GIGABYTE B560M DS3H V3 DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The Gigabyte B560M DS3H V3 is a Micro ATX motherboard designed for Intel LGA1200 socket processors, supporting both 10th and 11th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium, and Celeron CPUs. Built around the Intel H470 Express Chipset, it offers a solid foundation for home, office, and entry-level enthusiast builds in a compact 24.4 cm x 24.4 cm form factor. Memory capacity is a highlight: four DDR4 DIMM slots support dual-channel configurations and up to 128 GB of system memory (32 GB per DIMM), with speeds up to DDR4 3200 MT/s on compatible 11th Gen processors. XMP profiles are supported for straightforward memory tuning. Storage options include one M.2 Socket 3 connector (supporting 2242/2260/2280/22110 PCIe x4/x2 NVMe drives) alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support — giving builders flexibility to combine fast NVMe storage with traditional hard drives or SSDs. Connectivity is handled by an Intel Gigabit Ethernet LAN controller with cFosSpeed traffic management software, helping to reduce latency in bandwidth-contested environments. USB coverage includes five USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (three rear, two internal) and six USB 2.0/1.1 ports (two rear, four internal). Display outputs on the rear panel include D-Sub (up to 1920×1200 @ 60 Hz), DVI-D (up to 1920×1200 @ 60 Hz), and HDMI (up to 4096×2160 @ 30 Hz), with support for up to three simultaneous displays via integrated Intel HD Graphics. The board ships with Gigabyte's Smart Fan 5 system, supporting both PWM and voltage-mode fan headers and a customisable fan curve. RGB Fusion 2.0 enables control of board and external RGB/ARGB LED strips via a dedicated addressable LED header and an RGB LED header. Audio is delivered through a Realtek High Definition Audio CODEC supporting 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel output. Additional features include Q-Flash Plus for BIOS updates without a CPU or RAM installed, a TPM header for GC-TPM2.0 SPI modules, two Thunderbolt add-in card connectors, and full AMI UEFI BIOS with Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit support.
