Biostar Announces Two New B560 mATX Motherboards

Today, Biostar announced a pair of B560 mATX motherboards for Intel’s 10th/11th Gen processors, the B560MX-E PRO and B560MH-E PRO. These business-to-casual use motherboards have remarkably similar features including connectors for two M.2 4.0, four SATA III (6GBs), two PCIe 4.0, as well as WiFi 6. The main difference between the two is the lack of a DVI-D port on the B560MH-E PRO motherboard. Pricing and availability have not been disclosed at the time of this writing so if you’re interested in a light use or business class motherboard, follow the links at the bottom of this press release.
