DIRECT POWER DESIGN
Direct 12+1 Phases Digital VRM Solution with Low RDS(on) MOSFET
Cleaner and more efficient power delivery to the CPU with better thermal performance ensure stability under high CPU
frequencies and heavy loading.
Benefits of Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs
- Optimized gate charge to minimize switching losses.
- Lower temperature, smaller size, better thermal characteristics.

ADVANCED THERMAL SOLUTION
B560M AORUS uses high performance Fully Covered thermal design with high coverage MOSFET Heatsinks and thick thermal
pad, providing ultimate MOSFET cooling performance for enthusiasts, overclockers and gamers.
1. Fully Covered Thermal Design
High coverage MOSFET Heatsinks to improve thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.
2. LAIRD 5 W/mK Thermal Pad
By using 1.5mm thicker 5 W/mK thermal conductivity pads, it can transfer 2.7x more heat compared to traditional thermal
pads in the same time.
3. M.2 Thermal Guard
Built-in M.2 heatsink prevent high-speed, PCIe 4.0 SSDs from throttling due to overheating.
1. 2X larger Surface
Increased surface area up to 2X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves
heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
2. Real One-piece Build
TMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface
drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors’ multi-piece design.
3. Multi-cut Design
TMOS features several channels and inlets on the heatsink. This design allows for the
air flow to go through which leads
to a great improvement of the heat transfer performance.
AORUS M.2 Thermal Guard
GIGABYTE Ultra-Efficient M.2 Thermal Guard
With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal
Guard prevents throttling
and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.

2X Faster than ever
- Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience.
- Support Multi-Gig(10/100/1000/2500Mbps) RJ-45 ethernet
Intel® USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C™ Controller
Intel's native USB 3.2 Gen2 host controller provides USB 3.2 Gen2 ports with speeds up to 10Gbps
.With twice the
bandwidth compared to its previous generation as well as backwards compatibility with USB 2.0
and USB 3.2 Gen1 , the
much improved USB 3.2 Gen2 protocol is available over the new reversible USB Type-C™ and the
traditional USB Type-A
connector for better compatibility over a wider range of devices.
USB Type-C® Front Panel Connector
Equipped with next generation connectivity AORUS Motherboards already support the chassis of the future.
The onboard USB
Type-C® header for USB 3.2 Gen1 makes access convenient when connecting a USB 3.2 Gen1 drive
or charging your new mobile
device.
