Verdict

The ASUS TUF Gaming B660-Plus WiFi D4 is a robust ATX motherboard designed for 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors on the LGA 1700 socket, featuring a 10+1 DrMOS power stage and military-grade components for long-term stability. Its key specifications include support for up to 128GB of DDR4 memory (OC up to 5333 MHz), a high-speed PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for modern GPUs, and three M.2 slots (all PCIe 4.0) for rapid NVMe storage. For connectivity, it offers integrated Intel WiFi 6, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and a rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port providing 20Gbps transfer speeds. The main pros are its excellent cooling system with enlarged VRM heatsinks, Thunderbolt 4 header support, and two-way AI noise cancellation for clear gaming communication. However, it lacks CPU overclocking support due to the B660 chipset and uses a somewhat dated Realtek ALC897 audio codec.
