Socket AM2/AM2+ platform board

The MSI 770T-C35 is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD 770 chipset for Socket AM2 and AM2+ processors. It accepts AMD Phenom, Athlon and Sempron CPUs and provides dual-channel DDR2 memory support up to 16GB. Six SATA ports, one PCI Express x16 slot, two PCI Express x1 slots and three legacy PCI slots give expansion room for older builds.

Dual-channel DDR2 up to 1066MHz

The board runs dual-channel DDR2 at 1066, 800, 667 or 533MHz with a maximum capacity of 16GB. This memory specification is the single figure that determines whether the board matches an existing CPU and RAM kit. Six SATA 3.3v/5v interfaces and a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot complete the storage and graphics connectivity.

Passive chipset cooling and modest power draw

The AMD 770 chipset is cooled passively so the board adds no active fan noise. Onboard audio uses the Realtek ALC889 codec with 8-channel output and Azalia 1.0 compliance. Networking is handled by a Realtek 8111DL Gigabit LAN controller. Six USB 2.0 ports on the rear panel provide peripheral connectivity without extra headers.

Questions about this item

What does the 16GB maximum memory mean for a DDR2 build?

You can populate up to 16GB of dual-channel DDR2 at 1066/800/667/533MHz, giving headroom for memory-heavy legacy applications.

How does the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot limit a modern graphics card?

The slot runs at PCIe 2.0 speeds, so newer cards will operate at that bandwidth ceiling rather than their native 3.0 or 4.0 rates.

What mounting pattern does the ATX board need in the chassis?

Standard ATX screw holes and the included I/O back panel align with any ATX-compatible case.
