AMD 970 chipset motherboard
The MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition is an ATX board built around the AMD 970 chipset for Socket AM3 and AM3+ processors. It targets builders upgrading or maintaining systems based on AMD FX, Phenom II, Athlon II or Sempron CPUs who need a stable platform with multi-GPU capability.
32 GB DDR3 capacity and PCIe 2.0 lanes
Dual-channel memory supports 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866 and 2133 (OC) MHz DDR3 up to 32 GB total. Two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots run at x16 and x8 speeds for SLI or CrossFire, while two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots handle add-in cards. Six SATA III ports provide drive connectivity.
Realtek audio, gigabit LAN and mixed USB
Onboard audio uses the Realtek ALC887 codec for 7.1-channel output, and a Realtek 8111E controller supplies a single gigabit Ethernet port. The rear panel offers six USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports via an ASM1042A controller and two USB 3.1 ports via an ASM1142 controller, with six more USB 2.0 headers available internally.

Questions sur cet article
Will my existing AM3+ CPU and DDR3 memory work with the 970 chipset on this board?
Yes, the Socket AM3/AM3+ accepts AMD FX, Phenom II, Athlon II and Sempron processors, and the board runs dual-channel DDR3 at 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866 or 2133 (OC) MHz up to 32 GB.
How can I confirm the Realtek ALC887 audio and 8111E Gigabit LAN are active after assembly?
Enter the UEFI and verify the onboard audio and LAN controllers are enabled, then check Windows Device Manager for the Realtek High Definition Audio and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller entries without error icons.
Which cables and brackets come in the box and what must I source separately?
The package includes the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the rear I/O shield; CPU cooler mounting hardware, additional SATA cables, case USB headers and any Wi-Fi antenna beyond the one noted are not supplied.
