Socket LGA 1151 micro-ATX board

The MSI B365M PLUS is an Intel B365 motherboard built for LGA 1151 processors. It accepts 8th and 9th generation Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs in a compact micro-ATX form factor. The board provides essential connectivity for mainstream desktop builds.

Home and office builds, not high-end overclocking

This board suits users assembling a general-purpose PC for productivity, media playback or light gaming. Builders who need multiple graphics cards, heavy overclocking headroom or more than two memory slots should consider a larger chipset platform.

32 GB DDR4 ceiling with dual-channel support

Two DDR4 slots support up to 32 GB total at speeds of 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz in dual-channel mode. Non-ECC unbuffered modules and XMP profiles are supported. The 32 GB limit means memory-intensive workloads will hit a hard ceiling.

Questions about this item

Which CPU socket must my processor match to work with this board?

The board uses the LGA 1151 socket, so your processor must be an 8th or 9th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold or Celeron in that package.

Will my existing DDR4 2400 MHz modules run at their rated speed on this board?

Yes, the board supports DDR4 2133, 2400 and 2666 MHz, so 2400 MHz modules will operate at their native frequency in dual-channel mode.

How can I confirm the 7.1 channel audio is active after I build the system?

Open the Realtek audio control panel in Windows and verify the speaker configuration shows 7.1 channels with all channels passing the test tones.
