This means the chipset can't adjust the CPU's performance settings beyond its default limits.

When evaluating Z690 and B660, only Z690 allows CPU overclocking. This means the processor can still boost its speed if installed in a B660 case. A B660 board won’t restrict all CPU tweaking features in its BIOS. There’s no built-in third-party software for overclocking on a B660 motherboard.
Overclocking the CPU beyond its stock limits isn't possible on a B series board. Turbo boost remains an option for any system. On the B660, you can't significantly increase speed or achieve overclocking.
CPUs strictly follow 100% Intel specifications on non-Z series motherboards. They adhere to built-in turbo features, which are integral to the CPU design, and won’t permit further adjustments beyond those defaults—no overclocking allowed.
