AM3+ Micro-ATX board for legacy AMD builds

The MSI 860GM-P43(FX) uses the AMD 760G chipset on a Socket AM3+ platform. It fits Micro-ATX cases and supports AMD FX, Phenom II, Athlon II and Sempron processors. Dual-channel DDR3 memory runs at 1333, 1066 or 800 MHz up to 16 GB total capacity.

Suits repair or budget upgrades.

This board matches existing AM3+ CPUs and DDR3 modules for low-cost repairs or secondary systems. Builders needing current sockets, newer memory standards or modern I/O should select a different motherboard.

Dual-channel DDR3 1333/1066/800 MHz to 16 GB

Memory support is the key specification: only dual-channel DDR3 at 1333, 1066 or 800 MHz up to 16 GB is compatible. Verify your CPU and RAM match these limits before purchase.

Questions about this item

What DDR3 memory speed must I already have for the board to run at its top 1333 MHz dual-channel rate?

Install two matching DDR3 modules rated at 1333 MHz; the board will then operate in dual-channel mode at that speed, with lower 1066 and 800 MHz modules also supported.

Will my PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphics card work in the single x16 slot without bandwidth loss?

Yes — the slot runs at PCI Express 2.0 x16 speed, so a 2.0 card uses its full width and a 3.0 card simply negotiates down to 2.0 without extra setup.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC887 audio and REL8111E LAN are active after first boot?

Open Device Manager; both the High Definition Audio Controller and the Gigabit Ethernet Controller should appear without yellow warnings, and the rear panel should show six USB 2.0 ports live.
