BIOSTAR Intros B660T-Silver Mini-ITX Motherboard
BIOSTAR today introduced the B660T-Silver, a Socket LGA1700 motherboard in the Mini-ITX form-factor, based on the Intel B660 chipset. The board wires a 12th Gen Core “Alder Lake” processor with DDR4 memory, and a PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slot. It draws power from a combination of 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS connectors, and uses a 9-phase CPU VRM. Up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory is supported, at overclocked speeds of up to DDR4-5000.
Storage connectivity of the BIOSTAR B660T-Silver includes four SATA 6 Gbps ports, and two M.2-2280 slots with PCI-Express 4.0 x4 wiring, one of which is connected to the CPU, and the other from the B660 PCH. Network connectivity includes a 2.5 GbE port driven by a Realtek RTL8125B, and provision for WLAN connectivity, including 2×2 antenna coaxial jacks, and an M.2 E-key slot with PCI-Express 3.0 x1 and USB 2.0 wiring, so you drop in your own WLAN module. 6-channel HD audio driven by a premium Realtek ALC1220 CODEC makes for the rest of it. The company didn’t reveal pricing.
