This motherboard is part of theUltra DurablefromGigabyte. A range designed to last, with durable and proven materials. The Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 motherboard is designed for the 12th generation Intel Core processors(Intel Alder Lake-S).
Based on the Intel B660 Express chipset, the Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 motherboard will serve as the foundation for your gaming PC with a high-performance processor and Gigabyte-exclusive features like Smart Fan 6. It supports 12th generation Intel Core processors, PCI-Express 4.0 16x graphics cards, SATA 6 Gbps and M.2 PCIe 4.0 drives, DDR4 RAM as well as USB 3.0 and 3.1 devices.
The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, as they are the first to integrate a hybrid architecture. This process consists of combining two different types of cores on the same chip. The first 1, called Percormance-Cores, are dedicated to performance in games and mono-threaded applications requiring resources. The second type, called Efficient-Cores, are particularly efficient for multitasking and side task processing. The two combined mean spectacular performance and incredible responsiveness for your system.

A little downside on the motherboard concerning the fan connections, there aren't enough of them otherwise it's great thanks
I had to become the direction with very discreet or even too many indications. I had to become the direction with very discreet indications or even too much.
The price is good, the card is well organised but I was unpleasantly surprised by the connectivity with the graphics card (an RTX 3600Ti) which was not very stable. I had to play with the fixings of the card on the chassis so that it is recognized. This is not very reassuring for a card that claims to be "ultra-durable"...
Moreover, there are no screws provided to lock the SSDs on the M2 spacer
Finally, the absence of an internal USB 3.2 type C connector is a real shame (but the technical description was clear, I can only blame myself)
Good motherboard, the wifi antenna is a real plus. It is ergonomic and has a lot of connectivity. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price, and I'm very happy with the price. I am very satisfied with my purchase;
I am very pleased with my purchase, however the usb ports or the bios do not recognise my keyboard when I turn it on (except for the LEDs), I always have to plug it in again to get it recognised. I'm very happy with my purchase.
The card has 4 ram slots for a mini atx which is pretty cool
The heatsink is only on one m2, it's a shame but it's good.
A wifi antenna is delivered with it if you take the wifi6xax option it's good to know
