LGA 1150 Intel B85 ATX motherboard
The MSI B85-G41 PC Mate is a desktop motherboard built around the Intel B85 chipset for 4th-generation Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium and Celeron processors in the LGA 1150 socket. It follows the standard ATX form factor and provides four 240-pin DDR3 memory slots that support dual-channel operation at 1066, 1333 and 1600 speeds up to a maximum of 32 GB.
Best for 4th-gen Intel builds with DDR3 memory
This board suits builders assembling or repairing a system based on a 4th-generation Intel CPU who need DDR3 memory support, a single PCI Express 3.0 x16 graphics slot and four SATA 6 Gb/s ports for storage. It will not accept newer processors that use different sockets or memory types, and it lacks onboard video outputs unless the installed CPU includes integrated graphics.
Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports for storage drives
The rear I/O panel includes one HDMI port, two PS/2 connectors, two USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0/1.1 ports. Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC887 8-channel codec and networking by the Realtek 8111G controller with 1 Gbps maximum LAN speed. Expansion slots comprise one PCI Express 3.0 x16, one PCI Express 2.0 x16 running at x4, two PCI Express x1 and two legacy PCI slots.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power draw should I expect from the B85-G41 PC Mate running a 4th-gen Core i7 all day?
The B85 chipset itself draws modest power; total heat depends on the specific CPU and cooler you install. Board components run within normal ATX thermal limits.
Which memory modules must I already own to populate the four 240-pin slots on this board?
You need DDR3 DIMMs rated for 1066, 1333 or 1600 MT/s. Maximum capacity is 32 GB across the four slots in dual-channel mode.
Will my existing PCI expansion cards fit the two PCI slots alongside the PCIe x16 and x1 slots?
Yes, the board provides two legacy PCI slots plus one PCIe 3.0 x16, one PCIe 2.0 x16 running at x4, and two PCIe x1 slots for older add-in cards.
