SHOULD YOU BUY MSI B560M PRO-E MOTHERBOARD?
PROS
- Supports Both Intel 10th and 11th Generation Processors
- RAM can be overclocked to 4800MHz (Only for Intel I5 11th Generation and above)
- Comes with support for Onboard Graphics
- Decent pricing for mid range systems
- AI Cooling solution my MSI is decent
- Supports up to 128GB (64GB x 2) of RAM
CONS
- Only 2 RAM Slots
- SATA4 Slots cannot be used alongside NVMe
- Graphics card slot is very close to PCIe expansion slot and as a result the setup can be difficult. A riser for the card is suggested.
