Socket LGA 1151 platform

The MSI B150 KRAIT GAMING motherboard pairs the Intel B150 chipset with an LGA 1151 socket for 6th generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium and Celeron processors. It fits a standard ATX build aimed at mainstream gaming and general computing.

Dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 64GB

Four slots accept DDR4 2133MHz modules in dual-channel mode with a 64GB ceiling. Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots run at x16 or x16/x4, three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots provide expansion, while one M.2 Key E slot and six SATA III ports handle storage and Wi-Fi modules.

Realtek ALC892 audio and RTL8111H LAN

Onboard 7.1 channel audio uses the ALC892 codec with S/PDIF output, and a single RTL8111H controller delivers gigabit Ethernet. The rear panel includes two USB 3.1 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 ports, with headers for two more USB 3.1 Gen1 and two USB 2.0 ports. The box supplies the board, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and an I/O shield.

Questions about this item

Will my current DDR4-2133 memory run in dual-channel mode on the B150 chipset?

The board supports dual-channel DDR4 at 2133 MHz and accepts up to 64 GB across its slots, so existing DDR4-2133 modules will operate in dual-channel provided they are installed in matched pairs.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC892 audio and RTL8111H LAN are functioning after assembly?

Boot into the OS, open Device Manager and verify both the Realtek High Definition Audio controller and the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller appear without error codes; then play audio and connect a network cable to test link lights.

Does the package include any SATA cables or Wi-Fi antenna, or must I buy them separately?

The box contains the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable, the rear I/O shield and a Wi-Fi antenna for the M.2 Key E slot; additional SATA cables or other accessories are not included.
