Description
The Asus TUF Gaming B660M-PLUS WIFI motherboard is aimed at users seeking a smaller motherboard with gaming capabilities and performance for Intel 12th and 13th generation processors.
The motherboard is designed for smaller Micro-ATX cases and features built-in WiFi, PCIe 5.0 support, and technologies such as the Realtek S1200A codec and TUF LANGuard.
- Intel Socket LGA 1700: Ready for 13th & 12th Gen Intel Core processors
- Enhanced power solution: 10+1 DrMOS power stages, six-layer PCB, 8+4 ProCool sockets, TUF military-grade components, and Digi+ VRM for maximum durability
- Comprehensive cooling: Enlarged VRM heatsink, Stack Cool 3+, M.2 heatsinks, PCH heatsink, hybrid fan headers, and Fan Xpert 2+
- Latest connectivity: PCIe 5.0 slot, DDR5 memory, PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, front panel header for USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and Thunderbolt 4 support
- Built for online gaming: Intel WiFi 6, Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet, TUF LANGuard
- Two-way AI noise cancellation: Reduces background noise from the microphone and audio output for crystal-clear communication in games or video conferences
Cooling
- 1. The extensive surface of the massive heatsink covers the VRM modules and coils to improve heat dissipation.
- 2. The dual M.2 slots feature dedicated heatsinks, keeping the M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
DRAM Overclocking Performance
Improvements in trace routing design provide the latest Intel processors with enhanced access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal paths across different layers of the PCB to reduce trace distance and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.
PCIe 4.0 M.2
The two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to two 2280 devices and data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, allowing for faster boot and application load times with operating system or application drives.
PCIe 5.0
Intel 12th and 13th generation processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to the market. PCIe 5.0 offers double the data transfer speed compared to PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new tasks with large data volumes. PCIe 5.0 also brings other advantages, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C
Extensive USB support ensures connections with a wide range of peripheral devices. The TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS WIFI includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port on the rear I/O panel that provides increased bandwidth and transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
Thunderbolt 4 Support
The TUF GAMING B660M series features Thunderbolt 4 support via an integrated header. With an Intel-certified add-on card ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 the TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS WIFI can also enable bidirectional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable. Additionally, this card features a daisy-chain function for connecting multiple displays and supports up to an 8K resolution display. It can also provide up to 100 Watts of power for fast device charging.
TUF Gaming Alliance
The TUF GAMING Alliance is a collaboration between ASUS and trusted PC component brands to ensure compatibility across a wide range of parts, such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kits, and more. With new partnerships and components being added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance will continue to grow even further.
SafeSlot and SafeDIMM
PCIe 5.0 is 2 times faster than PCIe 4.0, so we adapted the SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal casing added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed. Meanwhile, the robust ASUS SafeDIMM cases support and protect memory modules on selected ASUS motherboards, allowing you to install your modules with speed, precision, and confidence.
TUF LANGuard
TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that integrates advanced signal coupling technology and top-tier surface-mounted capacitors to enhance performance, protecting the motherboard from lightning and static electricity.
Intel WiFi 6
The Intel WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and increases the theoretical maximum bandwidth to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it is optimized for more efficient operation in busy networks with a lot of competitive traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully enjoy the networking capabilities of WiFi 6.
Aura Sync RGB Lighting
A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. The TUF Gaming B660M series features edge lighting to enhance its robust appearance, and now the PCH heatsink gains RGB lighting to take the style even further. ASUS Aura offers full RGB control with a variety of functional presets for built-in LED lights, as well as third-party strips that you can connect to the integrated RGB headers. And all of this can be synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
