Overview
The Gigabyte B560M Aorus Pro is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel B560 Express chipset, designed to pair with 10th and 11th Generation Intel Core processors in the LGA1200 socket. Its 12+1 phase digital VRM, powered by 50A DrMOS components and an 8-pin ATX 12V connector, delivers clean, stable power to demanding processors — a configuration that suits both everyday computing and enthusiast-level workloads. Memory flexibility is a defining strength of this board. When paired with 11th Generation Core i9, i7, or i5 processors, the four DDR4 DIMM slots support overclocked speeds up to DDR4 5333 MHz (O.C.), with a maximum capacity of 128 GB across four slots (up to 32 GB per DIMM). The board ships with Shielded Memory Routing to improve signal integrity for high-frequency memory kits and full XMP profile support. Storage options are equally capable. The primary M.2 slot (M2P_CPU) supports PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drives when used with an 11th Generation processor, while a secondary M.2 slot on the board's reverse side (M2A_SB) accepts both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe drives. Both slots feature Gigabyte's Thermal Guard heatsinks. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports round out the internal storage connectivity. Connectivity on the rear I/O panel includes a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port delivering up to 20 Gb/s, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A port, two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, six USB 2.0 ports, an Intel 2.5GbE LAN port (with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping software), one DisplayPort 1.2 output, one HDMI 1.4 port, and six audio jacks driven by a Realtek HD Audio codec with 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel support. The board's RGB Fusion 2.0 system manages two addressable LED strip headers and two standard RGB strip headers, enabling multi-zone lighting control. Smart Fan 6 provides hybrid fan control across five headers (one CPU, one water-cooling pump, three system), each rated up to 2A/24W, with support for fan-stop functionality. The pre-installed I/O shield and Q-Flash Plus button — which allows BIOS updates without installing a CPU, memory, or GPU — simplify initial builds and maintenance.
