MSI 760GM-P21(FX) AM3+ Motherboard

The MSI 760GM-P21(FX) is a Micro ATX board built around the AMD 760G chipset for Socket AM3+ processors. It accepts 64-bit AMD FX, Phenom II, Athlon II and Sempron CPUs. The board provides dual-channel DDR3 memory support up to 16 GB across the 1333, 1066 and 800 MHz standards. It suits budget builds or legacy upgrades where AM3+ compatibility is required.

PCI Express 2.0 and SATA II limits

A single PCI Express x16 slot runs at the 2.0 generation, capping graphics bandwidth to that standard. One PCI Express x1 slot and one 3.3 V or 5 V PCI slot complete the expansion options. Storage connects through four SATA II ports that top out at 3 Gb/s per drive. The Realtek RTL8105E LAN controller is limited to 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s Ethernet speeds.

16 GB DDR3 ceiling

The maximum supported memory is 16 GB of dual-channel DDR3. Any build that needs more capacity must use a different platform. This figure is the deciding spec for whether the board fits the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a board that takes 16GB DDR3 or one limited to 8GB?

This board tops out at 16GB across two slots, so you can install two 8GB DDR3 modules and reach the full capacity.

What does the 1333MHz DDR3 rating mean once the board is running?

The memory controller will run DDR3 at up to 1333MHz in dual-channel mode; faster modules simply drop to that speed.

Does the PCI Express x16 slot run at 2.0 or 1.0 speeds?

The x16 slot operates at PCIe 2.0 x16, while the x1 slot and the PCI slot remain at their standard rates.
