Socket LGA 1151 ATX motherboard
The MSI B360 GAMING ARCTIC is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel B360 chipset and the LGA 1151 socket. It accepts 8th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors for mainstream desktop builds. The board provides four DDR4 slots supporting dual-channel memory up to 64 GB.
Memory capacity and speed
Four DDR4 DIMM slots run at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz in dual-channel mode. The platform maximum is 64 GB, which decides whether this board suits your workload. Populate all four slots to reach that limit with commonly available modules.
Sustained operation characteristics
The Intel I219-V Gigabit LAN and dual Realtek ALC892 audio codecs are powered from the chipset VRM, so they remain stable during long sessions. Rear I/O includes two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports at 10 Gbps, four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and six USB 2.0 ports for consistent peripheral bandwidth.

Questions about this item
What does the 64GB maximum memory mean for a working build?
You can install up to 64GB of DDR4 across the dual-channel slots, running at 2666, 2400 or 2133MHz depending on the modules you choose.
How does the Intel B360 chipset limit the PCIe 3.0 lanes in practice?
The board provides two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots that operate in x16 or x4 modes plus four PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, all fed through the B360 chipset.
What physical space and mounting does the ATX board need in a case?
The ATX form factor measures 23.6 by 20.0cm and uses standard ATX screw holes, so it fits any case that supports ATX motherboards.
