In addition to the motherboard list, REHWK also leaked out the picture of the B660 AORUS Master (DDR5 variant) which features a very cost-effective design compared to the Z690 variant. The board comes with a 19 Phase power delivery, powered by an 8+4 connector configuration, features four SATA III ports, four DDR4 DIMM slots, three PCIe x16 slots (1 Gen 4 x16, 2 Gen 3 x4/x1), & a triple M.2 slot array (all covered in Thermal Guard heatsinks).
The motherboard comes with a decent heat sink design and should launch at around $300 US when it launches on the 4th of January. In addition to the AORUS / Gigabyte motherboards, it looks like a few more of Gigabyte's & ASUS's motherboards also leaked out over at Videocardz.

These include the ASUS TUF Gaming H670-PRO WiFi D4, PRIME H670-PLUS D4, ROG STRIX B660-A Gaming WiFi, and the ROG STRIX B660-F Gaming WiFi. While B660 is planned for launch on time, it looks like the H670 motherboards might face a short delay or supply shortage at the beginning as we have been told that there's a small H670 chipset shortage produced by OEMs who have asked for the chipsets in advance for their pre-builts featuring Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake Non-K CPUs.
