Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU. 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. 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. Introduction to the AM4 processor The surface of the AM4 processor has a yellow triangle to assist in correctly lining up the processor for motherboard placement. The yellow triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.53.62 Distance from the center of the CPU to the nearest DIMM slot.18 Overview of Components DIMM Slots DIMMA1 DIMMB1Channel A Channel BDIMMA2 DIMMB2 Memory module installation recommendation 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 processor specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the processor. 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. Due to AM4 processor/ memory controller official specification limitation, the frequency of memory modules may operate lower than the marked value under the default state. Please refer www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory. DIMMB2 DIMMB2DIMMB1DIMMA2DIMMA2DIMMA2DIMMA119 Overview of Components PCI_E1~5: PCIe Expansion Slots 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 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. The PCIe x1 slots can not be used simultaneously. PCI_E2 will be unavailable when installing the PCIe card in PCI_E4 slot.

Controls the digital powers related to CPU PWM. fCPU Loadline Calibration Control [Auto] The CPU voltage will decrease proportionally according to CPU loading. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance, but increase the temperature of the CPU and VRM. If set to Auto, BIOS will configure this setting automatically. fCPU Over Voltage Protection [Auto] Sets the voltage limit for CPU over-voltage protection. If set to Auto, BIOS will configure this setting automatically. Higher voltage provides less protection and may damage the system. fCPU Under Voltage Protection [Auto] Sets the voltage limit for CPU under-voltage protection. If set to Auto, BIOS will configure this setting automatically. Higher voltage provides less protection and may damage the system. fCPU Over Current Protection [Auto] Sets the current limit for CPU over-current protection. If set to Auto, BIOS will configure this setting automatically. [Auto] This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS. [Enhanced] Extends the current range for over-current protection.50 BIOS Setup fCPU NB Loadline Calibration Control [Auto] The CPU-NB voltage will decrease proportionally according to CPU-NB loading. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance, but increase the temperature.

This item appears when the installed CPU supports this technology. fGlobal C-state Control [Enabled] (optional) Enables/ disables IO based C-state generation and DF C-states.51 BIOS Setup fOpcache Control [Auto] (optional) Enables/ disables Opcache. Opcache stores recent decode instruction to save the decoding time when the instruction is repeated. And it may increase the CPU performance and reduce the power consumption slightly. fIOMMU Mode (optional) Enables/disables the IOMMU (I/O Memory Management Unit) for I/O Virtualization. fSpread Spectrum (optional) This function reduces the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) generated by modulating clock generator pulses. [Enabled] Enables the spread spectrum function to reduce the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) problem. [Disabled] Enhances the overclocking ability of CPU Base clock. Important

If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.

The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.
