Socket AM2 Platform

This MSI K9N Neo V3 motherboard uses the nVIDIA nForce 560 chipset on an ATX form factor. It is built for Socket AM2 processors and accepts dual-channel DDR2 memory at 533, 667 or 800 speeds up to 8GB total capacity.

DDR2 Memory Support

The board runs dual-channel DDR2 at 533, 667 and 800 speeds with a maximum of 8GB. This single specification decides whether the module fits and runs at the rated frequency.

Thermals and Power

The nForce 560 chipset draws modest power in normal operation. Standard case airflow keeps the board at typical temperatures without extra cooling. A single 100 cm SATA cable is included for drive connection.

Questions about this item

What does the 800 figure mean for memory speed once the board is in a working PC?

The board supports DDR2 modules rated at 800 MT/s and will run them in dual-channel mode when two matched sticks are installed.

How does the SATA interface limit the drives I can connect?

Four SATA II ports are provided, each capped at 3 Gb/s, so any SATA drive will work but cannot exceed that transfer ceiling.

What physical space and mounting pattern does this motherboard need?

It follows the ATX form factor, so it requires a case with ATX mounting holes and an I/O shield cut-out.
