simplify IT operations and improve productivity with a
comprehensive control and easy-to-use features. ASUS Control Center
Express is compatible with over 100 ASUS motherboards to provide a
High quality, total cost of ownership optimized solution
for your business needs.
Securely manage all endpoints
Securely manage endpoint configuration,
Access to portable storage and PC software applications
allowing them to create grouping rules on individual devices
Flexible air and liquid cooling controls
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over
fans, water pumps and all-in-one (AiO) coolers. Whether
Whether air- or water-cooled, an auto-tuning mode configures the
intelligently all parameters with one click. There is also a mode
Extreme Quiet which reduces all fan speeds by
below the default minimum to keep your system quiet
when performing light tasks. Fans, water pumps and
AiO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
Precise digital power control
The Digi+ voltage regulator module (VRM) provides real-time control
real on voltage drop, automatically switching the
frequency and energy efficiency settings. It also allows you to
tune your CPU for maximum stability and performance.
Quick and easy setup
EZ Mode displays vital settings and statistics and also
offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and the
One-click application of important settings, all for
help you get your equipment up and running in no time.
UEFI BIOS
The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to
configure, modify and adjust your system. It offers options
cleverly simplified for PC beginners as well as
comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.
Intuitive graphical fan control
Adjust individual fan settings by simply dragging a curve with your mouse.
M.2 Heatsink
The M.2 heatsink prevents throttling that can occur with
M.2 storage during sustained transfers. The
Heat sink is held in place by captive screws.
VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pad
VRM heatsink and thermal pad improve the
heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better
cooling performance.
Smart protection
A dedicated IC protects each fan header against overheating and overcurrent.
4-pin PWM/DC fan
Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
ProCool connector
Proprietary connector increases the link from motherboard to PSU with
an 8 pin connector that passes 12 volts of power directly to
processors. Each connector features solid pins that can be
handle more current than hollow pin connectors.
DDR4 5333 (OC)
Improvements in tracking routing design provide the
latest Intel processors better access to the bandwidth of the
memory. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory paths
memory signal across different layers of PCB to reduce the
route distance and adds protection zones that reduce
significantly crosstalk.
ASUS OptiMemII
Motherboard Trace Routing Reviews
give the latest Intel processors unrestricted access to the
memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology maps
carefully routes memory signal through different
PCB layers to reduce vias and add protection zones that
significantly reduce crosstalk.
Two M.2 slots (up to 64Gbps)
PRIME B660M-A D4-CSM offers a total of two M.2 slots that support
Data transfer speeds of up to 64Gbps via PCIe®
4.0, allowing for faster application loading and boot times
fast with operating system units or applications.
PCIe® 4.0 slot
Prime B660 motherboards are specifically designed for the
13th and 12th Gen Intel® Core™ CPUs and offer PCIe® connectivity
4.0 for the latest GPUs. The high bandwidth and speeds of
Ultra-fast streaming allows you to create rich compilations
functions that can handle large loads effortlessly.
USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C®
Numerous USB ports support high-end equipment loaded with
peripherals, including front USB Type-C ® connectors with USB 3.2
Fast Gen 1 for transmission speeds of up to 5 Gbps.
Gen 2 Addressable Headers
Three addressable Gen 2 headers are capable of detecting the
number of LEDs in second-party addressable RGB devices
generation, allowing the software to automatically adapt the
lighting effects to specific devices. The new
Headers also offer backward compatibility with the
existing Aura RGB equipment.
