Intel LGA 1150 ATX motherboard

The MSI B85-G41 PC Mate is an ATX motherboard built for Intel processors that use the LGA 1150 socket. It targets system builders assembling a desktop PC around a fourth-generation Core i3, i5 or i7 CPU. Four DDR3 memory slots allow up to 16 GB of system RAM when fully populated.

SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0 limits

The board provides SATA 6 Gb/s ports for mechanical hard drives and SATA SSDs, capping sequential transfer rates at the interface maximum. USB 3.0 headers deliver up to 5 Gb/s bandwidth for external storage or peripherals, while legacy USB 2.0 ports remain available for keyboards and mice. A single PCI Express x16 slot carries graphics traffic at Gen 3 speeds, and additional PCI Express x1 plus classic PCI slots handle add-in cards such as sound or networking.

ATX layout with HDMI and Ethernet

The standard ATX form factor fits most mid-tower and full-tower cases using common mounting hole patterns. An on-board HDMI port lets the integrated graphics drive a display without a discrete card, useful for troubleshooting or basic office work. Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) provides wired network connectivity, and the board includes on-board audio for everyday sound output.
