B460 Chipset LGA 1200 Micro ATX Board

This MSI B460M-X motherboard uses the Intel B460 chipset and an LGA 1200 socket. It accepts 10th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. The board supports dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 2933 MHz and a maximum capacity of 64 GB. Its Micro ATX form factor measures 23.6 by 20.0 cm.

Suits 10th Gen Intel Builds Only

The socket and chipset limit this board to 10th Gen Intel CPUs; it will not work with newer or older processor families. Builders needing PCIe 4.0 lanes, CPU overclocking or Wi-Fi should choose a different platform. The single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two x1 slots cover basic graphics and add-in cards.

64 GB DDR4 2933 MHz Memory Ceiling

Four DDR4 slots top out at 64 GB running at 2933 MHz in dual-channel mode. Faster modules will downclock to this speed, so buying higher-rated RAM adds no benefit. Confirm your kit matches this limit before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What size case cut-out does the 23.6 × 20.0 cm micro-ATX board need?

The board follows the standard micro-ATX footprint of 23.6 cm by 20.0 cm and uses the regular six mounting holes, so any case with a micro-ATX tray will accept it.

Which cables must be connected during installation so the system actually posts?

Seat the CPU, latch the DDR4 modules until the clips click, plug the 24-pin ATX and the 8-pin EPS power connectors, attach the front-panel header wires to the JFP1 pins, and connect a display to the graphics card in the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot.

What will need replacement first during the board's service life?

The onboard button cell that keeps the real-time clock and CMOS settings will eventually run down; when the date resets or BIOS settings disappear, replace that cell to restore normal operation.
