MSI B250 Krait Gaming motherboard

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel B250 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket for 6th and 7th generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium and Celeron processors. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory at 2400 or 2133 MHz up to 64 GB. Three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots provide expansion options. Storage connects through two M.2 interfaces and six SATA III ports.

Installation notes

The board follows standard ATX mounting points and uses a conventional 24-pin ATX plus 8-pin CPU power layout. Memory installs in four DDR4 slots with clear keying. M.2 drives secure with a single screw each; ensure the standoff matches the drive length. The rear I/O shield is included. Common issues include forgetting to update the BIOS for 7th generation CPU support and leaving the CPU power cable unseated.

Suitability

Builders upgrading an existing LGA 1151 system or assembling a budget DDR4 platform with multiple graphics cards will find the slot layout and storage count useful. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of memory, newer Intel sockets or integrated Wi-Fi should look elsewhere. The single Gigabit LAN port limits multi-homed network setups.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Realtek 7.1 channel audio is working after I install the motherboard?

Open the Realtek Audio Console in Windows, select the 7.1 speaker configuration, run the speaker test and verify sound plays from each channel.

Which accessories are included in the box and what must I supply myself?

The package contains the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the chassis I/O back panel; you must provide the CPU, DDR4 memory, storage drives, power supply and case.

Should I choose a 2400 MHz or 2133 MHz DDR4 kit for this board?

Both speeds are supported in dual-channel mode up to 64 GB; 2400 MHz modules will run at their rated speed while 2133 MHz modules run at the lower frequency.
