Board and I/O shield only

This MSI B360 GAMING PLUS motherboard uses the Intel B360 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket in an ATX form factor. It is supplied as a manufacturer tested board with an I/O shield and no other accessories. The unit is new and intended for desktop builds that require this specific platform.

Builders using 8th or 9th generation Intel Core

This board suits builders assembling a system around a compatible LGA 1151 CPU with DDR4 memory up to 64 GB. It is not for buyers who need a newer socket, a smaller form factor such as micro-ATX, or integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and one M.2 slot

The board provides one full-length PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for a graphics card and a single M.2 slot for storage. This layout decides whether the platform supports the expansion cards and drives your build requires.

Questions about this item

How do I install the I/O shield on this ATX board and what step is often missed?

Snap the shield into the case cut-out from the inside before lowering the board, then align the nine mounting holes with the standoffs and secure each with a screw.

What maintenance will the DDR4 memory slots need over time?

Reseat modules if the system fails to POST after moves, and blow dust from the slots with compressed air once a year to keep contacts clean.

Which limit appears first when the single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot runs at full load for hours?

The slot’s 3.0 bandwidth ceiling caps sustained throughput, so GPU compute or storage cards cannot exceed that link speed.
