Safety Information
∙ The components included in this package are prone to damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Please adhere to the following instructions to ensure successful
computer assembly.
∙ Hold the motherboard by the edges to avoid touching sensitive components.
∙ Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connections may cause
the computer to not recognize a component or fail to start.
∙ It is recommended to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when
handling the motherboard to prevent electrostatic damage. If an ESD wrist strap is
not available, discharge yourself of static electricity by touching another metal object
before handling the motherboard.
∙ Store the motherboard in an electrostatic shielding container or on an anti-static
pad whenever the motherboard is not installed.
∙ Before turning on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal
components on the motherboard or anywhere within the computer case.
∙ Do not boot the computer before installation is completed. This could cause
permanent damage to the components as well as injury to the user.
∙ If you need help during any installation step, please consult a certified computer
technician.
∙ Keep this user guide for future reference.
∙ Always turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet
before installing or removing any computer component.
∙ Keep this motherboard away from humidity.
∙ Make sure that your electrical outlet provides the same voltage as is indicated on
the PSU, before connecting the PSU to the electrical outlet.
∙ Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on it. Do not place
anything over the power cord.
∙ All cautions and warnings on the motherboard should be noted.
▪ Liquid has penetrated into the computer.
∙ If any of the following situations arises, get the motherboard checked by service
personnel:
▪ The motherboard has been exposed to moisture.
▪ The motherboard does not work well or you can not get it work according to
user guide.
▪ The motherboard has been dropped and damaged.

∙
Please retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor. MSI will deal
with Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests if only the motherboard
comes with the protective cap on the CPU socket.
∙
Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing
the CPU.
∙
When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink
is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
∙
Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting
your system.
⚠
Important
∙
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.
∙
Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering
the socket with the plastic cap.
∙
If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the docu-
mentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

DIMM Slots
Please install the memory module into the DIMM slot as shown below.

∙
Some memory modules may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value
when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial
Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Frequency to set the memory
frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.
∙
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs
installation or overclocking.
∙
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed
CPU and devices when overclocking.
∙
Please refer for more information on compatible memory.
∙
To ensure system stability for Dual channel mode, memory modules must be of the
same type, number and density.
⚠
Important
∙
Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA1 slot first.

∙
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
card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software
changes.
⚠
Important
∙
If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI
Gaming Series Graphics Card Bolster to support its weight to prevent deformation
of the slot.

Overview of Components
UEFI BIOS
MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
architecture. UEFI has many new functions and advantages that traditional BIOS
cannot achieve, and it will completely replace BIOS in the future. The MSI UEFI
BIOS uses UEFI as the default boot mode to take full advantage of the new chipset’s
capabilities. However, it still has a CSM (Compatibility Support Module) mode to be
compatible with older devices. That allows you to replace legacy devices with UEFI
compatible devices during the transition.
⚠
Important
The term BIOS in this user guide refers to UEFI BIOS unless otherwise noted.
UEFI advantages
∙ Fast booting - UEFI can directly boot the operating system and save the BIOS self-
test process. And also eliminates the time to switch to CSM mode during POST.
∙ Supports for hard drive partitions larger than 2 TB.
∙ Supports unlimited number of partitions.
∙ Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
∙ Supports full capabilities of new devices - new devices may not provide backward
compatibility.
∙ Supports secure startup - UEFI can check the validity of the operating system to
ensure that no malware tampers with the startup process.
Incompatible UEFI cases
∙ 32-bit Windows operating system - this motherboard supports only 64-bit
Windows 10 operating system.
∙ Older graphics card - the system will detect your graphics card. When display a
warning message There is no GOP (Graphics Output protocol) support detected in
this graphics card.
⚠
Important
We recommend that you to use a GOP/ UEFI compatible graphics card.

BIOS Setup
The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal
conditions. You should always keep the default settings to avoid possible system
damage or failure booting unless you are familiar with BIOS.
∙
BIOS items are continuous update for better system performance. Therefore, the
description may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be held for
reference only. You could also refer to the HELP information panel for BIOS item
