LGA 1151 Micro ATX platform

This MSI B150M NIGHT ELF board fits LGA 1151 processors from the 6th generation Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium and Celeron families. It uses the Intel B150 chipset in a Micro ATX layout. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at 2133MHz up to 64GB total capacity. The board delivers 7.1 channel audio through a Realtek ALC1150 codec and wired networking via an Intel I219 Gigabit controller.

Builder fit check

The platform suits cost-focused builders upgrading or repairing an existing LGA 1151 system. It provides two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots operating in x16 or x4 modes plus two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for expansion cards. Six SATA III ports handle storage arrays. USB connectivity includes six USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and six USB 2.0 ports split between rear panel and internal headers. Buyers needing newer CPU generations, different socket types or memory speeds beyond 2133MHz should select another board.

DDR4 2133MHz 64GB limit

The memory subsystem caps at 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 at 2133MHz. This single specification decides whether the board matches the planned RAM kit and capacity target. Exceeding this speed or capacity is not supported by the chipset.

Questions about this item

Does the MSI B150M NIGHT ELF come with everything needed to install it?

The package includes the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the chassis I/O back panel. CPU, memory, storage, cooler and power supply are not included.

The board supports up to 64GB of DDR4 2133MHz — how should I decide between 16GB and 64GB?

16GB suits mainstream gaming and office work. 64GB helps with heavy multitasking, content creation or virtualisation workloads.

What does the 64GB maximum memory figure mean once the board is in a working PC?

You can populate four DDR4 slots with up to 64GB total running at 2133MHz in dual-channel mode, provided the CPU and modules support that capacity.
