Third-party reviews

What customers like about ASUS ROG Strix B660-F Gaming WiFi

  • High-end VRM design (16+1 power stages) capable of handling power-hungry CPUs like the i9-12900K
  • Premium features typically found on Z690 boards, including PCIe 5.0 support and high-speed DDR5 memory compatibility
  • Excellent selection of connectivity options, including WiFi 6, 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and multiple USB Type-C ports
  • User-friendly DIY features like the Q-Latch for toolless M.2 installation and a convenient GPU release button
  • Effective cooling solution with large heatsinks for both the VRMs and all three M.2 SSD slots
  • Polished aesthetic with matte black finish and customizable Aura Sync RGB lighting

What customers don't like about ASUS ROG Strix B660-F Gaming WiFi

  • Relatively high price for a B660 chipset, sometimes overlapping with entry-level Z690 motherboards
  • No support for CPU multiplier overclocking due to B660 chipset limitations
  • Limited number of SATA ports (only 4) compared to some other ATX boards
  • Reduced number of PCIe lanes compared to the Z690 chipset, which may limit high-bandwidth multi-card setups
  • DDR5-only memory support significantly increases the total system build cost compared to DDR4 alternatives
  • Lack of some premium audio outputs like an optical S/PDIF port in some configurations

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Strix B660-F Gaming WiFi is a high-end ATX motherboard designed for 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel processors on the LGA 1700 socket, featuring a robust 16+1 power stage delivery system and support for cutting-edge DDR5 memory up to 6000MHz (OC). Key specifications include a PCIe 5.0 x16 Safeslot for future GPUs, three M.2 slots (two supporting PCIe 4.0), and extensive networking with WiFi 6 and Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet. Main pros include its premium build quality, exceptional VRM thermal performance capable of handling an i9-12900K, and DIY-friendly features like the M.2 Q-Latch and pre-mounted I/O shield. However, its main cons include a lack of traditional CPU overclocking support (limited by the B660 chipset) and fewer SATA ports compared to some alternatives, with a price point that often nears entry-level Z690 territory.
