Socket AM3 DDR3 Platform

The MSI 870S-G46 is an ATX motherboard built on the AMD 870 chipset for Socket AM3 processors. It supports 64-bit AMD Phenom II CPUs and dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 32GB at speeds of 1600 (overclocking), 1333, 1066 and 800MHz. The board targets builders assembling or maintaining legacy AMD systems.

PCI Express 2.0 and SATA III Limits

Two PCI Express x16 slots provide expansion, with the primary slot running at PCIe 2.0 x16 and the secondary at PCIe 2.0 x4. A single PCI Express x1 slot and three 3.3V/5V PCI slots add further connectivity. Six SATA III ports handle storage, while eight USB 2.0 ports on the rear panel cover peripheral needs. Gigabit LAN uses a Realtek 8111DL controller for 10, 100 and 1000Mb/s speeds.

ATX Layout and Onboard Audio

The ATX form factor fits standard chassis mounting points and the included I/O back panel. Realtek ALC892 audio delivers 8-channel output with Blu-ray sound support and Azalia 1.0 compliance. The package supplies the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the I/O shield. No additional accessories are included.
