Intel® B560 LGA 1200 ATX motherboard with PCIe 4.0, 8+2 teamed power stages, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet, two M.2 slots with heatsinks, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 USB Type-C®, SATA and Aura Sync RGB lighting.

POTENTIAL, REALIZED

Robust power delivery and comprehensive cooling features ensure exceptional performance, while AI-powered enhancements optimize network settings and improve in-game communication — all to help you maximize the full potential of your rig.

TEAMED POWER STAGES

8+2 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors demand.

ALLOY CHOKES AND CAPACITORS

Superior chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.

PROCOOL POWER CONNECTOR

The ASUS ProCool socket is built to exacting specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines, enabling lower impedance and better heat dissipation.

DIGI+ POWER CONTROL

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

SIX-LAYER PCB

The PCB design quickly dissipates heat around the VRM to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

ADVANCED GAMING IMMERSION

The latest connectivity features and audio enhancements propel ROG Strix B560-A gaming performance to the next level.

COOLER BY DESIGN

ROG Strix B560 motherboards feature comprehensive cooling options that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.

TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION

This utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone* and incoming audio, while preserving vocals at the same time. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are intelligently neutralized so you can hear and be heard with crystal clarity while gaming or in calls.

*An audio splitter (3.5 mm audio jack Y-cable) is necessary when using a 3.5 mm headset.

AI NETWORKING

The proprietary ROG GameFirst VI utility is designed to help all users — beginners, experts, and everyone in between — optimize network settings to ensure smooth online gameplay. New to this generation, GameFirst VI features AI enhanced identification and boost technology to ensure faster and smarter network optimization.

SUPREMEFX

Leveraging premium components together with advanced circuit layout optimizations and shielding techniques, ROG SupremeFX technology ensures pristine audio for all inputs and outputs. Front panel audio output quality is further preserved by a Savitech amplifier that's capable of driving a diverse range of gaming headsets and high-fidelity headphones.

AUDIO USB TYPE-C®

Dedicated onboard hardware and power filtering allow the Audio Type-C® port to pipe crystal clear sonics to 3.5mm analogue headphones or the ROG Delta headset.

S210 INTEGRATED CHIP

The S210 control chip automatically switches the port to USB 2.0 protocol or stereo audio output for your preferred Type-C to 3.5mm converter cable.

PLAY YOUR OWN STYLE

Pair ROG Strix B560-A Gaming WiFi with other products from the diverse ROG ecosystem to create a fully customized gaming setup that reflects your personal style.

ROG GIVES YOU MORE

ROG-exclusive firmware and software utilities deliver intuitive tuning options that help get the most from your gaming build. To further aid system setup and performance tuning, the highly acclaimed AIDA64 utility has also been added to the mix.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

SONIC STUDIO III

ROG Sonic Studio supports HRTF-based (head-related transfer function*) virtual surround for VR headsets, casting an immersive aural landscape that draws you deeper into the action. The intuitive Sonic Studio interface also offers a range of EQ options and one-click presets, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the characteristics of your headset.

AIDA64

ROG Strix B560 motherboards include a 60-day AIDA64 Extreme subscription. This industry-leading system information tool provides detailed information about installed hardware and software, and it also provides benchmarks for measuring performance of the entire system or individual components. AIDA64 Extreme includes a monitoring and diagnostics feature to detect and prevent hardware issues. All vital system sensors can be tracked in real time, allowing voltage readings, fan speeds, and temperature information to be displayed on the desktop or sent to dedicated displays or to the LCD panels of ROG AIO liquid coolers*.

ARMOURY CRATE

Armoury Crate is a software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products, making it easy to tune the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate lets you easily customize RGB lighting and effects for compatible devices and synchronize them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme across your system. You can also use Armoury Crate to download drivers, software and the user manual. In addition, Armoury Crate features a dedicated product registration page as well as a news feed to help you stay in touch with the gaming community.

RAMCACHE III

RAMCache III software turns milliseconds into microseconds to boost game-load times. Fully compatible with the latest NVM Express® storage options, its uniquely intelligent technology effectively caches an entire storage device so that favorite games and apps launch at breakneck speeds.
