Colorful has introduced the new CVN B660I GAMING FROZEN and CVN B660I GAMING mini-ITX motherboards as the latest expansion to the CVN Series motherboards for the 12th generation Intel Core processors. The GAMING FROZEN motherboard features a white PCB from front to back, complemented with silver CVN cooling armor heatsinks.
The CVN B660I motherboards are perfect for small-form-factor PC enthusiasts seeking a compact powerhouse. The mini-ITX motherboard sports an 8+1 Dr MOS power phase design and two DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 64GB dual-channel capacity, and up to DDR4-4600 (OC) frequency. The motherboard features dual M.2 slots (PCIe 4.0 + PCIe 3.0), supporting up to two NVMe SSDs for storage.
Both the CVN B660I GAMING FROZEN and CVN B660I GAMING motherboards come with two M.2 slots. At the front is a PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 2280 slot with CVN Cooling Armor. At the back is a PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 slot for PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSDs.
The Z690 and B660 Series feature a recently redesigned BIOS user interface (UI). Quick overclocking features can now be found in one tab. For advanced users, advanced overclocking modes and tweaks are also found under the Advanced tab. Monitoring, Fan Profile, Smart Fan Control, and general hardware info are organized on the BIOS homepage.
The CVN B660I GAMING FROZEN is fitted with 2.5 GbE port and Wi-Fi 6 for fast wired and wireless connection. The motherboards also come with a USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C port that the rear I/O along with four USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.2 ports. The motherboards also have a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C header for USB-C ports of the desktop chassis.
