The Prime B660 motherboard offers flexible tools to help you optimize every aspect of your system. This allows you to adjust performance perfectly to your way of working and maximize productivity.All-round energy efficiencyThe Energy Processing Unit (EPU) optimizes the power consumption and maximizes energy savings with the Away mode – an intelligent setting, which creates an extreme power saving scenario by switching off unused I/O controllers.Flexible controls for air and water coolingThe Asus fan Xpert 2+ software offers comprehensive control of fans, water pumps and all-in-one (AiO) cooler. No matter, whether you are cooling with air or water, the Auto-Tuning mode configures all parameters intelligently with a single click. There is also an extremely quiet mode, which reduces the speed of all fans below the standard minimum, so that your system remains whisper-quiet even under light system loads. Fans, water pumps and AiO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.Precise digital power controlThe Digi+ Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) provides real-time control over the voltage drop and automatically controls the frequency and energy efficiency settings. It also allows you to optimize your CPU for ultimate stability and performance.UEFI BIOS The renowned Asus UEFI BIOS provides everything WAS you need to configure, optimize and tune your system. It offers both intelligently simplified options for beginners to PC and comprehensive features for experienced veterans.Advanced tuning for passionate TweakerAn intuitive advanced mode, offered via the UEFI, lets you take full control. A built-in search feature makes it easy to find options and various advanced features allow you to make smart adjustments so you can adjust the performance exactly as you want it.Fast and easy setupEZ Mode displays important settings and statistics, plus wizards, drag-and-drop features, and the ability to make important settings with one click - so you can set up your system in no time at all.COOLING The Prime B660 series is equipped with several onboard heat sinks and a series of hybrid fan headers to ensure that your system stays cool and stable even under heavy loads.M.2 Heat sinkThe M.2 heat sink prevents the threshing, which can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transmissions. The heat sink is fastened with captive screws.VRM- heat sink and heat conducting padThe VRM heat sink and thermal pad improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.Multiple temperature sourcesEach connection can be dynamically assigned to one of three temperature sensors. With Fan Xpert 2+ you can map the temperature of the supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize the cooling for GPU-intensive and CPU-intensive tasks.AIO pump portA special PWM/DC connection for custom water cooling.Intelligent protectionA special integrated circuit protects each fan connector from overheating and overcurrent.4-pin PWM/DC fansEach onboard header supports the automatic detection of PWM or DC fans.Robust Power design A stable power supply is important to the last quantum of performance from the Intel processors of 12. Generation. THE PRIME B660-PLUS D4 is designed to meet the needs of these high-core CPUs.ProCool connectionThe proprietary connector complements the connection of the mainboard to the power supply with a 8-pin connector that passes the 12-volt voltage directly to the processors. Each socket is fitted with massive contacts, which can handle higher currents than sockets with hollow contacts.DDR4 5333(OC)Trace routing design enhancements enable improved access to memory bandwidth for the latest Intel processors. Asus OptiMem II technology carefully maps the memory signal paths across different PCB layers to reduce path distance and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.Asus OptiMem IIThe revised trace guidance of the mainboard enables the latest Intel processors an unrestricted access to the memory bandwidth. Asus OptiMem II technology carefully maps the signal paths of the memory over the different PCB layers to reduce through-contacting and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. Benefits of Asus OptiMem II: Improved memory stability and compatibility Enables lower memory latency at the same voltage Higher reserves of the storage frequencyThree M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)The Prime B660-PLUS D4 offers a total of three M.2 slots that support data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe® 4.0, enabling faster boot and load times for operating systems and applications.PCIe® 4.0 slotPrime B660 motherboards were specially designed for the 12. Generation of Intel® Core™ CPUs optimized and offer PCIe® 4.0 connectivity for the latest GPUs. The high bandwidth and super-fast transfer speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can easily handle high loads.USB 3.2 2x 2nd Gen type C®A wide range of USB ports enable high-end rigs to which many peripheral devices are connected, including USB Type-C® ports on the back with fast USB 3.2 2x 2nd Gen for transfer speeds of up to 20 GbpsThunderbolt™ 4 supportPrime B660-PLUS D4 offers Thunderbolt™ 4 support via an on-board header. With the latest Intel-certified Asus ThunderboltTM 4 add-on card can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbit/s via a single cable. In addition, this card has a daisy-chain function for connecting multiple monitors and supports displays with a resolution of up to 8K. In addition, it can provide up to 100 watt power for the quick charging of devices.Realtek 2.5 GB ETHERNET2.The 5GB Ethernet connection reduces the CPU overhead and offers a faster and smoother data transfer.Individualization The Prime B660 series adds the fine details that enhance every experience, from exclusive codecs that deliver superior audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls that let you customize your system to create a personal look.Aura SyncA well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a suitable aesthetic. Asus aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as for strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers - all of which can be synchronized with a constantly growing portfolio of Aura-enabled hardware.Addressable Gen 2 headerThree addressable Gen 2 headers can detect the number of LEDs on second-generation addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tune light effects to specific devices. The new headers are also backwards compatible with existing Aura RGB devices.Armoury CratArmoury Crate is a new software program that gives you central control over the supported products. With Armoury Crate, you can easily adjust RGB lighting and effects for all compatible devices in your arsenal via a single intuitive interface. The software also offers the ability to control settings for a growing number of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse settings. Armoury Crate even has its own product registration and news to keep you in touch with the ASUS community.Q-LEDWith the integrated Q-LED troubleshooting lights, PC farmers can quickly determine if the most important components - CPU, memory, graphics card, drives - are functioning normally during start-up.SafeSlot Core+SafeSlot Core+ is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe-slot, which is reinforced with a one-piece stainless steel brace, which protects the slot against damages. The metal cover is securely attached to the slot by hooks and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the board with reinforced solder points to provide a secure foundation for heavy-duty graphics cards.Reinforced solder points around the PCIe and DIMM pins.Metal inserts ensure that the graphics cards are correctly aligned when installing.The metal side parts are fitted with hooks which tightly surround the slot.Overvoltage protectionAn exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect your motherboard from unexpected high voltage damage from unstable or low-quality power supplies.DRAM over-current protectionResettable fuses on-board prevent overcurrent and short circuit damage.
