Cooling
- 1. The extensive surface of the huge heatsink covers the VRM units and coils to improve heat dissipation.
- 2. The dual M.2 slots feature special heatsinks, keeping the M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures for stable performance and reliability.
Complete fan controls
The TUF GAMING B660M motherboards feature complete fan controls that can be adjusted through the Fan Xpert 2+ utility or the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.
- Each header can be adjusted to monitor and respond to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 2+ or through UEFI.
- An integrated AIO system allows full control of PWM or DC water pumps, making it ideal for custom or standalone cooling setups.
- All onboard chassis fan headers support automatic detection of PWM or DC fans.
- A dedicated circuit protects each fan header from excessive heat and electrical currents.
DDR4 OC 5333
Improvements in trace routing design provide the latest Intel processors with enhanced memory bandwidth access. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal paths across different layers of the PCB to reduce trace length and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce interference.
Two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots
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 loading times with operating system or application drives.
PCIe 5.0
Intel 12th and 13th generation processors bring PCIe 5.0 support. 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 expansion cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C
The extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide range of peripheral devices. The TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS WIFI D4 includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port on the rear input/output 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 through an integrated header. With a certified Intel additional card ASUS ThunderboltEX 4, the TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS WIFI D4 can also allow bidirectional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable.
In addition, this card features daisy-chain functionality for connecting multiple displays and supports up to 8K resolution. It can also provide power up to 100 Watts for fast device charging.
TUF Gaming Alliance
The TUF GAMING Alliance is a collaboration between ASUS and reliable commercial brands of PC components to ensure compatibility across a wide range of components, such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kits, and many more. With new partnerships and components being added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance will continue to grow even further.
SafeSlot & SafeDIMM
PCIe 5.0 is 2 times faster than PCIe 4.0, so we have adapted the SMT manufacturing process for faster SafeSlot, to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal casing that is added to a PCIe slot to keep a card securely installed. Meanwhile, the powerful ASUS SafeDIMM slots support and protect memory modules on selected ASUS motherboards, allowing you to install your modules with speed, precision, and confidence.
TUF LANGuard
The TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that incorporates advanced signal coupling technology and top-quality surface-mounted capacitors to improve performance, protecting the motherboard from lightning and static electricity.
M.2 Q-Latch
The innovative Q-Latch facilitates the installation or removal of an SSD M.2 without the need for specialized tools. The design utilizes a simple locking mechanism to secure the SSD M.2, eliminating the need for screws.
Q-LED
The built-in Q-LED troubleshooting lights provide computer manufacturers with a quick indication to confirm that the essential components, CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage devices - are functioning properly during startup.
Armoury Crate
Armoury Crate is ASUS's exclusive software that gives you centralized control of supported gaming products. From a single intuitive workspace, Armoury Crate allows you to easily customize RGB lighting and effects for each compatible device in your arsenal and synchronize them with Aura Sync for unique system lighting effects.
It also provides hardware information and control of settings for a select and growing number of products, such as keyboard and mouse preferences, Fan Xpert 2+ and Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation, making it easy to configure the appearance and atmosphere of your system.
Intel WiFi 6
The Intel WiFi 6 unit 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 crowded networks with a lot of competitive traffic. Combine your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully enjoy the networking capabilities of WiFi 6.
2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
The integrated 2.5G Ethernet boosts LAN connection to higher levels with bandwidth improvement of up to 2.5X. By using the existing LAN cable, you can take advantage of this network upgrade to enjoy smoother gaming without delays, stream high-resolution videos instantly, and experience faster file transfers.
Bidirectional AI Noise Cancelation
This powerful utility, available exclusively from ASUS, utilizes a vast deep learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio while preserving voices. Annoying keyboard noise, mouse clicks, and other ambient noises are eliminated, allowing you to hear and be heard with absolute clarity during gaming or calls.
Aura Sync RGB
The TUF Gaming B660M series features edge lighting to enhance its sturdy 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 preset options for built-in LED lights, as well as third-party strips that you can connect to the built-in RGB headers. And all of this can be synchronized with a constantly expanding arsenal of Aura-enabled hardware.
