Power Design

DrMOS

The onboard VRM of TUF GAMING B560 series motherboards utilize 8+1 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 11th Gen Intel Core processors demand.

6-layer PCB Design

Multiple PCB layers shift heat away from critical components, providing more headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds.

ProCool Connector

Enhanced EATX 8-Pin Connector

  • Extreme durability
  • Prevent hotspots and connector failure

Compared with traditional power inputs, ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.

TUF Components

  • TUF Chokes - Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU, improving system stability.
  • TUF Capacitors - Proprietary capacitors provide up to 20% greater temperature tolerance and 5X-longer lifespan.

Digi+ VRM

The integrated Digi+ VRM voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.

Cooling

Cooler by Design

  • Larger VRM heatsink - A larger, high-mass heatsink with extensive surface that covers the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation.
  • Thermal pad - High quality thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.
  • Flexible M.2 Heatsink - TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS Series have flexible M.2 heatsink to use on more M.2 slots and keep the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

Comprehensive Fan Controls

TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS series motherboards feature comprehensive fan controls that can be configured via Fan Xpert 4 utility or via the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.

  • Multiple temperature sources - Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or via the UEFI.?
  • 4-pin PWM/DC fan - All onboard chassis fan headers support auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
  • Smart protection - A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature and overcurrent.

Memory & Storage

PCIe 4.0 M.2 (up to 64 Gbps)

TUF GAMING B560 series motherboards feature PCIe 4.0 M.2 for an incredible performance boost.

* Actual transmission speed will be lower than theorectical maximum speed.
**The M.2_1 supports PCIe 4.0 and the M.2_2 support PCIe 3.0

DRAM Overclocking Performance

DDR4 OC 5000 MHz+

Revisions to the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

Connectivity
