MSI B460M-A PRO Intel Motherboard

This Micro ATX motherboard uses the Intel B460 chipset and an LGA 1200 socket to support 10th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It provides a compact foundation for office or home systems that need reliable performance without a full-size chassis.

DDR4 Memory and PCIe 3.0 Limits

Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz with a maximum capacity of 64 GB. The board offers one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, so expansion is limited to a single graphics card and two additional add-in cards.

Upgrade Path from B360 LGA 1151 Platforms

Moving from an Intel B360 board with an LGA 1151 socket requires a new CPU and memory kit, but delivers native USB 3.1 Gen1 connectivity including a Type-C port, six SATA III ports, one M.2 interface, 7.1-channel Realtek ALC887 audio and RTL8111H Gigabit LAN. The jump is worthwhile when building a fresh 10th Generation system that needs modern rear I/O and the smaller Micro ATX footprint.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 64 GB maximum memory configuration for this board?

The board supports up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4 at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz; populate two slots for best performance.

What does the 2666 MHz memory rating deliver once the board is running?

Official support tops out at DDR4 2666 MHz in dual-channel mode; faster modules will run at this speed unless the processor memory controller allows higher.

Which PCIe generation does the x16 slot use and what bandwidth does that cap?

The single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot provides up to 16 GT/s per lane, limiting graphics and add-in cards to Gen 3 bandwidth.
