Micro-ATX board for 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs with DDR4 memory, PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, 2.5GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2
The GIGABYTE B660M AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 is an Intel B660 board built for 12th and 13th Gen Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It fits Micro-ATX cases and runs dual-channel DDR4 across four 288-pin slots up to 128 GB. A 12+1+1 phase 60 A DrMOS VRM and full-coverage heatsinks keep power delivery steady. Connectivity includes PCIe 4.0 x16, two M.2 sockets with PCIe 4.0 x4 support, four SATA 6 Gb/s ports, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, 2.5 GbE LAN, WIFI 6E AX211 and Bluetooth 5.2.
This board suits builders who want current-generation Intel performance while keeping existing DDR4 memory and a smaller chassis. The four DIMM slots allow up to 128 GB in dual-channel mode. Users needing more than four memory slots, an ATX form factor or a different chipset feature set should look at other models.
The highest validated memory speed listed is DDR4 5333 (O.C.), which sets the practical limit for memory kit selection. Buyers planning to run high-frequency kits should verify their chosen modules appear on the board’s qualified vendor list to ensure stability at that data rate.
