GIGABYTE B560M H V2 DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The Gigabyte B560M H V2 is a Micro ATX motherboard measuring 24.4 cm x 21.0 cm, built on the Intel B560 Express Chipset and fitted with the LGA1200 socket. It supports 10th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors, as well as 11th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, and i5 processors, making it a versatile platform for a wide range of Intel desktop builds. Memory support is provided by two DDR4 DIMM slots capable of holding up to 64 GB of system RAM (32 GB per single DIMM). With 11th Gen processors installed, the board supports DDR4 speeds up to 3200 MT/s, including XMP profiles. Dual-channel memory architecture helps improve bandwidth for everyday multitasking and content creation tasks. For storage, the board includes one M.2 Socket 3 connector (M key, supporting type 2242/2260/2280/22110 in both PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 and SATA configurations) alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports, providing ample options for SSDs and traditional hard drives. The primary PCIe x16 slot supports PCIe 4.0 when paired with an 11th Gen processor, enabling high-bandwidth discrete graphics cards. Connectivity on the rear panel includes one HDMI 1.4 port (up to 4096x2160 @ 30 Hz), one D-Sub port (up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz), two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, four USB 2.0/1.1 ports, one RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port (Realtek GbE), and three audio jacks driven by a Realtek HD Audio CODEC supporting up to 7.1-channel output. A PS/2 keyboard/mouse port rounds out legacy connectivity. Power delivery uses a 6+2-phase design with low RDS MOSFETs and solid capacitors, fed through an 8-pin solid-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector for stable operation under sustained loads. The Smart Fan 6 fan control system supports multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP functionality, allowing fans to stop entirely under light loads. Software utilities include Gigabyte APP Center, EasyTune for in-Windows tuning, @BIOS for firmware updates, System Information Viewer for hardware monitoring, Q-Flash for BIOS updates without a CPU installed, and Smart Backup. The AMI UEFI BIOS is stored on a 256 Mbit flash chip and complies with PnP 1.0a, DMI 2.7, WfM 2.0, SM BIOS 2.7, and ACPI 5.0 standards.
