Intel i5 11600k

Can an intel i5 11600k work fine on an ASUS b560m-e motherboards or will there be any problems?

B560 chipset can't overclock, so there is no point in putting a "K" CPU in it. Either you need a better board, or to just use a regular 11600.

Just cant overclock

Well, OP might don't want to oc, and getting that 3.9Ghz - 4.9Ghz. So it's not entirely pointless.

I'm running an 11700k on some Asus B560M mobo, forgot what version exactly.

k CPUs even without overclocking are usually rated at higher clocks than their nearest non-k equivalent.

For example, 11600 non-k is 2.8 GHz base, 4.8 GHz turbo, 65W TDP. 11600k is 3.9 base, 4.9 turbo, 95W TDP. Chances are if you set the CPUs to the same power limit, they'll behave similarly, but on average the k should still clock a little higher. Remember that changing power limit, even above TDP, is not counted as overclocking by Intel.

 

I don't know when Intel started doing it, you CAN memory overclock on B560.
