ASUS ROG Strix B660-A Gaming WiFi DDR5 Intel motherboard

Ready for 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel B660 chipset and LGA 1700 socket to support 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It delivers 12+1 power stages with ProCool connectors, alloy chokes and durable capacitors for stable multi-core operation. Integrated I/O cover, VRM heatsinks with high-conductivity thermal pads and three onboard M.2 heatsinks manage thermals. Onboard Intel WiFi 6 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet with LANGuard handle networking.

Straightforward ATX install with Q-Latch M.2

The pre-mounted I/O shield and M.2 Q-Latch simplify fitting the board and up to three M.2 drives without screws. BIOS FlashBack updates firmware without a CPU installed, while Q-LED indicators show boot status. AI Cooling, AI Networking and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation automate fan curves, traffic prioritisation and microphone clarity. Builders who need more than three M.2 slots or a different form factor should look elsewhere.

Check DDR5 memory and CPU cooler clearance

Four DIMM slots support up to 128 GB of DDR5 at speeds from 4800 to 6000 MT/s depending on the processor and module combination. Verify that your chosen CPU cooler clears the VRM heatsink area and that your power supply provides the required EPS connectors for the 12+1 stage design. DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 outputs require a processor with integrated graphics.
