With the B660I Gaming V20 and the B660I Gaming Frozen V20, Colorful has introduced two more Mini-ITX motherboards for the hybrid Core i 12000 series (test) aka Intel Alder Lake. The two mainboards for the LGA1700 socket, which are particularly compact at 170 × 170 mm, not only differ in terms of color.
Just almost twins in black and White
Almost all specifications of the boards, which are both white and black, read the same, the only difference being the wired network connectivity. Because while both mainboards rely on an Intel AX201 for Wi-Fi 6, the respective network connection is connected with 1 Gbit/s and with 2.5 Gbit/s.

Specifications
The two motherboards with Intel's mainstream B660 chipset each support up to 64 GB DDR4-4600 (OC) via two DIMM slots and offer a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for graphics cards. Mass storage can be connected via four SATA ports and two M.2 slots. In addition, 6-channel audio is offered.
An 8+1-phase design with high-quality DrMOS power stages should ensure stable voltage modulation.
While the B660I Gaming V20 has an MRSP of $154 (excluding tax), the B660I Gaming Frozen V20 is only marginally more expensive at $159. The two Mini-ITX mainboards should be available in stores soon.
