Overview of Components
CPU Socket
Introduction to the LGA 1151 CPU
The surface of the LGA 1151 CPU has
two 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

DIMM3
DIMM2 DIMM2 DIMM2
DIMM1
Important
Always insert memory modules in the DIMM2 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.

Multiple graphics cards installation recommendation
Important
For a single PCIe x16 expansion
card installation with optimum
performance, using the PCI_E2 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.
