Corporate desktop model ASUS
The Corporate Stable Model (CSM) from ASUS is a commercial program designed to provide stable and reliable motherboards. It offers product lifecycle support of up to 36 months and a 6-month end-of-life notice, ensuring your organization has sufficient preparation time for product transitions. Each purchase of an ASUS CSM motherboard comes with ASUS Control Center Express, server-grade IT management software.
ASUS Control Center Express
ASUS Control Center Express is a comprehensive IT monitoring and management software designed for faster deployment, simplification of IT operations, and improvement of productivity with comprehensive control and user-friendly functions. ASUS Control Center Express is compatible with more than 100 ASUS motherboards to provide a high-quality, optimized solution for your business needs.
Flexible air and liquid cooling controls
The ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AiO) coolers. Whether you are cooling with air or water, an automatic tuning function intelligently adjusts all parameters with a single click. There is also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces all fan speeds below the default minimum threshold, keeping your system silent during light tasks. Fans, water pumps, and AiO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
M.2 Heatsink
The M.2 heatsink prevents throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during continuous transfers. The heatsink is held in place with captive screws.
VRM Cooling
The VRM heatsink and thermal pad improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
The Prime B660 series features comprehensive cooling controls that can be configured via the Fan Xpert 2+ software or through the UEFI BIOS.
- Multiple temperature sources
- Smart protection of connections from overheating and overvoltage
- Each onboard header supports automatic detection of PWM or DC fans
ProCool Connector
The connector enhances the motherboard's connection to the power supply with an 8-pin connector that delivers 12 volts directly to the processors. Each socket features solid pins that can handle more current than connectors with hollow pins.
DDR4 5333(OC)
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.
ASUS OptiMem II
Revisions in the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal paths across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows for lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Enhanced memory frequency margin
Two M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)
The Prime B660M-A D4 offers a total of two M.2 slots that support 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 4.0 Slot
The Prime B660 motherboards are specifically designed for 13th and 12th generation Intel Core CPUs and offer PCIe 4.0 connectivity for the latest GPUs. The high bandwidth and ultra-fast transfer speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can effortlessly handle high loads.
Aura Sync
A well-tuned system of enthusiasm deserves a corresponding aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full control of RGB lighting with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs, as well as for strips and devices connected to the integrated RGB headers, and all of this can be synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
Q-LED Core
The Q-LED Core display produces bright patterns per power LED during the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which can help users troubleshoot potential issues.
SafeSlot Core+
SafeSlot Core+ is ASUS's exclusive PCIe slot, reinforced with a single-piece stainless steel bracket that shields the slot to protect it from damage.
The metal cover is tightly secured to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the PCB with reinforced solder points to provide a secure foundation for heavy graphics cards.
