Description
The ASRock B660M Steel Legend is a powerful Micro-ATX motherboard for 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel processors with the LGA1700 socket. Thanks to the Intel B660 chipset and robust Steel Legend design, this motherboard is an excellent foundation for a powerful desktop or gaming PC.
With four DDR4 DIMM slots, the ASRock B660M Steel Legend supports up to 128GB DDR4 memory. For expansion cards, the motherboard features a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, while multiple M.2 slots provide support for fast PCIe NVMe SSDs. In addition, SATA 6Gb/s connectors are available for additional SSDs and hard drives.
The motherboard offers extensive connectivity options, including USB 3.2, 2.5 Gigabit LAN and high-quality audio. Thanks to the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, the integrated graphics capabilities of compatible Intel processors can also be used.
The ASRock B660M Steel Legend is therefore an excellent choice for a modern Intel system, combining PCIe 5.0, fast M.2 storage, DDR4 memory and 2.5Gb LAN with the reliable build quality of the Steel Legend series.
