Product Description

Description

Build a compact system with the B660M DS3H DDR4 LGA 1700 Micro-ATX Motherboard from GIGABYTE. Whether you are building a gaming system, or just looking to get some work done with a small form factor, the B660 DS3H gives you the utility typically found within larger motherboards.

Built around the B660 Chipset, this motherboard features the LGA 1700 CPU socket, four DDR4 RAM slots, four SATA III ports, and two M.2 M-Key interfaces, all working together to enhance your system’s performance. One PCIe 4.0 x16 and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots allow you to equip your system with graphics and utility cards. USB 3.2 Gen 2 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 support allows you to connect various resource-heavy peripherals such as external drives, audio interfaces, and webcams. Additional USB 2.0 ports allow you to connect low-powered devices such as keyboards and mice. Connect to your network with the 2.5 GbE Ethernet port for a fast wired connection.

Performance Features

6+2+1 Phase Power Design

The hybrid digital VRM design brings cleaner and more efficient power delivery to the CPU with better thermal performance to ensure stability under high CPU frequencies and heavy loading. Solid capacitors improve transient response and minimize oscillation.

PCIe 4.0 Design

The GIGABYTE B660M DS3H is ready to work with PCIe 4.0 devices which are expected to experience twice the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 devices. To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses the low-impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance to the PCIe 4.0 slots.

DDR4 XMP

GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with memory profiles up to 5333 MHz 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 the motherboard.

Hybrid Cores Optimization

With the Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE created two new “CPU Upgrade” in BIOS profiles to meet different user’s scenarios by adjusting the P-Core and E-Core activation and voltage policy.

2X PCIe 4.0 M.2 Slots

GIGABYTE brings M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize their systems’ potential. The PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot supports up to 64 Gb/s bandwidth while the 2nd Gen PCIe 4.0 SSD supports NVMe SSD read speeds up to 7000 Mb/s.

Thermal Performance

M.2 Thermal Guard

Designed 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.

Smart Fan 6

Smart Fan 6 contains several cooling features that ensure gaming PCs maintain their 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. Each fan header supports PWM and DC fan and Water cooling pumps, and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection.

Featuring the Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI, the fan curve can be quickly switched with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenarios. Slope is a traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve, while with the newly added Stair non-linear mode keeps the fans at the same speed between specified temperature intervals. For advanced users, there is manual fan speed input for more precise control of the fans.

With EZ Tuning, users can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed intervals, and Smart Fan 6 will quickly generate a fan curve. Fan curve profiles can be saved in the BIOS ROM, and the profile will be kept after updating the BIOS.

Featuring an Intelligent Fan Control Design, users can achieve fan silence. Map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold and control which fan stops and at what temperature based on readings from specific sensors.

Connectivity

2.5 GbE Lan

This motherboard features a 2.5G LAN port which provides up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least 2 times faster transfer speed compared to general 1 GbE networking, designed for gamers who are looking for the ultimate online gaming experience.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C

USB Type-C is a reversible connector that is loaded with useful features such as USB 3.2 Gen 2 support for 10 Gb/s transfer speeds. Powered by the Intel USB 3.2 Gen 2 controller, this little port provides the best USB Type-C experience possible.

HDMI 2.0 for 4K UHD Display and HDCP 2.2 Support

HDMI 2.0, which is backwards compatible with HDMI 1.4, offers 18 Gb/s of bandwidth. This unlocks the potential for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic 21:9 ratio, offering the best cinematic visual experience for viewers.

Hi-Fi Audio

GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end capacitors to help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers. Additionally, GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that separates the board’s sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.

Durability

Solid Pin Power Connectors

The B660M features solid plated ATX 12V 8 pin power connectors to offer a stable power supply during CPU overloading. The advantages of solid pin power connectors are a larger contact area for electricity, a higher metal quantity to sustain higher power and generated heat, and a more durable construction with a longer lifespan.

Customizability

RGB Fusion

GIGABYTE B660 motherboards feature RGB Fusion 2.0 to offer lighting effect options and customized settings with outstanding aesthetics, allowing enthusiasts to build a stylish and unique system.

Refreshed BIOS

BIOS is essential for users during the initial setup to allow for the most optimal settings. With a new GUI and easier to use functionalities, GIGABYTE has been able to reinvent the BIOS to give users a better experience while setting up their new system.

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.
