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.

Overview of Components DIMM Slots DIMMA1 DIMMB1Channel A Channel BDIMMA2 DIMMB2 Memory module installation recommendation DIMMB2 DIMMB2DIMMB1DIMMA2 DIMMA2 DIMMA2DIMMA1 Important Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first. Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed. Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the CPU. Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than 4GB memory on the motherboard. Some memory 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 Memory Try It! 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.19 Overview of Components PCI_E1 PCI_E1 PCI_E4 PCI_E1~5: PCIe Expansion Slots PCI_E1: PCIe 3.0 x16 (CPU lanes) PCI_E2: PCIe 3.0 x4 (CPU lanes) PCI_E3: PCIe 3.0 x1 (PCH lanes) PCI_E4: PCIe 3.0 x8 (CPU lanes) PCI_E5: PCIe 3.0 x4 (PCH lanes) Multiple graphics cards installation recommendation Graphics Card Single 2-Way 3-Way* 4-Way*PCI_E1 @ 3.0 x16 @ 3.0 x8 @ 3.0 x8 @ 3.0 x8PCI_E2 Empty Empty Empty @ 3.0 x4PCI_E3 3.0 x1 3.0 x1 3.0 x1 3.0 x1PCI_E4 Empty @ 3.0 x8 @ 3.0 x8 @3.0 x4PCI_E5 3.0 x4 3.0 x4 @ 3.0 x4 @3.0 x4 (@: graphics card slot, *: CrossFire only)20 Overview of Components PCI_E1 PCI_E1 PCI_E4 PCI_E4 PCI_E5 PCI_E5 PCI_E2 Important

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 and 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.
