MSI Z270-A PRO LGA 1151 ATX motherboard

This MSI Z270-A PRO motherboard uses the Intel Z270 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket to support 6th and 7th generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors plus Pentium and Celeron models. It is an ATX board designed for desktop builders who need a full-size layout with dual-channel DDR4 memory support up to 64GB and a range of expansion slots for graphics and add-in cards.

Suited for 6th or 7th generation Intel Core builds

The board suits users assembling a system around a 6th or 7th generation Intel Core, Pentium or Celeron CPU with an LGA 1151 package who want dual-channel DDR4 memory running at speeds from 2133 up to 3800 OC and multiple PCIe 3.0 slots for graphics or other expansion. Builders planning an 8th generation or newer Intel processor, or a platform requiring a different socket or memory type, should select a motherboard built for that generation.

DDR4 memory support up to 64GB and 3800 OC

The single specification that decides compatibility is the DDR4 memory standard with a maximum capacity of 64GB across dual channels and supported frequencies of 2133, 2400, 2600, 2800, 3000, 3200, 3600 and 3800 OC. Matching the CPU generation to the LGA 1151 socket and pairing memory within this supported range ensures the board will operate as intended.

Highlights

  • Supports 6th/7th Gen Intel Core i3/i5/i7 on LGA 1151 socket
  • Dual-channel DDR4 up to 3800 MHz (OC) with 64 GB maximum capacity
  • Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots running at x16/x4 plus four PCIe 3.0 x1 slots
