AMD 880G chipset Micro ATX board

The MSI 880GM-E35 uses the AMD 880G chipset on a Micro ATX form factor. It supports 64-bit AMD Phenom II and Athlon II processors. Dual-channel DDR3 memory runs at up to 1600 MHz with overclocking. Maximum capacity is 16 GB across the memory slots.

Suits AM3 upgrades and basic builds

This board suits owners of compatible AM3 processors who need a replacement or a budget platform. Integrated graphics from the 880G chipset handle display output without a discrete card. Builders needing newer CPU sockets, faster memory standards or modern storage interfaces should look at something else.

16 GB DDR3 maximum memory capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 16 GB DDR3 limit. If the planned system requires more memory or a different memory type, this motherboard will not work. Verify the CPU and memory kit against this ceiling before purchase.

Questions about this item

Which DDR3 memory speeds does the MSI 880GM-E35 support for its dual-channel controller?

The board runs dual-channel DDR3 at 1600 MHz when overclocked, and at 1333, 1066 or 800 MHz without overclocking, up to a total of 16 GB.

Will a PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphics card operate at full speed in the single x16 slot?

Yes, the sole PCI Express x16 slot is wired for PCIe 2.0 x16 electrical speed, so a 2.0 card will run at its rated bandwidth.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC892 audio and REL8111E LAN are active after assembly?

In Device Manager both the High Definition Audio Controller and the Gigabit Ethernet Controller should appear without error codes, and the rear panel should provide 8-channel audio output and a 1000 Mb/s link light.
