FLEXIBILITY

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. The Prime B660 motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximize productivity.

Intelligent Control

All-Around Energy Efficiency

The Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes energy savings with Away mode — a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers.

Flexible Air- and Liquid-Cooling Controls

ASUS Fan Xpert software provides comprehensive control over fan. There’s an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fan can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

Precise Digital Power Control

The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Advanced Tuning for Serious Tweakers

An intuitive Advanced mode offered via the UEFI lets you take complete control. A built-in search feature makes it easy to find options, and various advanced functions let you intelligently make nuanced adjustments so you can dial in performance just the way you want.

Search Function

Quickly and easily find the option or setting you need.

ASUS User Profile

Port configuration settings between different BIOS versions or share them with friends.

Quick and Simple Setup

EZ mode displays vital settings and stats and also offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings — all to help you get your rig up and running in no time.

Intuitive Graphical Fan Control

Fine-tune individual fan settings simply by dragging a curve with the mouse.

EZ XMP

Improve DRAM performance with one click.

COOLING

Prime B660 series are engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

Heatsinks

VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pad

VRM heatsink and thermal pad improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

Multiple Temperature Sources

Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

4-Pin PWM/DC Fan

The chassis fan header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

PERFORMANCE

Prime B660 series are built to handle the additional cores and increased bandwidth of 14^th, 13^th & 12^th Generation Intel^® processors. ASUS B660 motherboards provide all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible transfer options.

Power Design

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of Intel^® processors. Prime B660M-K D4 is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.

ProCool Connectors

Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.

6+1+1 Power Stages

A VRM with 6+1+1 Power Stages delivers the power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors demand.

Memory

DDR4 5333(OC)

Improvements to trace routing design provide the latest Intel processors with enhanced access to memory bandwidth. ASUS technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce path distance, and it adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

Storage

Two M.2 slots (up to 64 Gbps)

Prime B660M-K D4 offers a total of two M.2 slots that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe^® 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

* Actual transmission speeds will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

Connectivity

PCIe^® 4.0 Slot

Prime B660M-K D4 is designed specifically for 14^th, 13^th & 12^th Generation Intel^® Core^TM CPUs and offer PCIe^® 4.0 connectivity. The wide bandwidth and superfast transmission speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can handle high loads effortlessly.

Realtek 1 Gb Ethernet

Realtek 1 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfer.

Lower CPU workload

High TCP and UDP throughput
