I believe that some time ago, when you saw the news of the twelfth generation of Core, you were very excited, because the performance of this generation of Core has far exceeded the past, even the i5 12600K can exceed the performance of the previous generation i9 11900K. But when everyone rushed to open the APP ready to place an order, they found that the motherboard used to match the twelfth generation Core was too expensive, and only the Z690 series of high-end motherboards could be selected before, and the price of many motherboards even exceeded the CPU, so that many players chose to do and so on, waiting for the release of the low-end motherboard.
Now, with the release of a series of B660 motherboards, there are more options for pairing with the twelfth generation Core. Among them, gigabyte snow sculpture B660M is a mid-range motherboard that is both cost-effective and luxurious enough in terms of expansion and power supply, and it is also the protagonist we want to talk about today.
Unlike before, players now like to make the chassis very cool, and the motherboard must not only be practical but also good-looking. Gigabyte Snow Sculpture B660M design I like very much, the entire motherboard uses black gray, but several of the heat dissipation armor are all used in bright silver, such a visual impact is very strong, especially suitable for light-colored chassis. And these armors not only bring higher appearance, but also can quickly discharge the heat of SSDs, south bridges, and MOS tubes, ensuring that the entire machine is always in a state that can be released with full blood.
The network configuration of the motherboard is a place that many players often ignore, I have seen someone buy back the motherboard only to find that there is no WIFI, and as a result, they have to buy an additional PCIe network card, and because the network card occupies the PCIe channel, the SSD can only run to half speed. Gigabyte Snow Sculpture B660M is not only equipped with a limited network port of 2.5 gigabits, but also equipped with a WIFI6 wireless network card, which is even stronger than the independent network card you purchased yourself, even under the WIFI network can achieve ultra-low latency gaming experience.
Many people in judging the quality of a motherboard, often look at the motherboard chipset, size, price of this information, but if I want to say, in fact, the impact of the chipset on CPU performance is minimal, more importantly, the motherboard power supply. Gigabyte Snow Sculpture B660M uses 12+1+1 phase power supply to surprise me a little, because it is rare to see such a high-specification luxury power supply in the same level of motherboard, even compared to the flagship high-end motherboard, so whether it is i5 12400F or i9 12900K, it can be driven from top to bottom.
In addition to these advantages, Gigabyte Snow Sculpture B660M also maintains a fairly high scalability, four SATA interfaces and two M.2 interfaces are more than enough for most players, and these two M.2 interfaces are all PCIe4.0*4 rates, as long as your hard disk is strong enough, it can even run to speeds close to 8GB/S. So no matter from which aspect, GIGABYTE Snow Sculpture B660M is a motherboard with excellent performance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "bucket board" in the motherboard industry. If you are a player who is ready to change to the 12th generation of Core, then this motherboard will definitely be on the purchase list.
