Socket and chipset

The MSI MAG B365M MORTAR is an Intel B365 motherboard built for the LGA 1151 socket. It accepts 8th and 9th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors in a micro-ATX form factor measuring 23.6 by 20.0 centimetres. The board delivers 7.1 channel audio and a single Intel 1219-V Gigabit LAN port.

Build fit

It suits builders assembling a compact system around a supported LGA 1151 CPU who need dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 64GB and a single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for a graphics card. It is not for buyers who require more than one full-length PCIe x16 slot, more than one M.2 connector, or a different socket and chipset combination.

Memory limit

The decisive specification is the 64GB maximum capacity across two DDR4 slots running at 2666, 2400 or 2133MHz. If the build demands more memory than two modules can provide, this motherboard will not meet the requirement.

Highlights

  • Supports 8th and 9th generation Intel Core processors with LGA1151 socket
  • Dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 64GB at 2666MHz
  • 1 channel high-quality audio chipset for immersive sound
  • Intel 1219-V Gigabit LAN for reliable wired networking

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 64 GB maximum or run with less memory?

The board supports up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4 at 2666/2400/2133 MHz, so choose the capacity your workload needs within that limit.

What does the 2666 MHz memory rating deliver in daily use?

Dual-channel DDR4 at 2666 MHz gives snappy application loading and smooth multitasking for typical desktop workloads.

How does the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot limit graphics card performance?

The single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot provides full bandwidth for modern GPUs, while two x1 slots handle add-in cards.
