MSI B150M NIGHT ELF motherboard

This Micro ATX board uses the Intel B150 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket for 6th and 7th generation Intel Core processors. It provides four DDR4 DIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory up to 64 GB at 2133 MHz. Six SATA III ports and multiple USB 3.1 and 2.0 headers handle storage and peripherals.

Suits 6th-7th gen Intel builds

Builders assembling a 6th or 7th generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium or Celeron system will find the matching socket and chipset here. The board lacks newer CPU support, faster memory standards and M.2 slots, so anyone needing 8th generation or later processors should choose a different platform.

LGA 1151 socket defines CPU choice

The LGA 1151 socket physically limits the motherboard to Intel 14 nm processors from the 6th and 7th generations only. No BIOS update can add support for newer CPUs, so the socket is the single specification that decides whether this board fits the intended build.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 64 GB DDR4 kit or a smaller one for this board?

The board has four DDR4 DIMM slots and supports up to 64 GB in dual-channel at 2133 MHz, so a 64 GB kit will use all slots and run at the rated speed.

What does the 2133 MHz memory rating mean once the board is built?

With a sixth- or seventh-generation CPU installed, the memory controller will run DDR4 at 2133 MHz in dual-channel mode across the four slots.

Which SATA standard do the six ports use and what speed does that cap at?

All six ports are SATA III, so each drive is limited to the SATA III 6 Gbit/s interface speed.
