Safety Information
The components included in this package are prone to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please adhere to the following instructions to ensure successful computer assembly.
Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connections may cause the computer to not recognize a component or fail to start.
Hold the motherboard by the edges to avoid touching sensitive components. It is recommended to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when
handling the motherboard to prevent electrostatic damage. If an ESD wrist strap is not available, discharge yourself of static electricity by touching another metal object before handling the motherboard. Store the motherboard in an electrostatic shielding container or on an anti-static pad whenever the motherboard is not installed. Before turning on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal components on the motherboard or anywhere within the computer case. Do not boot the computer before installation is completed. This could cause permanent damage to the components as well as injury to the user. If you need help during any installation step, please consult a certified computer technician. Always turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing any computer component. Keep this user guide for future reference. Keep this motherboard away from humidity. Make sure that your electrical outlet provides the same voltage as is indicated on the PSU, before connecting the PSU to the electrical outlet. Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on it. Do not place anything over the power cord. All cautions and warnings on the motherboard should be noted. If any of the following situations arises, get the motherboard checked by service personnel: · Liquid has penetrated into the computer. · The motherboard has been exposed to moisture. · The motherboard does not work well or you can not get it work according to user
guide. · The motherboard has been dropped and damaged. · The motherboard has obvious sign of breakage. Do not leave this motherboard in an environment above 60°C (140°F), it may damage the motherboard.

Introduction to the LGA1700 CPU
The surface of the LGA1700 CPU has four notches and a golden triangle to assist in correctly lining up the CPU for motherboard placement. The golden triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.
Important
Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the 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 covering the 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.
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. MSI® does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product specifications.

Memory module installation recommendation

DIMMA2

DIMMA2 DIMMB2

DIMMA1 DIMMA2 DIMMB1 DIMMB2

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 to www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.

PCI_E2: PCIe 3.0 x1 (From Z790 chipset) PCI_E3: PCIe 4.0 x4 (From Z790 chipset) PCI_E4: PCIe 3.0 x1 (From Z790 chipset)
Important
If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI 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.
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.

Important
Intel® RST only supports PCIe M.2 SSD with UEFI ROM. If your M.2 SSD equips its own heatsink, please remove the M.2 plate or rubber cube
in the M.2 slot before installing M.2 SSD. Do not re-install the heatsink supplied with your motherboard.

CPU_FAN1, PUMP_FAN1, SYS_FAN1~6: Fan Connectors
Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode or DC Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. DC Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage.
You can control fans in BIOS> HARDWARE MONITOR panel. It allows you to set DC or PWM to your fan type. Check the Smart Fan Mode, the fan speed will change according to the CPU or system temperature. Uncheck the Smart Fan Mode, the fan will spin at maximum speed.
Important
Make sure fans are working properly after switching the PWM/ DC mode.

UEFI BIOS
MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) architecture. UEFI has many new functions and advantages that traditional BIOS cannot achieve, and it will completely replace BIOS in the future. The MSI UEFI BIOS uses UEFI as the default boot mode to take full advantage of the new chipset’s capabilities.
Important
The term BIOS in this user guide refers to UEFI BIOS unless otherwise noted.
UEFI advantages
Fast booting – UEFI can directly boot the operating system and save the BIOS selftest process. And also eliminates the time to switch to CSM mode during POST.
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 Windows 11 64-bit operating system.
Older graphics card – the system will detect your graphics card. If you use older graphics cards, it may display a warning message There is no GOP (Graphics Output protocol) support detected in this graphics card.
Important
We recommend that you replace it with a graphics card supporting GOP/UEFI or use CPU with integrated graphics for having normal function.
How to check the BIOS mode?
1. Power on your computer. 2. Press Delete key, when the Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter Boot
Menu message appears on the screen during the boot process. 3. After entering the BIOS, you can check the BIOS Mode at the top of the screen.
BIOS Mode: UEFI

BIOS Setup
The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal conditions. You should always keep the default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting unless you are familiar with BIOS.

Important
BIOS items are continuously update for better system performance. Therefore, the description may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be for reference only. You could also refer to the HELP information panel for BIOS item description.
The BIOS screens, options and settings will vary depending on your system.

Entering BIOS Setup
Press Delete key, when the Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter Boot Menu message appears on the screen during the boot process.
