The MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi DDR4 has a well-laid-out EZ Mode that is the default landing screen. It gives you the ability to set the memory XMP profile, drive boot priority, automatic overclocking, and fan control without digging deeply into the sub-menus. Across the top is a helpful search tool if looking for a certain setting. It also allows for the language to be set.

Switch to Advanced Mode and the familiar MSI BIOS layout with the logo in the middle and each menu split into sections presents itself. Overall, you will spend the most time in the overclocking section, which has everything required for overclocking, setting voltages, and enabling features like ReSize-Bar for supported graphics cards.

Because the B660 chipset is geared towards casual users, CPU overclocking is non-existent on this motherboard. As such, besides setting up the memory X.M.P, or further tuning to the timings, there is little reason to venture into the advanced BIOS section on this motherboard.
