MSI B360-A PRO Intel B360 Motherboard

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel B360 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket. It accepts 8th generation Intel Core processors along with Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. Dual-channel DDR4 memory is supported up to 64GB at speeds of 2666, 2400 and 2133MHz.

Who this suits and who it does not

Builders planning a mainstream 8th generation Intel system with up to 64GB of DDR4 will find the board a direct fit. It provides two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots running in x16 or x4 modes plus four x1 slots for expansion cards. Users needing newer CPU generations or memory speeds above 2666MHz should consider a different platform.

Sustained-load behaviour

The Realtek ALC892 codec delivers 7.1 channel audio while the Intel I219-V controller handles gigabit networking without extra latency. Rear I/O includes two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports at 10Gbps — one Type-A and one Type-C — alongside two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports. Four additional USB 3.1 Gen1 and six USB 2.0 headers are available internally for front-panel connectivity. Five SATA III ports and one M.2 interface provide storage options for long-running workloads.

Questions about this item

Which 8th generation Intel Core processor socket must I already have for this LGA 1151 board to work?

You need an LGA 1151 socket 8th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold or Celeron processor; the board will not accept other sockets.

Will my existing DDR4 2133 MHz memory run alongside the board's 2666 MHz capability?

Yes, the board supports dual-channel DDR4 at 2666, 2400 and 2133 MHz, so 2133 MHz modules will operate at their rated speed.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC892 audio is delivering 7.1 channel output after setup?

Open the Realtek audio console in Windows, select 7.1 speaker configuration and run the speaker test to hear each channel individually.
