Compact LGA 1151 Platform
The MSI B250I PRO is a Mini-ITX motherboard built around the Intel B250 chipset and LGA 1151 socket. It accepts 6th and 7th generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors as well as Pentium and Celeron models. The board supports dual-channel DDR4 memory at 2400 or 2133MHz up to a maximum of 32GB.
Small-Form-Factor Builders
This board suits builders assembling compact systems that need a single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and four SATA III ports. It provides six USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and four USB 2.0 ports for peripheral connectivity. Users requiring multiple graphics cards, additional PCIe lanes or newer CPU generations should consider a larger form factor with a different chipset.
Dual-Channel DDR4 32GB Limit
The memory controller caps total capacity at 32GB across two slots running at 2400 or 2133MHz. This ceiling determines whether the board can meet the memory demands of the intended workload.
