This middle range motherboard from the renowned MSI is the ideal choice for a casual home computer. Despite the favourable price, it will offer modern technology and perfect processing as expected from MSI. The board comes with a modern FM2 + socket that can accommodate AMD APU processors. Reverse compatibility is of course also a matter of course. The APUs contain a powerful graphics card and a decent processor, making it the perfect foundation for undemanding gamers or the sound base of a future gaming computer with a dedicated graphics card.
For the graphics card, the latest PCI-Express 3.0 slot is provided, delivering high transfer rates and minimal latency. Expansion card slots are complemented by high-speed SATA III with RAID disk support, modern USB 3.0 and of course, an integrated network and sound card. For DDR3 memory, slots with support up to 2133Mhz are installed. Between the outputs we find a modern interface for both digital and analogue monitors, three audio connectors, PS/2 and USB for other peripherals, and it is also possible to connect the serial port via a bracket on the motherboard.
The board contains a set of technologies called Military Class 4. Strong Japanese electrolytic capacitors have a lifetime of more than ten years, and special core coils emit a minimum heat and provide maximum stability. The board is also equipped with protection against electrostatic discharges, electromagnetic interference and is also resistant to operation in environments with increased humidity.
