The Ultimate Force
Asus TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS D4 is a compact microATX gaming motherboard based on the mid-range B660 chipset with an Intel LGA 1700 processor socket. The board is equipped with an improved elemental base, including solid polymer capacitors, silent ferrite chokes and low-resistance MOSFET assemblies . The reliable 11-phase power subsystem is designed to work with powerful Core i5/i7 processors of the latest generations (Alder Lake, Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh).
When size doesn't matter
Despite its compact size, TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS D4 is equipped with modern features and expansion slots. Unlike the flagship ROG Strix boards, it has a less powerful power subsystem, but offers 4 slots for overclocked DDR4-5333 RAM, 2 slots for fast M.2 SSD PCI-E 4.0 drives, 2.5 Gigabit LAN port, current versions HDMI and DisplayPort and Thunderbolt support. The M.2 ports are covered with metal heat sinks, the VRM area is protected by a massive heatsink, and the video card slot is reinforced with reinforced fiber.
DDR4 or DDR5? The choice is yours
You can choose a board that supports DDR5 and pay a little more for faster, more modern memory. While DDR5 doesn't offer significant advantages over DDR4 in most gaming tests, prices for next-gen components have bounced back, with a DDR5 motherboard costing just $100 more than a comparable DDR4 motherboard.
