Product overview

ASUS Prime B560-PLUS arrived in early 2021 as part of Intel’s 500‑series platform for LGA1200, built for 11th Gen Core (Rocket Lake) and backward‑compatible with 10th Gen chips. As a B560 ATX board, it targets the mainstream tier, giving builders modern I/O and storage without the cost of Z‑series overclocking features.

It suits first-time builders and everyday LGA1200 systems needing expansion/multi‑M.2 and high‑speed memory: two M.2 slots (one PCIe 4.0 with an 11th Gen CPU), six SATA, up to 128 GB DDR4 across four DIMMs, 1 GbE, and DP/HDMI/D‑Sub for CPUs with iGPU. Unique note: it includes an onboard header for the ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 card to enable Thunderbolt 4 connectivity.
