Overview of Components
- Distance from the center of the CPU to the nearest DIMM slot.
CPU Socket
Please install the CPU into the CPU socket as shown below.
⚠ Important
- Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removingthe CPU.
- Please retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor. MSI will deal with Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests if only the motherboard comes with the protective cap on the CPU socket.
- When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
- Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.
- Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
- Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by coveringthe socket with the plastic cap.
- If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.
DIMM Slots
Please install the memory module into the DIMM slot as shown below.
Memory module installation recommendation
⚠ Important
-
Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.
-
To ensure system stability for Dual channel mode, memory modules must be of the same type, number and density.
-
Some memory modules may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial
Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Frequency to set the memory frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency. -
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.
-
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.
-
Please refer www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.
PCI_E1~5: PCIe Expansion Slots
⚠ Important
- When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software changes.
- If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI Gaming Series Graphics Card Bolster to support its weight to prevent deformation of the slot.
- For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.

- Supports for hard drive partitions larger than 2 TB.
- Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
- Supports unlimited number of partitions.
- Supports full capabilities of new devices – new devices may not provide backward compatibility.
- Supports secure startup – UEFI can check the validity of the operating system to ensure that no malware tampers with the startup process.
Incompatible UEFI cases
- 32-bit Windows operating system – this motherboard supports only 64-bit Windows 10/ Windows 11 operating system.
- Older graphics card – the system will detect your graphics card. When display a warning message There is no GOP (Graphics Output protocol) support detected in
this graphics card.
⚠ Important
We recommend that you to replace with a GOP/UEFI compatible graphics card or
using integrated graphics from CPU for having normal function.
How to check the BIOS mode?
