TUF GAMING B660-PLUS WIFI D4
Intel B660 (LGA 1700) ATX motherboard with PCIe 5.0 slot, three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, 10+1 DrMOS, Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet, DisplayPort, HDMI, front USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, Aura Sync
Intel LGA 1700 socket: Ready for 12th Gen Intel processors Enhanced power solution: 10+1 DrMOS power stages, six-layer PCB, 8+4 ProCool sockets, military-grade TUF 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 4 utility Latest connectivity: PCIe 5.0 slot, PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, rear USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C, front panel header for USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Thunderbolt 4 support Made for online gaming: Intel WiFi 6, Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet, TUF LANGuard Two-way AI Noise-Cancelation: Reduces background noise from the microphone and audio output for crystal-clear communication in games or video conferences
DrMOS
The onboard VRMs feature 10+1 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 12th Gen Intel Core processors demand.The power stages are each rated to handle 50 amperes to provide stable performance for current and future Intel processors.
Cooler by design
1. Enlarged VRM heatsink
The extensive surface area of the massive heatsink covers the VRMs and chokes to improve heat dissipation.
2. Enlarged PCH heatsink
An expanded surface area for the chipset cooler maximizes performance and heat dissipation.
3. Three M.2 slots with heatsinks
Three out of four M.2 slots have dedicated heatsinks, keeping M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
DDR4 OC 5333
Improvements to trace routing design provide the latest Intel processors with enhanced access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce path distance, and it adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.
PCIe 5.0
The 12th Gen Intel processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to the market. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, 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
Three PCIe 4.0 M.2
The three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to two 22110 devices and also provide NVMe SSD RAID support for incredible performance potential. Create a RAID configuration with up to Three PCIe 4.0 storage devices to enjoy the fastest data transfer speeds.
USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C
Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of peripherals. TUF GAMING B660-PLUS WIFI D4 includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port on the rear I/O panel that delivers increased bandwidth and transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
Thunderbolt 4 Support
TUF GAMING B660 series features Thunderbolt 4 support via an on-board header. With an Intel-certified ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 add-on card* TUF GAMING B660-PLUS WIFI D4 can also enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to an 8K resolution display. It can also provide up to 100 watts of power to fast-charge devices.
Intel WiFi 6
The Intel WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it’s optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6. The WiFi antenna designs with four-way positioning that enables better signal reception, and a magnetic base to secure the antenna on the top or side of the PC case.
Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation
This powerful ASUS-exclusive utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are removed so you can hear and be heard with perfect clarity while gaming or during calls.
Four DDR4 slots support up to 128GB of total RAM, ensuring the system runs without annoying slowing down, leverages the full memory potential with ASUS OptiMem II
With chipset, VRM and M.2 heatsinks one can enjoy long gaming sessions, pair it with an ASUS AiO cooling system, and overheating will be just a memory
