Power Design

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 14^th, 13^th & 12^th Gen Intel^® Core™ processors demand.

Six-Layer PCB Design

Multiple PCB layers optimize heat management for critical components, providing more headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds.

ProCool Connectors

Enhanced EATX 8-Pin and 4-Pin Connectors

・ Provide extreme durability
・ Prevent hotspots and connector failure

Compared to traditional power inputs, ASUS ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure full contact with PSU power cables. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and connector failure.

Enhanced connectors increase power delivery by 42%.

TUF Components

TUF Chokes

Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-solid power to the CPU, improving system stability.

TUF Capacitors

Proprietary capacitors provide up to 52% wider temperature tolerance and 2.5X-longer lifespan.

Enhanced up to 52% temperature tolerance compared to standard capacitors.

Digi+ VRM

The integrated Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, optimized for ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.

COOLING

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. Flexible M.2 Heatsink

TUF GAMING B660M Series have flexible M.2 heatsink to use one more M.2 slot and keep the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

Comprehensive Fan Controls

TUF GAMING B660M series motherboards feature comprehensive fan controls that can be configured via the Fan Xpert 2+ utility or the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.

Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 2+ or via the UEFI.
An integrated AIO system enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, making it perfect for custom or self-contained cooling setups.
All onboard chassis fan headers support auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from excess heat and electrical currents.

MEMORY & STORAGE

DRAM Overclocking Performance

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.

Two PCIe 4.0 M.2

The two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to two 2280 devices and the data-transfer speeds are up to 64 Gbps via PCIe® 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

Compared with PCIe 3.0x4, PCIe 4.0x4 provides two times performance.

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

CONNECTIVITY

PCIe 5.0

The 14^th Gen Intel^® Core™ 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

Front USB Port

A full complement of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C® connector that provides data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C^®

Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of peripherals. TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS D4 includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® port on the rear I/O panel that delivers increased bandwidth and transmission speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

TUF PROTECTION

SafeSlot & SafeDIMM

PCIe 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe 4.0, so we adapted our SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot, to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed. Meanwhile, strong ASUS SafeDIMM sheathes support and protect memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, empowering you to insert your modules with speed, accuracy and confidence.

ESD Guards

ESD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10 kV of air discharge and +/- 6 kV of contact discharge — greatly surpassing the respective industry standards of +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV. Surface-mounted TVS diodes in a dual in-line package help protect your PC from voltage spikes.
