Overview of Components 11

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
yAlways unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.
yPlease 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.
yWhen installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
yConfirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.
yOverheating 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.
yWhenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering the socket with the plastic cap.
yIf you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.
yThis 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
yAlways insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.
yDue to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.
yBased on CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the CPU.
yPlease 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.
ySome 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.
yIt is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.
yThe stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.

Important
yIf 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.
yFor a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.
yWhen 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.
These connectors are SATA 6Gb/s interface ports. Each connector can connect to one SATA device.

Important
yPlease do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during transmission otherwise.
ySATA 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.
yThe SATA2 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SATA device into M2_1 slot.
yThe SATA5 & SATA6 will be unavailable when installing M.2 PCIe/ SATA device into M2_2 slot.

Important
yNote that the VCC and Ground pins must be connected correctly to avoid possible damage.
yIn order to recharge your iPad,iPhone and iPod through USB ports, please install MSI DRAGON CENTER utility.
yThe CNVI_1 and JUSB2 share the same bandwidth. And one USB port connecting to JUSB2 is unavailable when the CNVI_1 slot has been installed.
These connectors allow you to connect USB 3.1 Gen1 ports on the front panel.

18 Overview of Components
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. You can follow the instruction below to adjust the fan connector to PWM or DC Mode.
Default PWM Mode fan connectors
1 CPU_FAN1/ PUMP_FAN1
Default DC Mode fan connectors
1 1
SYS_FAN1 & 5 |
SYS_FAN2, 3, 4 |
Switching fan mode and adjusting fan speed
You can switch between PWM mode and DC mode and adjust fan speed in BIOS > HARDWARE MONITOR.
Select PWM mode or DC mode
There are gradient points of the fan speed that allow you to adjust fan speed in relation to CPU temperature.
Important
Make sure fans are working properly after switching the PWM/ DC mode.
