A Recipe for Affordable Performance: Upgrading from 10th Gen Intel to 11th Gen with Asus Tough Gaming B560M Plus Wi-Fi Motherboard

First things first, this is a sponsored video where Asus sent over the CPU and motherboard, and we received compensation to highlight certain features of the product. So, what was the recipe successful? If you have Intel 10th gen, most likely your motherboard is a B460 and the Tough Gaming D560M Plus Wi-Fi offers substantial speed boosts compared to that old motherboard line. More importantly, practical human speed boosts.

The B560M Plus Wi-Fi for one has native support of USB 3.2 which manages a blistering speed of 10 gigabits per second. This is a significant improvement over the older USB 3.0 standard, making it ideal for mobility patterns, file downloads, and easy TV streaming. Even work files can benefit from this faster transfer rate. Moreover, this motherboard has USB-C slots, which support even faster speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second.

Another feature that sets the B560M Plus Wi-Fi apart is its Wi-Fi 6 capabilities. This is the fastest Wi-Fi standard available, and it's essential for those who want a reliable internet connection without the hassle of cables. The motherboard also comes with Wi-Fi 6, which offers excellent performance, just as good if not better than wired connections. Speaking of wired LAN connections, even that has been substantially upgraded on this motherboard. The standard speed for most LAN connections on most motherboards is 1 gigabit, but the B560M Plus Wi-Fi more than doubles that with a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet controller.

This motherboard also features a blistering ramp speed of 5000 megahertz, which is insane. You're well-positioned for any future upgrades if you have anything even approaching that kind of ramp speed. Finally, for productivity, this motherboard also features Asus' two-way AI noise cancellation. This is a godsend for people who are working from home but in the background are noisy cars and shouting neighbors and banging things and falling things. The AI feature strips all of that out, allowing you to focus on your work without any distractions.

The AI noise cancellation technology works both ways, just his or her voice as well. I've tried this Asus technology before with ROG Strix Ga-Z90-Plus and the Z590 Plus motherboard, and both times the implementation was excellent. In this video, we're currently testing two-way AI noise cancellation from this Asus Tough Gaming B560M Plus Wi-Fi motherboard.

The audio from the motherboard shows foreign sounds as you can see, but overall, this recipe of having a slightly older CPU and a new motherboard is a nice bridge if you will, between upgrading to 11th gen Intel. You'll get all the speed boosts that I've talked about, and then later on, you can upgrade to Intel 11th Gen for that PCIe 4 goodness.

Now, let's talk about gaming performance. We tried this build in Dota 2 and Valorant, both popular games that don't have demanding requirements. In Dota 2, we were getting an average of around 56 frames per second, which is very playable. But in Valorant, where a high frame rate is essential, we got a very decent 71 frames per second on medium settings. These results are not bad for this setup.

Furthering your gaming experience, this combo would also go well with a graphics card, so you might want to consider slotting that into your upgrade path. Those last two cards though might be overkill, whatever upgrade plan you have in mind you can always depend on this board which has an enlarged DRM heatsink, something that enthusiasts always obsess about as well as M.2 heatsinks.

In short, the Tough Gaming B560M Plus Wi-Fi keeps everything that needs to be kept cool, it's certainly an interesting contender if you're looking for a budget all-around work slash gaming PC. The Tough Gaming B560M Plus Wi-Fi serves as the gateway to several practical speed boosts while you're waiting to upgrade from 10th gen Intel to the 11th Gen.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up internet and welcome to the hardware sugar kitchen today we're trying a new recipe affordable pero performance and to do that we have two secret ingredients we're pairing something a little old soparan or fine wine and something new our first secret ingredient the tough gaming b560m plus wi-fi but wait aren't these motherboards usually for 11th gen intel cpus they are but a lot of people forget that they're still compatible with our second secret ingredient which is a 10th gen intel cpu specifically the i5 10 400. so something which is just slightly old with something new and again our goal here is to have an affordable performance bearing how do these two mix together let's find out first things first this is a sponsored video so asus sent over the cpu and the motherboard and we received compensation to highlight certain features of the product so was the recipe successful if you have intel 10th gen most likely your motherboard is a b460 and the tough gaming d560m plus wi-fi offers substantial speed boosts compared to that old motherboard line more importantly practical human speed boosts a b560m plus wi-fi for one it has native support of usb 3.2 which manages a blistering speed of 10 gigabits per second so mobility pattern files download more from easy tv i mean work files moon garlic's a local hard drive to your usb with a much faster speed of usb 3.2 the motherboard also has usb c slots atmos mobile is download smoke b560m plus wi-fi comes with wi-fi six which is the fastest wi-fi standard now aluminum mobile is internal network mode and to be honest before i wasn't a believer in wi-fi pero after trying the asus motherboards and asus laptops i'm a believer now the wi-fi is excellent it's just as good if not better than the wired connection that i'm used to and speaking of wired lan connections even that is substantially upgraded the standard speed for most lan connections on most motherboards is one gigabit and that standard has been around for years but the tough gaming b560m plus wi-fi more than doubles that with a 2.5 gigabit ethernet controller so if you want to go wired that's super fast as well on this motherboard and still on the fast side of things this motherboard supports a blistering ramp speed of 5000 megahertz which is insane you're well positioned for any future upgrades if you have anything even approaching that kind of ramp speed finally for productivity this motherboard also features asus two-way ai noise cancellation this is a godsend for people who are working from home but in the background are noisy cars and shouting neighbors and banging things and falling things and aluminum and this ai feature strips all of that out you don't need to use an asus headset you don't need to toggle any setting well i'm not complicated it just works and the other people on the call that you're talking with will not hear any of that background noise they'll only hear your voice and it works both ways just his or her voice as well i've tried this asus technology before with rog strix go 2.4 and the z590 plus motherboard and both times the implementation was excellent so in this video we're currently testing two-way ai noise cancellation from this asus stuff b560 motherboard and uh this is the audio from the motherboard and that's foreign as you can see um overall this recipe of having a slightly older cpu and a new motherboard it's a nice bridge if you will be upgrading to 11th gen intel so you can purchase first the tough gaming b560m plus wi-fi you'll get all of the speed boosts that i've talked about and then later on you can upgrade to intel 11th gen for that pcie 4 goodness but enough about productivity how does it game does this recipe also give you a decent gaming rig on a budget for gaming we tried this build in dota 2 and valorant both popular games which do not have demanding requirements in dota 2 we were getting an average of around 56 frames per second in valorant where a high frame rate is essential we got a very decent 71 frames per second and that was on medium settings basically anything above 60 frames per second is very playable so these results were not bad for this setup to further your gaming experience this combo would also go very well with a graphics card so you might want to consider slotting that into your upgrade path those last two cards though might be overkill whatever upgrade plan you have in mind you can always depend on this board which has an enlarged drm heatsink something which enthusiasts always obsess about as well as
