Compact Intel B360 platform for 8th-gen builds

The MSI B360M FIRE is a Micro-ATX motherboard built around the Intel B360 chipset and LGA 1151 socket. It supports 8th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz up to a 32 GB capacity.

Steady operation through the B360 chipset

The board delivers one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for expansion cards. Storage connects through six SATA III ports and a single M.2 interface. The Realtek RTL8111H provides a Gigabit LAN connection for consistent network throughput.

Micro-ATX layout with essential rear I/O

The 23.6 x 20.0 cm form factor fits smaller chassis while exposing four USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports and two USB 2.0 ports on the back panel. Internal headers add two more USB 3.1 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 connections. Audio uses the Realtek ALC887 codec for 7.1-channel output.

Questions about this item

How hot or noisy does the MSI B360M FIRE get when running an 8th Gen Intel Core processor all day?

The board uses the Intel B360 chipset and a 4+2 phase power design that runs cool under typical 8th Gen Intel Core workloads; fan headers let you tune case airflow for quiet operation.

What memory and cooler must I already own to use this LGA 1151 micro-ATX board?

You need DDR4 modules at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz (up to 32 GB total) and any LGA 1151 compatible CPU cooler that fits the 23.6 x 20.0 cm layout.

Will my older SATA SSDs and PCIe 3.0 add-in cards work alongside the B360 chipset?

Yes — six SATA III ports and one M.2 slot handle legacy drives, while one PCIe 3.0 x16 and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots accept older expansion cards.
