Overheating
Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure the
cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an
even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to
enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
When replacing the CPU, always turn off the systems power supply and unplug the
power supplys power cord to ensure the safety of the CPU.
Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to overclock,
please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclocking. Any
attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommend. MSI does not
guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product
specifications.

DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3
standard is not backward compatible. Always install DDR3 memory modules in
DDR3 DIMM slots.
To ensure system stability, memory modules must be of the same type and density
in Dual-Channel mode.
Due to chipset resource usage, the system will only detect up to 31+ GB of memory
(not full 32 GB) when all DIMM slots have 8GB memory modules installed.

The I/O ports should be facing

toward the rear of the computer
case. They should line up with the
holes on the I/O backplate.
When installing the motherboard, first install the necessary mounting stands required
for an motherboard on the mounting plate in your computer case. If there is an
I/O back plate that came with the computer case, please replace it with the I/O
backplate that came with the motherboard package. The I/O backplate should snap
easily into the computer case without the need for any screws. Align the mounting
plates mounting stands with the screw holes on the motherboard and secure the
motherboard with the screws provided with your computer case. The locations of the
screw holes on the motherboard are shown below. For more information, please refer
to the manual that came with the computer case.
Important
Install the motherboard on a flat surface free from unnecessary debris.
To prevent damage to the motherboard, any contact between the motherboard
circuitry and the computer case, except for the mounting stands, is prohibited.
Please make sure there are no loose metal components on the motherboard or
within the computer case that may cause a short circuit of the motherboard.

Expansion Slots
This motherboard contains numerous slots for expansion cards, such as discrete
graphics or audio cards.
PCI_E1~E4: PCIe Expansion Slot

The PCIe slot supports the PCIe interface expansion card.
PCIe 3.0 x16 Slot
English
PCIe 2.0 x16 Slot
PCIe 2.0 x1 Slot
PCI1~3: PCI Expansion Slot

The PCI slot supports additional LAN, SCSI, USB, and other add-on cards that comply
with PCI specifications.
Important
When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and
unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion
cards documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software
changes.

Video/ Graphics Cards

If available, this motherboard takes advantage of the CPUs integrate graphics
processor, but discrete video cards can be installed by way of the motherboards
expansion slots. Adding on one or more discrete video cards will significantly boost
the systems graphics performance. For best compatibility, MSI graphics cards are
recommended.
Video Demonstration
Single Video Card Installation

1. Determine what type of expansion slot(s) the video card will use. Locate the
expansion slot(s) on the motherboard. Remove any protective expansion slot
covers from the computer case.
2. Line up the video card on top of the expansion slot(s) with the display ports facing
out of the computer case. For a single video card installation, using the PCI_E2
slot is recommended.
3. Push the video card into its expansion slot(s). Depending on the expansion slot(s)
used, there should be clip(s) on the expansion slot(s) that will lock in place.
4. If needed, screw the edge of the graphics card to the computer case. Some video
cards might require a power cable directly from the power supply.
5. Please consult your video cards manual for further instructions regarding driver
installation or other special settings.

Many computer cases also require that large SATA devices, such as HDDs, SSDs,
and optical drives, be screwed down into the case. Refer to the manual that came
with your computer case or your SATA device for further installation instructions.
Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result
during transmission otherwise.
SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is
recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space
saving purposes.
