PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as enhanced signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, & backward compatibility with previous PCIe versions. DDR4 Memory Pro Art B660-Creator D4 supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory across four slots. ASUS-exclusive Opti Mem II technology improves trace layout to significantly reduce signal distance & crosstalk, enhancing memory stability & compatibility while giving memory kits higher clock speed margins. Optimized Cooling Design Maintaining system stability under heavy loads is of paramount importance, so Pro Art B660-Creator D4 features comprehensive cooling with large VRM & chipset heatsinks that strike the right balance between surface area & mass. Integrated premium components & multiple fan headers are also vital design elements that provide the best foundation for content creation systems. Heatsinks VRM heatsinks Two VRM heatsinks are placed above the MOSFETs & chokes to further increase surface area for heat dissipation. M.2 heatsinks Two M.2 heatsinks cover three M.2 slots to keep M.2 SSDs at the optimal operating temperature for consistent performance & reliability. Chipset heatsink A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to help ensure that temperatures stay within an optimal range. Headers Cooler by Design Pro Art B660-Creator D4 features these comprehensive cooling options: Multiple temperature sources Each header can be set to monitor & react to multiple user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. All settings can be easily managed using the Fan Xpert 4 in Amoury Crate or via the UEFI. 4-pin PWM/DC fan Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans. AIO pump A dedicated PWM/DC header provides power to self-contained water-cooling setups. Smart fan protection A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from excessive heat & voltages.
