TUF protection

SafeSlot & SafeDIMM
PCIe 5.0 is twice as fast as PCIe 4.0. That“s why we“ve optimized our SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot to ensure the highest data transfer rates. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal shroud added to a PCIe slot to securely hold a card. The robust ASUS SafeDIMM shrouds support and protect memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, allowing you to install your modules quickly, accurately, and securely.

ESD protection devices
ESD protection devices extend the lifespan of components and prevent damage from electrostatic discharges. They offer protection against air discharges up to +/- 10 kV and contact discharges up to +/- 6 kV, exceeding the relevant industry standards of +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV. Surface-mount TVS diodes in a dual inline package protect your PC from voltage spikes.

TUF LANGuard
TUF LANGuard is a military-grade innovation that incorporates advanced signal coupling technology and high-quality surface-mount capacitors to improve throughput and protect the motherboard from lightning strikes and static discharge.

DRAM overvoltage protection
Resettable fuses on board prevent damage from overcurrent and short circuits. This applies not only to the I/O ports but also to the DRAM, ensuring the longevity of your system and connected devices.

Stainless steel rear connection panel
TUF GAMING motherboards feature a corrosion-resistant stainless steel I/O shield for the rear ports, coated with chromium oxide, which lasts three times longer than conventional shields. This protective feature enabled TUF GAMING motherboards to pass the 72-hour salt spray test, while other brands only passed a 24-hour test.

SIMPLE CONFIGURATION
M.2 Q-Latch
The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without special tools. The design uses a simple locking mechanism to secure the M.2 SSD, eliminating the need for screws.

Q-LED
With the integrated Q-LED troubleshooting lights, PC builders can quickly determine whether the most important components - CPU, RAM, graphics card, drives - are functioning normally during startup.

Armoury Crate
Armoury Crate is exclusive ASUS software that gives you centralized control over supported gaming products. With Armoury Crate, you can easily customize the RGB lighting and effects for all compatible devices in your arsenal through an intuitive interface and synchronize them with Aura Sync for unified lighting effects. It also provides hardware information and settings for a select and growing number of products, such as keyboard and mouse settings, Fan Xpert 2+, and Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation, making it easier to optimize the look and feel of your system. Armoury Crate even offers its own product registration and news section to help you stay connected with the gaming community.

Immersive Gaming
The TUF GAMING B660M series motherboards offer a powerful gaming package with a long list of features designed to enhance your gaming experience. These include ultra-fast network connections for smoother online gameplay, premium positional audio for FPS games, and integrated RGB lighting that can be synchronized with connected accessories to create a personalized gaming atmosphere.

network

Intel® WiFi 6
The Intel® WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and boosts the theoretical peak bandwidth to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps even more importantly for power users, it“s optimized for more efficient operation in congested networks with high levels of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to unlock the full potential of WiFi 6. The WiFi antenna features four-way positioning for improved signal reception and a magnetic base for attaching it to the top or side of your PC case.

EXCLUSIVE 2.5-GIGABIT ETHERNET
