PERFORMANCE
Hybrid Digital VRM Design
8+1+1 Phases Hybrid Digital VRM Design
Cleaner and more efficient power delivery to the CPU with better thermal performance ensures stability under high CPU frequencies and heavy loading.
PCIe 4.0 Design
GIGABYTE B660 Motherboards are ready to work with the PCIe 4.0 devices which are expected to experience twice the bandwidth as the current PCIe 3.0 devices. To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide maximum performance.
DDR4 XMP
Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 4400MHz and Beyond*
GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 4400MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their GIGABYTE motherboard.
Hybrid Cores Optimization
Hybrid Cores Optimization
With new Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE exclusively creates two new " CPU Upgrade " in BIOS profiles to meet different users’ scenarios by adjusting P-Core and E-Core activation and voltage policy.

M.2 Thermal Guard
Fully Covered Thermal Design
2X Copper PCB
Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsink
2X Large Surface
The increased surface area is up to 2X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
Real One-piece Build
TMOS is a TRUE single-piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors’ multi-piece designs.
Multi-Cut Design
TMOS features several channels and inlets on the heatsink. This design allows for the airflow to go through which leads to a great improvement in the heat transfer performance.
M.2 Thermal Guard
With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high-speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.
2X Copper PCB
3% Cooler by implementing
2x copper PCB Design
Adopting 2x copper on PCB inner layer lowers the components' temperature by at least 3% by turning the PCB into a super-thin PCB size copper heatsink to dissipate the heat from the components effectively, due to its high thermal conductivity and lower impedance.

CONNECTIVITY
802.11ac WIFI+
Intel® Dual Band 802.11ac WIFI
The onboard 802.11ac WIFI module from Intel® supports Dual Band and up to 1.73Gbps, 5x faster WIFI speed than 802.11n, and also supports BLUETOOTH 5.
2.5 GbE LAN
first adopter on 2.5 GbE LAN onboard
2X Faster than ever
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
Connecting the Future - USB Type-C®
The World's Next Universal Connector
The USB Type-C® is a new reversible connector that is loaded with useful features such as USB 3.2 Gen 2 support for 10Gb/s transfer speed. Powered by the Intel® USB 3.2 Gen 2 controller, this little port provides the best USB Type-C® experience possible.
Hi-Fi Audio
High-End Audio Capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high-quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.
Audio Noise Guard
GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board’s sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.
PERSONALIZATION
RGB FUSION 2.0
B660 motherboards feature RGB FUSION 2.0 to offer lighting effected options and customized settings with outstanding aesthetics and are able to let enthusiasts build a stylish and unique gaming PC.

EASY TUNE
GIGABYTE's EasyTune™ is a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows users to fine-tune their system settings or adjust system and memory clocks and voltages in a Windows environment. With Smart Quick Boost, one-click is all it takes to automatically overclock your system, giving an added performance boost when you need it the most.
System Information Viewer
GIGABYTE System Information Viewer is a central location that gives you access to your current system status. Monitor components such as the clocks and processor set your preferred fan speed profile, create alerts when temperatures get too high or record your system's behavior; these are the possibilities of the System Information Viewer.
ULTRA-DURABLE
Q-Flash Plus
Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory, and graphics card.
With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don’t need to install the CPU, memory, and graphics card nor enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you’re good to go!
