs, great build quality, lots of I/Os (like the USB-C port on the front, which its B550 siblings inexplicably lacks), Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1 and 2.5 G.Ethernet. The only thing I don't like about this motherboard is that Alder Lake will use a different socket because I want to keep it and upgrade the processor in the future.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • No instructions

Probably better than budget z series boards

Totally worth it at 175 US retail prices. I was looking to get an ASUS TUF B560M, but back then it was only $10 more and had an extra case fan header (2 vs 3), more I/O options, a better sound processor and nicer aesthetics (imo) . The set also includes a bundle of candy. I currently have 11500 and 16GB of RAM at 3600MHz and am definitely happy with it. I would choose this over a budget Z series mobile device.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Little things

Excellent motherboard. Best in Internals

This motherboard has everything a motherboard can have. I need to buy an 11th Gen Intel processor to take advantage of the pcie 4.0, hdmi 4k, dp 2.1 and m.2 nvme slots. I upgraded from i7 3770 to i7 10700k but I need the 11th gen. I have 2 NVME 1TB 4.0 SSDs. I have a 43 inch 4k monitor that I connected to the motherboard HDMI port and I always go to the BIOS screen. I fixed the problem by connecting to my NVIDIA graphics card. Possibly because the 10th gen processor doesn't support 4k on the…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Zero

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

Merciless design, very pleased with this board, I have been using devices and components from asus for a long time, they hold the bar!

Pros
  • Design!
Cons
  • No, only the price, it was possible to sell such a fee for 15k.

Powered by 11th generation with no power limit

but it was the only B560- Board that was compatible with NH- U14, which could work with any 11th generation processor without performance limitation. Enabled XMP with no problems and no crashes. If you buy it, update the BIOS to the latest version (0820) to get access to the latest features (intelligent load line calibration).

Pros
  • Best gaming connection: supports HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 output, two M.2 slots and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 USB Type-C
Cons
  • Was damaged

Worst customer support I've ever experienced.

First of all, Revain has been a lifesaver through all of this, they've made it as painless as possible for my problems solve. But ASUS. Oooh boy and the saddest thing is I would consider myself an Asus fan. All my previous builds have been with ASUS boards and for the most part have had no problems. As for this product, it's great. It is well packaged and protected, has the usual features, no complaints. It took a while to get the item but this has become the norm for all PCs since Covid. I…
