MSI B250M-E LGA 1151 Micro ATX Board
This MSI B250M-E motherboard uses the Intel B250 chipset on a Micro ATX form factor. It fits LGA 1151 processors including 6th and 7th generation Core i3 i5 i7 plus Pentium and Celeron models. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at 2133 or 2400 MHz up to 32 GB total capacity.
Suits 6th 7th Gen Intel Builds Not Newer CPUs
Builders upgrading a 6th or 7th generation Intel system will find native socket and chipset support here. The board delivers 7.1 channel audio through the Realtek ALC887 codec and gigabit LAN via the Realtek RTL8111H controller. Users targeting 8th generation or later Intel processors must choose a different socket and chipset platform.
One PCIe 3.0 x16 Slot For Graphics
A single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot provides the primary expansion path for a discrete graphics card. Two additional PCIe 3.0 x1 slots accept add-in cards such as sound or network adapters. Storage connects through one M.2 interface and six SATA III ports while USB 3.1 Gen1 and USB 2.0 headers supply front and rear connectivity.

Questions about this item
Will my existing DDR4 2133 MHz memory work with the B250M-E?
The board supports dual-channel DDR4 at 2400 and 2133 MHz, so your current modules will run at their rated speed.
How can I confirm the Realtek ALC887 audio is active after assembly?
Open Windows Sound settings, select the Realtek 7.1 device, and run the speaker test; all channels should play tone.
Does the box include the I/O shield and a SATA cable, or must I buy them separately?
The package contains the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable, and the chassis I/O back panel; nothing else is supplied.
