MSI B450M PRO-M2 V2 AMD motherboard

Socket AM4 Micro ATX board

The MSI B450M PRO-M2 V2 is a Micro ATX motherboard built around the AMD B450 chipset for Socket AM4 processors. It supports AMD Ryzen first- and second-generation CPUs, as well as Ryzen and Athlon models with integrated Radeon Vega graphics. The board targets budget system builders who need a compact platform for everyday computing and light gaming.

Dual-channel DDR4 up to 3466 MHz

Memory runs in dual-channel mode with official support for speeds from 1866 through 3466 MHz, topping out at 32 GB total capacity. The single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot operates at x16 with Ryzen first- and second-generation chips, but drops to x8 when a processor with Radeon Vega graphics is installed. Storage connects through one M.2 interface and four SATA III ports, while networking relies on a Realtek 8111H Gigabit LAN controller and audio uses the Realtek ALC887 7.1-channel codec.

Straightforward drop-in installation

The board fits any Micro ATX or larger case using standard mounting holes and a supplied I/O shield. A 24-pin ATX and a 4-pin CPU power connector are the only required power inputs. Builders should verify BIOS version compatibility with their specific Ryzen generation before assembly, as older firmware may not recognise newer CPUs. The package includes one SATA cable, a CMOS battery and the rear I/O panel; no additional brackets or Wi-Fi antennas are provided.
