ASRock B660M-C Intel motherboard

Socket LGA 1700 Micro ATX motherboard

The ASRock B660M-C is a Micro ATX board built around the Intel B660 chipset for LGA 1700 processors. It supports 12th, 13th and 14th Generation Intel Core CPUs and uses a 7 phase power design with Dr. MOS components. Four DDR4 slots provide dual channel memory up to 128 GB at speeds reaching 5333 MHz when overclocked. The layout includes one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots for expansion.

Builders who need PCIe 4.0 storage

This board suits users who want two Hyper M.2 slots wired for PCIe Gen 4 x4 alongside eight SATA3 ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 support. Onboard Intel Gigabit LAN and Intel 802.11ac Wi-Fi with Bluetooth handle wired and wireless connectivity. Realtek ALC897 7.1 channel audio with Nahimic processing covers sound. Buyers who require more than two M.2 slots or additional high speed PCIe lanes for multiple graphics cards should consider a different platform.

Dual channel DDR4 up to 5333 MHz OC

The memory subsystem is the key specification for matching this board to a build. Four slots run dual channel DDR4 with a maximum overclocked frequency of 5333 MHz and a total capacity limit of 128 GB. This determines which processor memory controllers can reach their rated speeds and how much RAM the system can hold.
