PRIME B560M-A AC motherboard, identified in the ASUS Global catalogue. Specifications below retain the manufacturer’s configuration and interface conditions.
Compatibility and maximum operating modes depend on the source’s stated hardware, firmware and connection requirements; manufacturer figures are not independent measurements.
Products in this catalogue that list the same socket or memory type as the ASUS PRIME B560M-A AC. A shared socket or memory type is necessary but not sufficient: check the exact CPU and memory support lists, and the BIOS version, before buying.
