Socket AM4 foundation

The MSI B350M BAZOOKA is a Micro ATX board built on the AMD B350 chipset for Socket AM4 processors. It supports first- and second-generation Ryzen CPUs as well as A-series and Athlon chips with AM4 pins. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at speeds from 1866 up to 3200 (OC) MHz with a maximum capacity of 64GB.

Thermals and power in daily use

The board draws power through standard ATX and CPU connectors and runs without active chipset cooling. The Realtek ALC892 audio codec and Realtek 8111H Gigabit LAN operate at low wattage, keeping system noise dependent only on the CPU cooler and case fans you choose. No onboard fan headers beyond the CPU and chassis connectors are detailed in the specifications.

Upgrade path from older platforms

This motherboard replaces AM3+ or FM2+ boards when moving to a Ryzen or updated A-series processor. The single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot runs at x16 with Ryzen and x8 with 7th-generation A-series or Athlon CPUs. Two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots, four SATA III ports and one M.2 interface provide storage and add-in flexibility. Eight USB 2.0 and two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports handle peripherals without extra controllers.
