Verdict

The ASRock B660M-HDVP/D5 is a micro-ATX motherboard designed for 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors on the LGA1700 socket, notably featuring two DDR5 DIMM slots with support for up to 96GB of memory and XMP 3.0. Its core specifications include an Intel B660 chipset, a 5-phase power design, one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, and a versatile quad-monitor output via HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, DVI-D, and D-Sub. Storage is handled by four SATA3 connectors and one Ultra M.2 slot (PCIe Gen3x4 & SATA3), while connectivity is rounded out by Realtek Gigabit LAN and a legacy PCI slot for older expansion cards. Main pros include its support for modern DDR5 memory at an entry-level price point, a broad range of legacy and modern video outputs, and specialized protection circuits for DDR5 modules. However, notable cons include its limited 5-phase power delivery which can cause VRM throttling with high-TDP CPUs like the i7 or i9, a lack of built-in Wi-Fi or USB-C ports on the rear I/O, and the M.2 slot being limited to Gen3 speeds rather than the faster Gen4 standard found on many other B660 boards.
