ASUS TUF Gaming B660M Plus Wifi DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS TUF Gaming B660M-Plus WiFi D4 is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel B660 chipset, designed for 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors via the LGA1700 socket. Measuring 24.4 cm × 24.4 cm, it fits compactly in most mid-tower and micro-ATX cases without compromising on features. Memory support is a highlight: four DIMM slots accommodate up to 128 GB of DDR4 in dual-channel configuration, with speeds ranging from DDR4-2133 up to DDR4-5333 (OC) backed by Intel XMP and ASUS OptiMem II trace-routing technology. For storage, two M.2 Key-M slots — both supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 at up to 64 Gbps — are paired with four SATA 6 Gb/s ports; RAID 0/1/5/10 is available through Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Expansion is handled by a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot (from the 12th Gen CPU lanes), a chipset-fed PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (x4 mode), and a PCIe 4.0 x1 slot. Networking is covered by Intel Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax, 2×2, 2.4/5 GHz) with Bluetooth 5.2, alongside a Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet port protected by TUF LANGuard surge and ESD shielding. The rear I/O panel carries eight USB ports — including one USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C (20 Gbps), four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbps), one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 Type-A — plus a DisplayPort 1.4 (4K@60 Hz) and HDMI 2.1 (4K@60 Hz) for integrated graphics output. A Thunderbolt 4 header is onboard for optional add-in card connectivity. Audio is handled by a Realtek 7.1-channel HD codec with 24-bit/192 kHz playback, audio shielding, dedicated PCB layers, and a rear optical S/PDIF output. Cooling is supported by an enlarged VRM heatsink, flexible M.2 heatsinks, one CPU fan header, one CPU OPT fan header, one AIO pump header, and three chassis fan headers — all configurable through Fan Xpert 2+ or the UEFI BIOS. Durability features include DIGI+ VRM with DrMOS, ESD Guards (±10 kV air / ±6 kV contact discharge), SafeSlot PCIe reinforcement, SafeDIMM, and stainless-steel rear I/O. RGB is supported via one AURA RGB header and three Addressable Gen 2 headers.
