Introduction to the AM5 CPU

The surface of the AM5 CPU has two notches and a golden triangle to assist in correctly lining up the CPU for motherboard placement. The golden triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.
Important
When changing the processor, the system configuration could be cleared and reset BIOS to default values, due to the AM5 processor’s architecture.
Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.
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.
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.
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 documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.
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 recommended. MSI® does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product specifications.

DIMMA1 DIMMA2 DIMMB1 DIMMB2

Important

Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.

To ensure system stability for Dual channel mode, memory modules must be of the same type, number and density.

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 to www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.

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. For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended. 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.
SATA_P1~2, SATA_P3~4 & SATA_S3~4: SATA 6Gb/s Connectors
These connectors are SATA 6Gb/s interface ports. Each connector can connect to one SATA device.
SATA_P2 SATA_P1 SATA_P4 SATA_P3 SATA_S4 SATA_S3
Important
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.

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 capabilities.
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 selftest process. It can also eliminate the time to switch to CSM mode during POST.
Supports for hard drive partitions larger than 2 TB. Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT). Supports unlimited number of partitions. 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 Windows 11 64-bit operating system.
Older graphics card – the system will detect your graphics card. If you use older graphics cards, it may display a warning message There is no GOP (Graphics Output protocol) support detected in this graphics card.
Important
We recommend that you replace it with a graphics card supporting GOP/UEFI or use CPU with integrated graphics for having normal function.
How to check the BIOS mode?
1. Power on your computer. 2. Press Delete key when the Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter Boot
Menu message appears on the screen during the boot process. 3. After entering the BIOS, you can check the BIOS Mode at the top of the screen.
