Gigabyte B660I AORUS PRO DDR4 (Socket LGA1700) Mini ITX Motherboard

Product Information

Along the right edge of the board are several headers and connectors. From the top-down, we run into the 24-pin ATX connector to power the board, the system panel header, a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-C connector and a USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps) header. Just below that are four vertically oriented SATA ports that support RAID0/1/5/10 modes.

Along the right edge, working our way down, we run into the 24-pin ATX connector to power the board, plus four SATA ports (supporting RAID0/1/5/10 with sharing). Below this are two USB headers, a Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-C and Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Type-A. Disappointingly, this board does not have a 20 Gbps port as its lower-prieced competitors do. Also in this area is a 4-pin RGB header for additional RGB lighting. Below that is the front panel header, along with a USB 2.0 header. Industry-leading Gaming Audio: SupremeFX S1220A codec with Savitech SV3H712 amplifier, along with Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, DTS ® Sound Unbound™ and Sonic Studio III Starting with the launch of the Z690 chipset, we’ve updated our game tests, updating to Far Cry 6 and shifting from F1 2020 to F1 2021. We run the games at 1920x1080 resolution using the Ultra preset (details listed above). As the resolution goes up, the CPU tends to have less impact. The goal with these settings is to determine if there are differences in performance at the most commonly used resolution with settings most people use or at least strive for. We expect the difference between boards in these tests to be minor, with most falling within the margin of error differences. We’ve also added a minimum FPS value, as that can affect your gameplay and immersion experience.A dedicated circuit on the motherboard safely circumvents DDR5 memory PMIC restrictions, allowing you to step past the default 1.1-volt limit and push frequency and timings to the max. Optimal Power Solution: 8+1 power stages with ProCool power connectors, high-quality alloy chokes and durable capacitors to support multi-core processors Wireless solution 802.11ax WIFI 6 with new dedicated 6GHz band, enables gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, few dropped connections and speeds up to 2.4Gbps*. Moreover, Bluetooth 5 provides 4X range over BT 4.2 and with faster transmission. AORUS motherboards offer the industry's best compatibility in terms of NVMe storage for users who demand high capacity and seek the best performance. Upgrade with the latest 2nd generation Gen4 SSD, the performance is up to 7000MB/s which is up to 2x faster than PCIe3.0 SSD.
