Biostar B560MX-E PRO LGA1200 DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard
The Biostar B560MX-E PRO LGA1200 DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard is the most expandable board in this LGA1200 group, with four DDR4 slots, two M.2 sockets and a WiFi 6 module slot for 10th and 11th Gen Intel builds. It suits a gaming PC or a home workstation where extra memory, dual NVMe drives and wireless connectivity all matter at once.

Four DDR4 Slots and Dual M.2 with a WiFi 6 Module Slot
The B560MX-E PRO's four memory slots double the memory ceiling of its two-slot siblings to 128GB, and its two M.2 sockets let a builder run a PCIe 4.0 boot drive alongside a second NVMe drive. The WiFi 6 module slot with rear antenna ports adds wireless networking as an option without occupying a PCIe slot.
- Install a 10th or 11th Gen Intel processor in the LGA1200 socket
- Populate the four DDR4 DIMM slots up to 128GB for memory-heavy work
- Fit a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in the 11th Gen-only M.2 socket and a second drive in the PCIe 3.0 and SATA M.2 socket
- Install a graphics card in the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for gaming
- Add a WiFi 6 module in the dedicated slot when wireless connectivity is needed
