MSI B460M Bomber LGA 1200 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Micro ATX board for 10th Gen Intel LGA 1200

This micro ATX motherboard uses the Intel B460 chipset and the LGA 1200 socket. It accepts 10th Generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors up to Core i5. The board provides two DDR4 memory slots with a maximum capacity of 64 GB. It is aimed at compact system builds that need basic expandability.

Simple slot layout with limited M.2 cooling

Installation follows the standard micro ATX pattern with one PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot and two PCI-E 3.0 x1 slots. The single M.2 slot is covered by the M.2 Shield Frozr and M.2 Frost Armor heatsinks, which require removing a screw and thermal pad before inserting the drive. Builders often forget to reinstall the pad, leaving the SSD without thermal contact.

Two DDR4 slots cap memory at 64 GB

The board provides only two DDR4 DIMM slots, so the absolute memory ceiling is 64 GB and dual-channel operation stops at two modules. Buyers who want more storage lanes, four memory slots or a second full-size graphics card should look at larger ATX platforms.
