ASUS ROG STRIX B660-A GAMING WIFI D4 – Tom’s Hardware

At $239.99, the Asus ROG Strix B660-A Gaming is designed for budget-conscious builders who don’t overclock their processors. It’s a well-rounded board with above-average audio for the price. Performance is good, and although the Strix is expensive among its peers, it’s a worthwhile option to build your Alder Lake-based system around.

ASUS ROG STRIX B660-F GAMING WIFI – Overclockers Russia

A medium-sized box and a handle for transportation are not required here. The exterior design is very attractive. High-quality printing, thick cardboard, and all the information on the box is explanatory. There is nothing superfluous. The background is predominantly black on the front and back, and red on the two sidewalls, which corresponds to the style of ROG. They removed the pink insert, but this does not mean that cyberpunk is gone, just a little tired of it already and I want something more calm.

On the front there is a large image of the board itself, where everything is very clearly visible, except for the rear panel connectors. In the upper left corner is the manufacturer’s logo and its familiar slogan “In search of the incredible.” In the middle is the model name TUF Gaming B660M-Plus WIFI D4. The modification is indicated in white letters. At the very bottom, almost along the edge, there is a large group of icons. In the lower right corner is the new TUF Gaming series emblem.

ASUS ROG STRIX B660-I GAMING WIFI – Overclockers Russia

You can even use a boxed cooler, and to be able to overclock the memory, you need an Intel B660 chipset. I have already tested quite a few different models on this chipset, but so far I have not come across any that support DDR5. For an ordinary person, this is not important, but there are people who definitely want everything new, and for them they made one such board in ITX performance, which is called the ASUS ROG Strix B660-I Gaming WIFI.

ASUS TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS WIFI D4 – PC Inquisitor

This is not your father’s Asus front-panel connector: While similar in shape to the one used on older boards, its divided into a now-standard Intel-style 9-pin group on the left, and a legacy PC Speaker /Chassis Intrusion / 3-pin Power LED group on the right. Above and to the left of this front-panel group are four SATA ports, two that point outward from the bottom edge and two that point forward from the front edge.

ASUS ProArt Z690-CREATOR WIFI – PC Inquisitor

Little on the hardware side to differentiates the $480 ProArt Z690 Creator WiFi from a $600 gaming motherboard such as ASRock’s previously-reviewed Taichi, but even minor interface changes are as important as the difference in price. We still start off with three x16-length slots on the surface, and the I/O panel still filled with dual networking plus Bluetooth-equipped WiFi 6E, six USB3 Type A ports, and two USB Type-C ports that are fed by Intel’s JHL8540 Thunderbolt 4 controller . The Creator’s additional Displayport throughputs for connecting discrete graphics to Thunderbolt 4 outputs merely reduces the number of cables that a few users would otherwise have strung across their desks.

ASUS ROG STRIX B660-A GAMING WIFI D4 – iXBT

Asus ROG Strix B660-A Gaming WiFi D4 is aimed at those who do not need the most powerful “hardware”, but for whom standard modern support for peripherals is important. From the use of the B660 chipset, it is clear that the board is more designed for mid-range processors. However, it works perfectly even with top-end Intel Core processors of the 12th generation. It has 15 USB ports, including 2 USB 3.2 Gen2 and one USB 3.2 Gen2×2, plus 5 USB 3.2 Gen1 ports. The board has two “long” slots – PCIe x16 and PCIe x4 – as well as two PCIe x1, 3 M.2 slots, 4 SATA ports and 6 fan connectors.

ASUS PRIME B660M-K D4 – Overclockers Russia

This time the release of the new platform was much better prepared, but the global situation will still affect the supply and assortment. We have already seen the most budget board based on the Intel H610 chipset, on the Z690 too, but on the B660 it was only for the corporate segment. One could already imagine what we would expect for normal home use, and I thought that there would be no difference. It will be a heatsinkless model, reminiscent of the inexpensive H610 board, and with the functionality of the B660 board I was looking at.
