Our engineers designed the ASUS Prime series to harness the full potential of 12th Gen Intel® processors. Equipped with a powerful power design, comprehensive cooling solutions, and intelligent tuning options, the Prime B660 series includes intuitive performance tuning options for DIY enthusiasts.
VERSATILITY
ASUS Prime series motherboards come with a wealth of controls. Prime B660 motherboards come with options that help you customize and fine-tune every aspect of your system so you can work your way, get peak performance, and be as productive as possible.
Overall energy efficiency
The EPU (Energy Processing Unit) reduces the power consumption of the computer. Away mode is a power-saving setting that disables the I/O controllers when they are not in use.
UEFI BIOS
Our award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS has everything you need to configure and tune your system. It includes intelligently simplified options for DIY beginners and comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.
Advanced settings for experienced users
UEFI Advanced Mode lets you take full control of your PC. Search makes it easy to find what you're looking for, and advanced features let you make smart adjustments to configure performance just the way you want it.
REFRIGERATION
The Prime B660 series features multiple heatsinks and hybrid cooling headers to keep your rig stable during intense workloads.
M.2 Heatsink
The M.2 heatsink prevents M.2 drive performance from being reduced during sustained transfers. The heatsink is secured with captive screws.
Cooler design
The Prime B660 series includes comprehensive cooling controls that you can configure from Fan Xpert 2+ and the UEFI BIOS.
Multiple temperature sources
Each header can be configured to react to the 3 thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ allows temperature mapping of ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling during intensive GPU and CPU loads.
PERFORMANCE
The Prime B660 series is designed to handle the cores and bandwidth of the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. B660 motherboards feature a stable power delivery system, intuitive cooling, versatile connectivity options, and everything you need to boost your everyday productivity.
Energy supply
A stable power supply is essential to squeeze the full performance of 12th Gen Intel Core processors, and the Prime Z690-P WiFi D4 is ready to meet the demands of the new multi-core CPUs.
DDR4 memory
New motherboard circuitry allows Intel’s latest processors to access unrestricted memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory traces across different PCB layers to significantly reduce interference.
