Socket AM4 DDR4 Micro ATX Board

This MSI B450M Gaming Plus motherboard uses the AMD B450 chipset on a Micro ATX form factor. It accepts first- and second-generation Ryzen CPUs with AM4 pins. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at speeds from 1866 to 3466 MHz with a 32 GB maximum capacity.

Builders Needing Core Features on a Budget

The board suits builders who need one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots, four SATA III ports and a single M.2 interface. Realtek ALC887 provides 7.1-channel audio and Realtek 8111H handles gigabit LAN. Buyers requiring multiple x16 slots or newer chipset features should consider other models.

Maximum 32 GB DDR4 Capacity Decides Fit

The 32 GB memory ceiling is the key figure when matching this board to a planned system. Four DIMM slots support dual-channel kits up to that limit. If the intended workload demands 64 GB or more, this motherboard will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What accessories are included with the board and what must be purchased separately?

The box contains the motherboard, three SATA cables and the rear I/O shield. A CPU, DDR4 memory, storage drives and a power supply are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this board?

The board supports up to 32 GB of dual-channel DDR4 across two slots, so a 2×16 GB kit fills the limit.

What does the 3466 MHz memory rating mean once the system is running?

It is the highest validated DDR4 frequency; actual speed depends on the installed Ryzen processor and the memory modules used.
