AM4 Socket AMD Motherboard

The MSI X570-A PRO is an ATX board built for 2nd and 3rd Gen Ryzen desktop processors. It supports CPUs with integrated Radeon Vega Graphics and standard Ryzen models for the AM4 platform. Four 288-pin slots accept up to 128GB of DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode. The AMD X570 chipset enables PCIe 4.0 pathways for graphics and storage.

Steel Armour PCIe Slot and Active Chipset Cooling

A reinforced PCIe 4.0 x16 slot protects heavy graphics cards from sag and signal interference. Three additional PCIe 3.0 x1 slots provide room for add-in cards. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports and two M.2 Key M slots handle 2.5-inch and stick-style drives. The X570 chipset uses a ball-bearing fan with Zero Frozr stop-mode for silent low-load operation. Rear I/O includes HDMI 1.4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C, four USB 3.2 Gen 1, two USB 2.0, Gigabit LAN and 7.1-channel audio from the Realtek ALC1220 codec.

Check CPU Generation and Memory Speed Compatibility

Verify which Ryzen generation you will install because PCIe 4.0 x16 and M.2 speeds require a 3rd Gen processor. 2nd Gen CPUs and APUs fall back to PCIe 3.0 for both the primary slot and the first M.2. DDR4 frequencies above 3200 MHz rely on A-XMP overclocking profiles; JEDEC standard tops out at 3200 MHz. Ensure your power supply provides both 8-pin and 4-pin CPU connectors for the Core Boost VRM. The HDMI 1.4 port only functions with APUs that include Radeon Vega Graphics.
