ASUS B560M-Plus TUF WiFi Preview

Up Close – Continued

Moving further down the PCB we have both Type-A and Type-C front panel connectors for the USB 3.2 Gen1.

  

Further down is a curious choice of three horizontally mounted single SATA ports, with the other three vertically mounted. We’re not sure why ASUS haven’t gone for a stacked set of six to free up a bit of room down the bottom right for the front panel connectors. Hmm. You can also get a closer look at the tiny B560 chipset heatsink.

  

As we move around you can see the USB 2.0 headers next to another AURA Sync lighting pair of RGB headers. You can also see the lower of the two M.2 slots, this one in PCIe 3.0 mode rather than the PCIe 4.0 one in the middle beneath the heatsink.

  

At the rear we have, from top to bottom, 4 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI and DisplayPort, USB 3.2G1 in both Type-A and Type-C, 2 USB 3.2G2 and hte 2.5G Intel LAN as well as the connectors for the WiFi 6 antenna, and of course the audio jacks.
