MSI PRO B660M-E DDR4 Review
The MicroATX-size B660M Mortar WIFI DDR4 includes everything most users need, just in a smaller package at a cheaper price. Features include two M.2 sockets, six SATA ports, a 20 Gbps USB Type-C port, capable power delivery, high-quality audio and more. All B660 motherboards use a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for the graphics card. If you want PCIe 5.0 support on these MSI boards, you’ll have to move to the H670 Tomahawk WIFI DDR4. Although I would like to see PCIe 5.0 on the graphics side, the reality is that it simply isn’t needed and won’t be for at least another couple of generations.
As far as performance goes, the B660M Mortar DDR4 did well overall, mixing it up with the other DDR4 boards we’ve tested lately. It was slower in the Procyon Office suite, but otherwise just as performant as the rest. Gaming results were also spot on. In short, there’s nothing out of the ordinary, nothing noticeably slower or faster than the rest. It ran our DDR4 3600 and DDR4 4000 sticks by enabling XMP, no additional tweaking required. The Mortar was able to extract everything out of the processor during at stock settings in our testing.
