Overview
The ASRock B560 Pro4 is a full-size ATX motherboard built on the Intel B560 chipset with an LGA1200 socket, making it compatible with both 10th Generation and 11th Generation Intel Core processors. Designed for builders who need a stable, feature-rich foundation without moving to a Z-series platform, it delivers an 8-phase Digi Power design with premium 50A power chokes, which help maintain consistent voltage delivery to the CPU under sustained workloads. Memory support is a strong point: four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodate up to 128 GB of unbuffered DDR4, with overclocked speeds reaching up to 4800 MHz (OC) when paired with 11th Gen Core processors. Intel XMP 2.0 profiles are supported, and ECC UDIMM modules can be installed, though they operate in non-ECC mode. Storage flexibility is equally capable. A Hyper M.2 socket (M2_1) operates at PCIe Gen 4 x4, delivering up to 64 Gb/s — though this slot requires an 11th Gen processor to reach Gen 4 speeds. A second Ultra M.2 socket (M2_2) runs at PCIe Gen 3 x4 (32 Gb/s), and a third M.2 socket (M2_3) supports either PCIe Gen 3 x2 or SATA3. Six SATA3 6 Gb/s ports round out the storage connectivity, with Intel Rapid Storage Technology 18 support. Expansion slots include one PCIe x16 slot capable of PCIe 4.0 with an 11th Gen CPU, one additional PCIe x16 physical slot operating at x2 bandwidth, and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. A Key-E M.2 socket enables optional 802.11ac Wi-Fi or Intel CNVi wireless modules. For display output, the board provides HDMI 2.0 (4K @ 60 Hz) and DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4096x2304 @ 60 Hz) using the CPU's integrated graphics. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel HD audio with Nahimic Audio software. Networking uses an Intel I219V Gigabit LAN controller supporting Wake- LAN, PXE, and Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az. USB connectivity spans 8x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports (4 rear, 4 via front headers), 4x USB 2.0 ports (2 rear, 2 via header), and a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C header. RGB enthusiasts are served by 2x standard RGB headers and 2x addressable RGB headers, all manageable through ASRock Polychrome SYNC software. The POST Status Checker provides LED diagnostics for CPU, DRAM, VGA, and boot status at startup.
