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.

CPU Socket

Distance from the center of the

CPU to the nearest DIMM slot.

50.77 mm

Introduction to the LGA 1200 CPU

The surface of the LGA 1200 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.

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

Overview of Components 15

PCI_E4: PCIe 3.0 x1 (PCH)

PCI_E1~4: PCIe Expansion Slots

PCI_E1: PCIe 3.0 x16 (CPU)

PCI_E2: PCIe 3.0 x1 (PCH)

PCI_E3: PCIe 3.0 x4 (PCH)

Important

PCI_E3 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SSD in the M2_2 slot.

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.

SATA1~6: SATA 6Gb/s Connectors

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

SATA2

SATA4

SATA1

SATA3

SATA5

SATA6

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 sides of the cable. However, it is recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space saving purposes.

SATA1 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SATA SSD in the M2_1 slot.

Intel® RST only supports PCIe M.2 SSD with UEFI ROM (M2_2 slot only). Intel® Optane™ Memory Ready for all M2_2 slot.

M2_1 slot installation

1. Loosen the screws of M.2 SHIELD FROZR heatsink.

2. Remove the M.2 SHIELD FROZR and remove the protective films from the thermal pads.

3.Move and fasten the M.2 standoff to the appropriate position for your M.2 SSD, or remove the M.2 standoff if your M.2 SSD length is same as the length of M.2 heatsink to avoid damage to the M.2 SSD.

4.Insert your M.2 SSD into the M.2 slot at a 30-degree angle.

5.Secure the M.2 SSD in place with the M.2 screw, or skip this step if you remove the M.2 standoff in step 3.
