Flexible air and liquid cooling controls
ASUS Fan Xpert software provides comprehensive fan control. There’s an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces fan speeds below the default minimum to keep your system quiet when performing light tasks. The fan can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

Precise digital power control
The Digi+ Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) provides real-time control of voltage drop, automatically switches frequency and energy efficiency settings. It also allows you to tune your CPU for maximum stability and performance.

UEFI BIOS

The popular ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your system. It offers smartly streamlined options for PC novices, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Advanced tuning for serious hacking

The intuitive advanced mode offered via UEFI puts you in complete control. An integrated search feature makes it easy to find options, and various advanced functions let you intelligently make fine adjustments so you can dial in performance just the way you want it.

Quick and simple setup

EZ Mode displays vital settings and stats, and offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and a one-click application of important settings—all to help you get your device up and running in no time.

Control the fan with an intuitive graphical interface

Adjust individual fan settings simply by dragging a curve with your mouse.

cooling

The Prime B660 series is designed with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

VRM heatsink and heat pad unit

The VRM heatsink and thermal pad improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and arresters for better cooling performance.

Cooler by design

The Prime B660 Series features comprehensive cooling controls that can be configured via Fan Xpert software or via the UEFI BIOS.

Multiple temperature sources

Each connector can dynamically point to three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert lets you set the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU and CPU intensive tasks.

4-pin PWM/DC fan

The chassis fan header supports automatic detection of PWM or DC fans.

performance

The Prime B660 series is designed to handle the additional cores and increased bandwidth of 13th and 12th Generation Intel® processors. ASUS B660 motherboards provide all the essentials to boost everyday productivity, so your system will be ready to go with stable power, intuitive cooling, and flexible porting options.

power design

Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance from 13th and 12th Gen Intel processors. Prime B660M-K D4 is designed to meet the demands of high core CPUs.
