Z97 chipset for LGA 1150 CPUs
This MSI ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z97 chipset and accepts 4th and 5th generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors in an LGA 1150 socket. It provides four 240‑pin DDR3 slots supporting speeds up to 3000(OC) and a maximum capacity of 32 GB in dual‑channel mode.
CrossFire support with legacy expansion
The board offers one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, two PCI Express x1 slots and two standard PCI slots, making it suitable for builders who want AMD CrossFire multi‑GPU setups and still need older add‑in cards. It will not suit anyone requiring newer CPU sockets or memory types beyond DDR3.
DDR3‑3000(OC) memory ceiling
The highest memory speed the board can reach is DDR3‑3000 when overclocked, with official support down to 1066. If your build depends on faster memory or a different memory standard, this motherboard will not meet that requirement.
