PRO B660M-E DDR4

The PRO B660M-E DDR4 is a micro‑ATX B660 chipset motherboard for Intel LGA1700 CPUs, designed for reliable mainstream desktop builds that use DDR4 memory. It brings the core B660 features—stable VRM power for modern Intel 12th and 13th‑Gen processors, PCIe lanes for a discrete GPU and fast NVMe storage, and a compact mATX footprint for smaller cases. Platform & compatibility This board supports Intel 12th Gen (Alder Lake) and 13th Gen (Raptor Lake) Core processors on the LGA1700 socket. That means you can pair it with CPUs from efficient 6‑core/12‑thread chips like the Core i5‑12400 up to high‑core 13th‑Gen parts such as the Core i7‑13700K (16 cores, 24 threads) or Core i9‑13900K (24 cores, 32 threads). Note: the B660 chipset does not enable CPU multiplier overclocking for unlocked K‑series CPUs—choose a Z690/Z790 board for full CPU overclocking—however the board does support memory XMP profiles and robust power delivery for sustained multi‑threaded loads. Memory, storage and expansion The PRO B660M‑E DDR4 uses dual‑channel DDR4 memory (4 DIMM slots) and supports up to 128GB of RAM, with official JEDEC support around DDR4‑3200 and vendor firmware/XMP support for higher DDR4 frequencies depending on your kit. For storage it offers NVMe M.2 slots with at least one PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot for Gen4 SSDs (excellent for OS and scratch drives), plus multiple SATA 6Gb/s ports for bulk storage. Expansion includes a full‑length PCIe x16 slot for a GPU (PCIe version exposed depends on CPU and board revision) and additional PCIe x1 slots for capture cards or add‑ons.
