Socket and chipset
The MSI H55M-E33 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel H55 chipset for LGA 1156 processors. It accepts Intel i3, i5 and i7 CPUs using the 1156 architecture. The board provides a compact foundation for a desktop build using this platform.
Memory capacity and speeds
The single specification that determines fit is the 16GB maximum memory limit across dual-channel DDR3 slots. Supported frequencies include 1066, 1333, 1600, 1800, 2000 and 2133 MHz, with the higher speeds requiring overclocking. Exceeding the 16GB ceiling is not possible on this hardware.
Expansion and connectivity
A single PCI Express x16 slot at v2.0 handles the graphics card, while a PCI Express x1 slot and a 32-bit PCI 2.3 slot cover add-in cards. Six SATA II ports provide storage connections, and six USB 2.0 ports sit on the rear panel. Onboard audio uses the Realtek ALC889 codec for 7.1 channel output, and a Realtek 8111DL controller supplies 10/100/1000 Ethernet.

Questions sur cet article
What does the 16GB maximum memory mean for a real build?
You can install up to 16GB of DDR3 across the board's slots, giving headroom for multitasking and older games on an LGA 1156 platform.
How does the PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot limit a graphics card in practice?
The slot runs at PCI Express 2.0 speeds, so newer cards will work but may lose a small fraction of bandwidth compared with a 3.0 or 4.0 platform.
What mounting holes and power connectors does this Micro ATX board need?
It uses standard Micro ATX mounting points, a 24-pin ATX power connector and a 4-pin CPU power header for the LGA 1156 socket.
