Great board for the price. Performs great with the i5 11400F. This board runs, by default, with the power limits off, with 'ASUS Performance Enhancer' enabled. With these settings, the stock 11400F cooler does not cut it. Even with my Gammaxx 400 cooler it reaches 77-78c running prime95 avx512. Fortunately you can lock the power limits to Intel's spec of 65W PL1 / 154W PL2, which would probably allow you to use the stock cooler. This board also allows you to set the PL1 and PL2 limits manually. I personally limited PL1 to 88w and left PL2 at 154w. Also undervolted the CPU by 150mV and I get close to the same performance with all limits off, but with significantly reduced power consumption and heat during heavy workloads. I don't know if this board has VRM temperature settings, but the heatsink seems to do an adequate job of keeping the temps down, even with the power limits removed on my 11400F. Running prime95 and the power limits removed, the backside of the motherboard where the VRMs are peaked at ~66c in a 23-24c room. At my manual PL1/PL2 settings, VRM temps peaked at ~50c. Overall I'm very happy with the board. While the 12400 is considerably better and more efficient; at the time of this review, the 12400F + B660 board would be almost $100 more. The 11400F + B560 board seems to be the best bang for buck right now. This or the 12100F, but I opted for the 11400 due to availability and I prefer 6 core vs 4 core
