MSI MAG B850M GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI AMD motherboard

AM5 mATX board for Ryzen 9000/8000/7000

The MSI MAG B850M GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard built around the AMD B850 chipset and the AM5 socket. It supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series desktop processors. Dual-channel DDR5 memory can run at 8200+ MT/s when overclocked, and the 10+2+1-phase power delivery uses dual 8-pin CPU connectors on a 6-layer server-grade PCB with 2oz copper.

Builders needing compact DDR5 platforms

This board suits builders who want a compact mATX platform with modern connectivity. It provides 5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 for high-speed networking, plus PCIe 5.0 slots and a Lightning Gen 5 x4 M.2 socket for fast storage and graphics. EZ DIY features include 2nd-generation tool-free M.2 quick-release, expandable PCIe latches and plug-and-play Wi-Fi antennas. Systems that require a larger ATX layout or a different chipset feature set will need another model.

B850 chipset with PCIe 5.0 and Lightning Gen 5 M.2

The AMD B850 chipset is the single specification that defines the platform capabilities of this board. It enables PCIe 5.0 support for both the primary expansion slot and the Lightning Gen 5 x4 M.2 connector, delivering high bandwidth for current graphics cards and solid-state drives. This chipset choice also determines the rear I/O layout, including 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 7, and the overall feature set available to the builder.
