Features
Unparalleled Performance
With technology moving so fast, GIGABYTE still keep up with the latest trends and provide our customers with advanced features and latest technology. GIGABYTE B660 Series motherboards come with upgraded power solution, latest storage standards and outstanding connectivity to enable optimize performance for gaming.
Direct Digital VRM Design
To ensure maximum Turbo Boost and performance of Intel's new generation CPU, GIGABYTE B660 series equip the best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components.
Single 32GB Support
The maximum memory capacity on the B660 motherboard is 64 GB. After Intel updated the memory reference code, a single slot can support up to 32GB. Therefore with populated 2 DIMM per channel on both channel, total memory capacity is 64GB, which was only available on High End Desktop (HEDT) platforms. For users who always run out of memory capacity, there is more bandwidth now for memory-intensive application such as rendering and video editing.
PCIe 4.0 x4 M2 SSD Support
AORUS motherboards offer the industry's best compatibility in terms of NVMe storage for users who demand high capacity and seek the best performance. Upgrade with the latest 2nd generation Gen4 SSD, the performance is up to 7000MB/s which is up to 2x faster than PCIe3.0 SSD.
Hybrid Cores Optimization
With new Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE exclusively creates two new "CPU Upgrade" in BIOS profiles to meet different users’ scenarios by adjusting P-Core and E-Core activation and voltage policy.
ADVANCED THERMAL SOLUTION
GIGABYTE B660 Series Motherboards' Un-throttled performance is guaranteed by innovative and optimized thermal design to ensure the best CPU, Chipset, SSD stability and low temperatures under full load application and gaming.
3% Cooler by implementing 2X Copper PCB Design
By adopting 2X copper on PCB inner layer, it lowers the components' temperature at least 3% by turning the PCB into a super thin PCB size copper heatsink to dissipate the heat from the components effectively, due to it's high thermal conductivity and lower impedance.
Smart Fan 6
Gigabyte's Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface.
- High Current Support
Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection - Precision Control
7 temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve - Dual Curve Mode
Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario - Fan Stop
Fan can stop completely below users' specified temperature point
CONNECTIVITY
GIGABYTE B660 Series Motherboards let you experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speed with next generation network, storage, and WIFI connectivity.
First adopter on 2.5GbE LAN onboard: Over 2X Faster
- Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, over 2X faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience
- Supports Multi-Gig (10/100/1000/2500Mbps) RJ-45 Ethernet connections
WIFI 6 802.11ax + BT 5 Module
Wireless solution 802.11ax WIFI 6 with new dedicated 6GHz band, enables gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, few dropped connections and speeds up to 2.4Gbps*. Moreover, Bluetooth 5 provides 4X range over BT 4.2 and with faster transmission.
Benefit of WIFI 6 Wireless:
- 5.5x throughput than 802.11ac 1x1
- 4x better network capacity, no traffic jams especially in those dense area with lots of devices
- Network efficiency increase for better user experience
HDMI 2.0 for 4K UHD Display and HDCP 2.2 Supported
HDMI 2.0, which is backwards compatible with HDMI 1.4, offers 18 Gb/s of bandwidth – nearly twice that of the previous generation. This unlocks the potential for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic 21:9 ratio (which most movies are shot in), offering the best visual experience for viewers.
USB Type-C® Front Panel Connector
Equipped with next generation connectivity AORUS Motherboards already support the chassis of the future. The onboard USB Type-C® header for USB 3.2 Gen 1 makes access convenient when connecting a USB 3.2 Gen 1 drive or charging your new mobile device.
