sorted byOn paper, the new board boasts up to DDR4 5333(O.C.) support compared to DDR4 4400(O.C.) on the earlier B660. It's not obvious at first but you won't be able to access these high DDR4 speeds unless you have a "K" class CPU installed. These overclocking CPUs allow you to adjust VCCSA voltage, whereas non "K" class CPUs don't. Without this adjustment, the memory controller craps out around 3466-3600 depending on the silicon quality. Of course, it's a strange move to install a "K" class CPU in a B660/B760 mobo as you can't overclock the CPU, but that's the only way to attain high DDR4 speeds on this chipset. If you want both memory overclocking and CPU overclocking then look to the more expensive Z690/Z790 chipset boards.
The only other difference I can see between the old and new board is that the primary M.2 slot and the PCI-E 4.0 x16 slot have a new "EZ-Latch" system that helps make it easier to secure the main M.2 drive and uninstall the GPU.
If you're just wanting to run a non-overclocking CPU with a regular set of DDR4 then this board will deliver the goods with no fuss.
A very solid option for a mid-range gaming system or workstation.
It’s a decent option if you’re currently on an older gen DDR4 build, you could pair this with a 13400f for around £300, use your existing RAM, sell old mobo/cpu and potentially have a big upgrade for a small cost.
Going DDR5 means around £60 more on mobo of equivalent spec , potentially £120+ on RAM if going 32GB.
If you’re not on a budget DDR5 is the better option, but everyone’s situation is different. (edited)
