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.

Case stand-off notification
To prevent damage to the motherboard, any unnecessary mounting stand-off between
the motherboard circuits and the computer case is prohibited. The Case standoff keep
out zone signs will be marked on the backside of motherboard (as shown below) to
serve as a warning to user.
Avoid collision notification
Protective paint is printed around each screw hole to prevent parts from being
scratched.
* The illustration above is for reference only and may vary from the motherboard you
purchased.

Introduction to the AM5 CPU
The surface of the AM5 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
⚠
∙
When changing the processor, the system configuration could be cleared and reset
BIOS to default values, due to the AM5 processor’s architecture.
∙
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.

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

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.
∙
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.

Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode or DC Mode.
PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with
speed control signal. DC Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage.
The auto mode fan connectors can automatically detect PWM and DC mode.
You can control fans in BIOS> HARDWARE MONITOR panel. It allows you to set DC
or PWM to your fan type. Check the Smart Fan Mode, the fan speed will change
according to the CPU or system temperature. Uncheck the Smart Fan Mode, the fan
will spin at maximum speed.

UEFI BIOS
MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
architecture. UEFI has many new functions and advantages that traditional BIOS
cannot achieve, and it will completely replace BIOS in the future. The MSI UEFI
BIOS uses UEFI as the default boot mode to take full advantage of the new chipset’s
capabilities.
Important
⚠
The term BIOS in this user guide refers to UEFI BIOS unless otherwise noted.
UEFI advantages
∙ Fast booting - UEFI can directly boot the operating system and save the BIOS self-
test process. And also eliminates the time to switch to CSM mode during POST.
∙ Supports for hard drive partitions larger than 2 TB.∙ Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).∙ Supports unlimited number of partitions.∙ Supports full capabilities of new devices - new devices may not provide backward
compatibility.
∙ Supports secure startup - UEFI can check the validity of the operating system to
ensure that no malware tampers with the startup process.
Incompatible UEFI cases
∙ 32-bit Windows operating system - this motherboard supports only Windows 10/
Windows 11 64-bit operating system.
∙ Older graphics card - the system will detect your graphics card. If you use older
graphics cards, it may display a warning message There is no GOP (Graphics Output
protocol) support detected in this graphics card.
Important
⚠
We recommend that you replace it with a graphics card supporting GOP/UEFI or use
CPU with integrated graphics for having normal function.
How to check the BIOS mode?
1. Power on your computer.
2. Press Delete key, when the Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter Boot
Menu message appears on the screen during the boot process.
3. After entering the BIOS, you can check the BIOS Mode at the top of the screen.
