Enhance your business with a 12th generation Intel computer system using the Pro B660M-C D4-CSM Micro-ATX Motherboard from ASUS. Powered by the Intel B660 chipset, this motherboard supports twelfth-generation Intel processors with the LGA 1700 socket. Designed to deliver enterprise-class performance in a compact form factor, this micro-ATX motherboard takes advantage of the PCIe 4.0's data bandwidth to deliver high performance for demanding tasks such as 3D rendering, video editing, and more. Up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory, reaching 5000 MHz when overclocked, can be installed across the four memory slots. The Pro B660M-C supports up to two M.2 SSDs and four SATA III storage drives, which can be put into RAID 0, 1, or 10 configurations for your enterprise storage needs. The PCIe 4.0 x16 slot can accommodate a high-end graphics card while the two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots are available for compatible expansion cards. Take advantage of the 12th generation Intel integrated graphics by connecting up to three monitors to the motherboard's HDMI, DisplayPort, and D-Sub ports.
Connect peripherals such as keyboards and mice to the rear panel's USB 2.0 ports while using the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports for transferring data from compatible devices up to 10 Gb/s. Additionally, users can take advantage of the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port for 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds on compatible devices. Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit is required to take advantage of this motherboard's features.
This business motherboard is specially designed for the 12th Gen Intel Core processors and offers PCIe 4.0 connectivity for storage devices and graphics cards. Wide bandwidth and fast transmission speeds empower you to create feature-rich builds that deliver optimal performance wherever it's needed.
ASUS Self-Recovering BIOS
ASUS-exclusive BIOS protection technology automatically recovers the system BIOS with a verified backup in the event of an update failure, preventing the need to replace or reinstall hardware. With ASUS self-recovering BIOS, the user simply needs to reboot the system and ASUS self-recovering BIOS will restore the latest BIOS update.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Hardware-based security offers better data protection, enhances network security, protects digital identities and ensures platform integrity.
Certified NIST SP 800-147
ASUS Business motherboards are certified by the national computer security standards.
ASUS business motherboard is set to check the firmware and signature of each piece of boot software.
An innovative moisture-resistant coating protects the motherboard in humid environments, such as factories, libraries, data centers, and internet cafes. IT also minimizes internal corrosion by preventing adhesion and migration of moisture, prolonging the life of the motherboard.
Anti-sulfur resistors with a high-grade ceramic construction allow the motherboard to be operated in harsh environments.
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel back I/O panels bonded with chromium oxide have a lifespan that's three times longer than ordinary panels.
An exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators protects your chipset, connectivity ports, and audio codecs from damage caused by unexpected high-level voltages from unstable or inferior power supplies.
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
ASUS ESD Guards prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, up to +/- 10kV for air discharge and +/-15kV for contact discharge, arranged in an active-protective-circuit design that prolongs the life of components.
ASUS LANGuard is hardware-level networking protection that employs signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors ensuring a more reliable connection and better throughput, plus electrostatically guarded and surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity and improved protection against surges.
Optimized for twenty-four seven operations, the motherboard is tested at temperatures up to 45°C and relative humidity up to 80% to ensure this motherboard can handle the diverse temperature and humidity ranges of different locations.
Make IT work more efficiently with the ASUS Management Suite which gives your IT staff a built-in event log that enables easier troubleshooting by capturing useful system information including BIOS updates, AC power loss status, real-time-clock (RTC) reset, a record of when the chassis is opened, logging hardware changes, and hardware status.
The ASUS Commercial BIOS Kit provides your business with the BIOS Value Edit Tool, allowing you to customize BIOS options such as creating a customized boot logo, adding or removing OEM activation keys, adding company branded information to the BIOS, and providing access to the Intel Management Engine Driver, allowing you to update the management engine without flashing the BIOS.
The onboard SMBUS header connects to a DASH LAN card (sold separately) for remote IT management. DASH is a desktop and mobile architecture system hardware that allows the motherboard to be managed via the network.
The Q-LED Core display produces light patterns on the power LED during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) that can help users troubleshoot potential issues.
This 6-1 pin COM debug header allows for faster and more efficient motherboard troubleshooting. IT administrators can view error and debugging codes to get a better idea of initialization and recovery processes when connecting to a debug card (sold separately).
All USB headers are box style, enabling fast connector installation and preventing pin damage.
Fixed-Position Connectors
Connector positions on ASUS Business motherboards remain consistent across product generations, protecting training, manufacturing, and investments in supporting hardware.
ASUS Control Center Express
ASUS Control Center Express is a real-time IT monitoring and management tool designed for business that improves productivity and enhances security, helping prevent unauthorized access and data leaks. The intuitive dashboard enables easy, real-time hardware and software management across your organization. Purchase of a Pro motherboard entitles you to a copy of Control Center Express.
ASUS Control Center Express allows your business to optimize IT endpoint management by assisting IT staff in monitoring and controlling devices within their corporate networks, and facilitate inventory checking in multiple locations remotely. The Control Center Express allows businesses to Automate their IT maintenance, giving IT departments the ability to schedule automatic updates of the latest motherboard BIOS, software, and utilities to specific or all devices at off-peak times, enhancing system stability and IT operational flexibility. Additionally, the ASUS Control Center Express helps you securely manage endpoint configuration, granting portable storage access and PC software applications by enabling them to create grouping rules on individual devices.
