Deliver Maximum Power to Power Hungry Components
TWIN HYBRID PHASES 16+1+1 Digital Power Design
SOLID PIN CONNECTORS 8+4 pin CPU Power Connector
12TH GEN INTEL CORE Processor Support
PREMIUM CHOKE AND CAPACITOR DESIGN
This B660 AORUS motherboard uses an 16+1+1 phases digital CPU power design which includes both digital PWM Controller and DrMOS. These 100% digital controller and additional 8+4 Solid-pin CPU Power Connectors offer incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboard’s most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, allowing enthusiasts to get the absolute maximum performance from the latest Intel® Core™ 12th Generation processors.
Superior Support for DDR4 XMP
SHIELDED LAYER PROTECTS FROM EXTERNAL INTERFERENCE
The maximum memory capacity on the B660 motherboard is 128GB. After Intel updated the memory reference code, a single slot can support up to 32GB. Therefore with populated 2 DIMM per channel on both channel, total memory capacity is 128GB, which was only available on High End Desktop (HEDT) platforms. For users who always run out of memory capacity, there is more bandwidth now for memory-intensive application such as rendering and video editing.
UP TO 5600MHZ AND BEYOND*
AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5600MHz 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 AORUS motherboard.
* XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module.
3 X PCIE 4.0 / 3.0 X4 M.2
AORUS Gaming Motherboards are focused on delivering M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize their Systems’ potential. Triple PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 M.2 Connectors with Thermal Guard. 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.
Advanced Thermal Design with M.2 Thermal Guard
SHIELDED LAYER PROTECTS FROM EXTERNAL INTERFERENCE
GIGABYTE B660 Series Motherboards’ Un-throttled performance is guaranteed by innovative and optimized thermal design to ensure the best CPU, Chipset, SSD stability and low temperatures under full load application and gaming. Increased surface area up to 2X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs. TMOS features several channels and inlets on the heatsink. This design allows for the air flow to go through which leads to a great improvement of the heat transfer performance. It also offers 3% Cooler by implementing 2X copper PCB Design.
A Fully Comprehensive Cooling Solution
INTELLIGENT FAN CONTROL DESIGN
Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface. With Fan Stop, map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, and at what temperature—all of it can be customized to your liking.
8 PWM/DC Fan Headers
7 Internal Temperature Sensors
2 External Temperature Sensor Cables
1 Noise Detection Cable

Durability for Years to Come
Q-FLASH PLUS
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!
STEP 1
Plug the 24-pin & 8-pin power supply cable into the motherboard.
STEP 2
Download and unzip the motherboard’s compressed BIOS file and rename to “gigabyte.bin”, save to a USB flash-drive, and plug it into the Q-Flash USB port.
STEP 3
Press the Q-Flash button, and the motherboard will start updating the BIOS automatically.
