Socket AM4 platform

This MSI X470 Gaming Plus board targets builders using 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processors, including APU models with Radeon Vega Graphics. The ATX form factor fits standard mid-tower cases and provides four DDR4 slots plus two full-length PCIe 3.0 x16 slots for graphics or compute cards.

Memory and storage limits

DDR4 speeds up to 3466 MHz are reachable through A-XMP OC MODE, while JEDEC profiles cover 2667/2400/2133/1866 MHz; Athlon APUs cap at 2400 MHz. Total capacity stops at 64 GB across the four 288-pin slots in dual-channel mode. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports and two M.2 Key M sockets handle storage; the second M.2 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot running at x4, so that slot becomes unavailable when an M.2 PCIe drive occupies M2_2.

Compatibility checklist

Verify your CPU cooler clears the VRM heatsinks and that the power supply delivers an 8-pin EPS connector for the CPU. Confirm the chassis has room for a full-size ATX board and enough SATA power leads for six drives. Remember the box contains only the motherboard and I/O shield — no CMOS battery, no cables, no manual — so source those separately if needed.

Questions about this item

Which DDR4 speed should I pick for the X470 Gaming Plus — 3466 MHz A-XMP or 2667 MHz JEDEC?

Choose 3466 MHz modules if you plan to enable A-XMP in BIOS for higher throughput; otherwise 2667 MHz JEDEC kits run at rated speed without manual tuning.

What does the 64 GB maximum memory mean for a daily-workstation build?

You can populate all four 288-pin slots with 16 GB DDR4 modules for 64 GB total, running dual-channel at up to 3466 MHz via A-XMP or 2667 MHz JEDEC.

How do the two M.2 slots and six SATA 6Gb/s ports share bandwidth on this board?

The first M.2 slot runs PCIe 3.0 x4 from the Ryzen CPU; the second M.2 slot uses chipset lanes and disables the PCIe 2.0 x4 slot when a PCIe SSD is installed, while all six SATA ports remain active.
