cranky –
I am not actually using this board, read why at the end of this ‘preview’. Thus, this is only a guide to the layout and usability of the motherboard.
The H670 offers 4 more PCIe 4 lanes than the B660, plus some extra USB ports and SATA ports. In this motherboard Asus chose to not expose the additional SATA connectors, probably due to cost considerations. Also missing is the front USB 3.1 connector, replaced with a second front USB 3 connector. This would be useful if you want a few extra ports at the back with a bracket (not supplied). As it is the 8 rear ports is quite generous.
The extra PCIe 4 lanes are available on a full length x16 socket, and would be handy to add TB expansion. However since TB cards require a USB 2.0 connection as well, Asus lopped off one USB port from the headers so you get 3 USB ports instead of 4, and this connection is a little dicey to make because only half the connector is present on the PCB, and looks a bit discombobulated.
This motherboard lacks any heatsinking over the SoC VRM, and the little heatsink on the VRMs is unlikely to help much with VRM temperatures. Likely my i5-12500 would have been close to the limit of what the VRM can handle. Since the board never powered up, I’ll never actually know. The first SSD slot has a heatsink, which has captive screws, and this is what will cause your early death due to stress. Since you can’t see the holes you’ll never be able to align the screws correctly, and the thermal pad sticks to the SSD, causing it to move around in its socket while you are hunting for the thread. I did a test mount and noped out in two minutes. I guess I’m lucky I received a dead board, and whatever I actually end up buying, it’s not going to be an Asus unless they have a different system for SSD heatsinks, or even none at all.
My board arrived completely bent and with the packaging destroyed, like a very rotund person had sat on it. It has probably happened at some earlier point in time, so the seller marked the price down and sold it as non-returnable. I had purchased multiple items from this seller (guess who?) since Amazon started in India, and did not expect such duplicitous behaviour. The HDMI socket and some of the components were unbelievably damaged.
Thankfully, Amazon did eventually process a refund and I will use the board for desoldering practice.
