Rock-Solid Performance

With upgraded power delivery and comprehensive cooling options to drive the 11th and 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, plus support for faster memory and storage, TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS series motherboards are the perfect foundation for your next high-core-count battle rig.

Power Design

DrMOS

The onboard VRM of TUF GAMING B560 series motherboards utilize 8+1 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 11th Gen Intel Core processors demand.

6-layer PCB Design

Multiple PCB layers shift heat away from critical components, providing more headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds.

ProCool Connectors

Enhanced EATX 8-Pin Connectors

・ Extreme durability
・ Prevent hotspots and connector failure

Compared with traditional power inputs, ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.

TUF Components

TUF Chokes

Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU, improving system stability.

TUF Capacitors

Proprietary capacitors provide up to 52% wider temperature tolerance and 2.5X-longer lifespan.

Digi+ VRM

The integrated Digi+ VRM voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.

Cooler by Design

1. Larger VRM heatsink

A larger, high-mass heatsink with extensive surface that covers the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation.

Thermal pad

High quality thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.

2. Flexible M.2 Heatsink

TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS Series have flexible M.2 heatsink to use on more M.2 slots and keep the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

Comprehensive Fan Controls

TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS series motherboards feature comprehensive fan controls that can be configured via Fan Xpert 2+ utility or via the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.

Multiple temperature sources
4-pin PWM/DC fan
Smart protection

Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 2+ or via the UEFI.
An integrated AiO system enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, making it perfect for custom or self-contained cooling setups.
All onboard chassis fan headers support auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature and overcurrent.

PCIe 4.0 M.2 (up to 64 Gbps)

TUF GAMING B560 series motherboards feature PCIe 4.0 M.2 for an incredible performance boost.

* Actual transmission speed will be lower than theorectical maximum speed.
**The M.2_1 supports PCIe 4.0 and the M.2_2 support PCIe 3.0

DRAM Overclocking Performance

DDR4 OC 5000 MHz+

Revisions to the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

Memory Speed Improvement

USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C

Numerous USB ports support gaming rigs loaded with peripherals, including a rear-panel rear-panel USB Type-C connector with fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity for compatible cases.
