💻 GIGABYTE B660M DS3H AX DDR4: Advanced Intel LGA 1700 Micro-ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0 and USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C Review

I recommend. Different pros: A great modern mother under any alderlake without an unlocked multiplier. With its cons: I didn’t really like the BIOS, it’s inconvenient to look for settings.

Has pros: Wi-Fi + Bluetooth antenna, cool thing! Two m.2 PCIe slots Free heatsink on the SSD under the processor 4 DDR slots Has cons: I had m.2 SATA, and as you understand, I screwed up. His mother does not see him. I solved the problem with a Chinese adapter. I'm waiting for the arrival of my new m.2 BIOS like this

Budget board, few connectors for case fans (only 3 of them 1 for the CPU). Mosfets cooling system - one name, one row of mosfets is closed by a radiator, the second row was "forgotten" to close. I suggest that the developers of this mother ride a car where a 4-cylinder engine is cooled only by 1 and 2 cylinders, did I understand their Jesuit logic correctly? )) If you do not engage in overclocking, then the natural heat dissipation through the board will be enough for the processor power…

This is a simple board for a budget PC, nothing more, I got it running without problems on i5 12500 and gtx 1660, but I read that there are problems with video cards, 2 4.0 slots for m.2 drives, but my old ones, and I can’t evaluate the speed , there is a connector for backlighting coolers, usb ports soldered into the board work strangely for me, movies lag from an external drive, but everything is ok from the same drive on another port, in general, for 10k a normal board for the 12th…

Some pros: Comfortable good bios Good useful software I got up without any problems, I didn’t require anything, I just ated through the Internet and that’s it. Cons below: I haven’t found it yet, except that the USB rear panel inputs are not very strong, but this is just a nitpick.

Pros below: excellent compact motherboard, the presence of 4 slots for RAM good + Cons below: it’s a pity there is no radiator on the second line of the vrm and, unfortunately, even holes for it (on the ATX version, they are)
