Designed primarily for gamers, enthusiasts, and content creators, the Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 LGA 1700 Micro-ATX Motherboard helps you to maximize the performance of your compact system build. Featuring the B660 chipset, this motherboard supports 12th generation Intel processors with the LGA 1700 socket in addition to PCIe 4.0 data bandwidth, delivering high performance for tasks such 3D rendering, video editing, and more. Up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, reaching 5333 MHz when overclocked, can be installed across four memory slots. The micro-ATX motherboard also features advanced cooling and supports up to two M.2 SSDs and four SATA III storage drives, which can be put into RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 configuration. Its PCIe 4.0 x16 slot can accommodate a dedicated graphics card while compatible expansions may be installed into the two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. Alternatively, the built-in HDMI and DisplayPort ports allow you to take advantage of integrated CPU graphics.
The rear panel includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port alongside three USB 3.1 Gen Type-A ports, which allow you to transfer up to 10 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s with compatible devices, respectively. Use the built-in 802.11ax Wi-Fi or 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port to connect to compatible high-speed network devices. Other features include immersive Realtek 7.1-channel surround, and you can customize your computing experience by connecting the addressable RGB headers to light strips and syncing them with other Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0-compatible peripherals using the desktop software or mobile app. Windows 10 or 11 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.
