H170 chipset ATX motherboard

The MSI H170A PC MATE is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel H170 chipset for LGA 1151 processors. It supports 6th generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium and Celeron CPUs in a standard desktop form factor.

DDR4 2133 dual-channel memory

Four DIMM slots accept dual-channel DDR4 2133 memory up to 64 GB total capacity. A Realtek ALC887 codec provides 7.1 channel audio output while a Realtek RTL8111H controller handles gigabit networking.

PCIe 3.0 expansion and storage

Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots operate at x16 or x16/x4 alongside three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots. Storage connectivity includes one M.2 interface, one SATA Express interface and six SATA III ports. Six USB 3.1 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 ports complete the rear and internal I/O.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CPU into the LGA 1151 socket without bending pins?

Lift the retention arm, align the processor triangle with the socket marker, place it straight down without pressure, then lower and lock the arm — forcing the CPU sideways is the step that damages pins.

Which onboard component will need replacement first during long-term use?

The included CMOS battery powers the real-time clock and BIOS settings; when the system loses time or settings after power-off, replace that coin cell.

At what memory capacity does the board stop recognising additional DDR4 modules?

The memory controller supports a maximum of 64 GB across the four DDR4 slots; populating beyond that limit leaves the extra capacity undetected.
