LGA 1151 Micro ATX board

This MSI B250M BAZOOKA motherboard uses the Intel B250 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket. It fits Micro ATX cases and supports 7th and 6th generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium and Celeron processors. Maximum memory capacity is 64GB across DDR4 2400 or 2133 modules.

Builders on a legacy platform

The board suits anyone keeping a 6th or 7th generation Intel CPU running in a compact chassis. It provides one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, six SATA III ports and a single M.2 interface. Builders needing newer sockets, more expansion lanes or integrated Wi-Fi should look at something else.

Straightforward drop-in install

The package includes the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and an I/O back panel. Align the board with Micro ATX standoffs, secure it, attach the CPU cooler and connect front-panel headers. Common issues are forgetting the 8-pin CPU power connector or seating RAM in the wrong slots for dual-channel operation.
