AM4 X470 ATX board for Ryzen builds

The MSI X470 GAMING PLUS MAX is a Socket AM4 motherboard based on the AMD X470 chipset. It accepts first and second generation Ryzen CPUs as well as Ryzen APUs and A-series processors. The board supports dual-channel DDR4 up to 64 GB across speeds from 1866 to 3466 MHz. It delivers a standard ATX layout with 7.1 channel audio and gigabit LAN.

Suits second-gen Ryzen owners.

This board fits owners of first and second generation Ryzen chips who want X470 features such as multi-GPU slot flexibility and extra USB 3.1 Gen2 ports. Builders planning a third generation or later Ryzen should look elsewhere because the socket and chipset do not support those processors. Users who only need basic connectivity may prefer a simpler chipset board.

X470 chipset determines CPU generation

The AMD X470 chipset locks compatibility to first and second generation Ryzen and defines the PCIe 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen2 limits of the platform. It also sets the maximum memory capacity at 64 GB and the supported DDR4 frequency range. Choosing this board means accepting that generation boundary for the life of the system.

  • Supports first and second generation Ryzen processors on AM4 socket
  • Dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 3466 MHz with 64 GB maximum capacity
  • Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots enabling x8/x8 multi-GPU configurations
