Hybrid Cores Optimization
1. PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot
2. PCIe 4.0 x16 slot
3. Low Signal Loss PCB
GIGABYTE B660 Motherboards are ready to work with the PCIe 4.0 devices which are expected to experience triple bandwidth than 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 the maximum performance.
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.

Support for DDR5 XMP Up to 5800MHz and Beyond*
AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with
profiles up to
5800MHz 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.
Please see the complete validated memory support list. Product features may vary by

High Speed Gigabit LAN with Automatic Bandwidth Allocation
Realtek 8118 LAN is a high performance and friendly network chip for gaming players with automatic
bandwidth allocation to
ensure the highest network priority of the game or application. It can provide users the most
comprehensive
features and the fastest and smoothest Internet experience.
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 support BLUETOOTH 5.
Connecting the Future - USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C®
Featuring the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 design which is doubled the performance than previous generation of USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works up to 20Gbps ultra-fast data transfer while connecting to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. Through the USB Type-C® connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
HDMI 2.0 for 4K UHD Display and HDCP 2.2 supported
HDMI 2.0, which is backwards compatible with HDMI 1.4, offers 18 Gb/s of bandwidth – nearly twice
that of the previous
generation. This unlocks the potential for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a
native cinematic 21:9
ratio (which most movies are shot in), offering the best visual experience for viewers.
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.

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!
Solid Pin Power Connectors
B660 motherboards feature solid plated ATX 12V 8pin power connectors to offer a stable power supply during CPU overloading.
