Socket 1155 Mini-ITX board

The MSI B75IA-E33 is a Mini-ITX motherboard built around the Intel B75 chipset for LGA 1155 processors. It accepts 3rd Gen Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron CPUs. The compact form factor suits small-form-factor builds and embedded applications where space is limited.

16 GB dual-channel DDR3 limit

Four memory speeds are supported from 1066 up to 2400 MHz in dual-channel mode. The board caps total system memory at 16 GB, so workloads that exceed this capacity will require a different platform. Two DIMM slots provide the physical headroom for that maximum.

PCIe 3.0 x16 and SATA mix

A single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot handles discrete graphics or add-in cards at full bandwidth. Storage connects through three SATA II ports and one SATA III port, limiting high-speed SSDs to one 6 Gb/s link. Gigabit LAN and 8-channel audio round out the fixed I/O.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR3 1600 MHz modules run at full speed on the B75IA-E33?

The board supports DDR3 speeds up to 2400 MHz, so 1600 MHz modules will operate at their rated frequency in dual-channel mode up to 16 GB total.

How can I verify the Realtek ALC887 audio is functioning after assembly?

Install the Realtek driver, open the Sound control panel, and confirm 8-channel output is listed and test tones play from each speaker.

Does the box contain everything needed to install the board in a case?

The package includes the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable, and the rear I/O shield; CPU cooler, RAM, and any additional cables must be purchased separately.
