Overview of Components

CPU Socket

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 a 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.

DIMM Slots

Memory module installation

Important

• 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 operating 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 a higher frequency.
• It is recommended that users use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMM installation or overclocking.
• The stability and compatibility of the installed memory module depend on the installed CPU and devices when overclocking.
• Please refer to www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.

PCI_E1~3: PCIe Expansion Slots

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.
• 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.

SATA_5~8: SATA 6Gb/s Connectors

• These connectors are SATA 6Gb/s interface ports. Each connector can connect to one SATA device.

Important

• Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during transmission otherwise.
• SATA cables have identical plugs on either side of the cable. However, it is recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space-saving purposes.
• SATA5 will be unavailable when installing the M.2 SATA SSD in the M2_2 slot.

M2_1~2: M.2 Slots (Key M)

• Important Intel® RST only supports PCIe M.2 SSD with UEFI ROM.

Installing the M.2 module into the M2_1 slot

1. Loosen the screws of the M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink.
2. Lift the M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink and remove it.
3. Secure the supplied M.2 standoff according to your SSD length. Skip this step, if you install 2280 SSD.
4. Insert your M.2 SSD into the M.2 slot at a 30-degree angle.
5. For the 2280 SSD, rotate the EZ M.2 Clip to fix the M.2 SSD. For 2242/ 2260 SSD, secure the M.2 SSD in place with the supplied M.2 screw.
6. Remove the protective film from the thermal pad under the M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink.
7. Put the M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink back in place and secure it.

Installing the M.2 module into the M2_2 slot

1. Secure the supplied M.2 standoff according to your M.2 SSD length if needed.
2. Insert your M.2 SSD into the M.2 slot at a 30-degree angle.
3. Secure the M.2 SSD in place with the supplied M.2 screw.
