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.

Power Designed

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.

Cooling

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

CPU

CPU Fan Header
A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers for CPU coolers

AIO Pump Fan Header
A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups

M.2

M.2 Heatsink
Keeps the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability

Chassis

4-pin PWM/DC Fan Header
Each header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans

Intelligent Control

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.

Note:
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.

How It Works

Identification
GameFirst VI analyses your usage patterns and applications' digital signatures and compares them to a database of over 200,000 apps. This database is regularly updated to ensure apps are recognized correctly.

Boost
GameFirst VI intelligent switches application priority and adjusts bandwidth accordingly depending on the situation. When gaming, it accelerates and prioritizes game packets to give you supersmooth online gameplay even when you're streaming high-quality video to your audience or transferring large files.

Visualization
An intuitive graph gives you an overview of the network in real-time, simply click on the tab to view the current bandwidth usage of each application, geolocation status of each network connection, and an analysis of the WIFI channels.

What It Does

Network Insight
WIFI Quick Assist analysis network information including real-time bandwidth use to generate a graph to give you a clear overview of current network status. On top of that, when paired with a ROG router, you can scan your WIFI network to find the best channel, as well as use Game Boost to prioritize gaming devices and packets on your network for ultrafast online speeds.

Adaptive Intelligence
GameFirst VI takes note of what you're currently doing and adjusts bandwidth accordingly to ensure smoother online experiences, even when multitasking.

Gaming First Mode
Gaming First mode leverages on a massive application database and analysis of your frequently-used apps to prioritize gaming network traffic. This reduces jitter and decreases ping to give you lag-free online gaming.

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

Storage & Memory

Optimem II
ROG Strix B560-A Gaming WiFi supports up to 128 GB DDR4 memory across four slots. OptiMem II technology improves trace layout to significantly reduce vias and crosstalk, enhancing memory stability and compatibility while giving memory kits higher frequency margins.

PCIE 4.0-READY
ROG Strix B560-A Gaming WiFi features two onboard M.2 slots, one of which supports the latest PCIe 4.0 standard to provide maximum storage flexibility and the fastest data speeds available with the latest Intel processors.

Networking
