Safety Information

y 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. y Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connections may cause the computer to not recognize a component or fail to start. y Hold the motherboard by the edges to avoid touching sensitive components. y 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. y Store the motherboard in an electrostatic shielding container or on an anti-static pad whenever the motherboard is not installed. y Before turning on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal components on the motherboard or anywhere within the computer case.

y Do not boot the computer before installation is completed. This could cause permanent damage to the components as well as injury to the user. y If you need help during any installation step, please consult a certified computer technician.

y Always turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing any computer component.

y Keep this user guide for future reference.

y

Keep this motherboard away from humidity.

y Make sure that your electrical outlet provides the same voltage as is indicated on the PSU, before connecting the PSU to the electrical outlet.

y Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on it. Do not place anything over the power cord.

y

All cautions and warnings on the motherboard should be noted.

y If any of the following situations arises, get the motherboard checked by service personnel:

ƒ Liquid has penetrated into the computer.

ƒ The motherboard has been exposed to moisture.

ƒ The motherboard does not work well or you can not get it work according to user guide.

ƒ The motherboard has been dropped and damaged.

ƒ The motherboard has obvious sign of breakage.

y

Do not leave this motherboard in an environment above 60 ° C (140 ° F), it may damage the motherboard.

CPU Socket

Introduction to the LGA 1151 CPU

The surface of the LGA 1151 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 y Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.

y 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.

y

When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.

y

Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.

y

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.

y

Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering the socket with the plastic cap.

y

If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

y

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.

Important y Always insert memory modules in the DIMM2 slot first.

y

Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.

y

Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than

4GB memory on the motherboard.

y

It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.

y

The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.

Multiple graphics cards installation recommendation

x16 x16 x4

Important y

For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.

y

It is recommended to install a smaller and single-slot graphics card in the PCI_E3 slot, to avoid blocking SATA3~6 ports and PCI1 slot.

y

The PCI_E3 slot will slow down from x4 to x2, when a M.2 SATA SSD is installed in the M2 slot. In addition, it will be unavailable when a M.2 PCIe SSD is installed.

Please refer to page 28 for M.2/ SATA & PCIe combination table.

y 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 ’ changes.

Overview of Components

CPUFAN1,SYSFAN1~2: Fan Connectors

Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode and Voltage

Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. Voltage Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage. Therefore, when you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a PWM Mode fan connector, the fan speed will be always maintained at 100%, and that could be noisy.

Controlling the fan speed

There are two ways to manage fan speed. One is to go to BIOS > HARDWARE

MONITOR . The other is to use COMMAND CENTER application.

BIOS > HARDWARE MONITOR COMMAND CENTER

Both methods offer gradient points of the fan speed that allow you to adjust fan speed in relation to CPU temperature.

Önt, hogy ...

Az Európai Unió („EU”) 2005. augusztus 13-án hatályba lépő, az elektromos és elektronikus berendezések hulladékairól szóló 2002/96/EK irányelve szerint az elektromos és elektronikus berendezések többé nem kezelhetőek lakossági hulladékként,

és az ilyen elektronikus berendezések gyártói kötelessé válnak az ilyen termékek visszavételére azok hasznos élettartama végén. Az MSI betartja a termékvisszavétellel kapcsolatos követelményeket az MSI márkanév alatt az EU-n belül értékesített termékek esetében, azok élettartamának végén. Az ilyen termékeket a legközelebbi gyűjtőhelyre viheti.
