Combo AM5 12-core CPU & B850 board

This bundle pairs the MSI MAG B850 GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X processor. The board supports DDR5 memory up to 8200+ MT/s when overclocked across four slots. It provides PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 storage, 5G LAN, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. The CPU delivers 12 cores and 24 threads with a 5.6 GHz maximum boost clock.

Gamers and creators needing high single-thread speed

The 12-core Zen 5 CPU suits gaming, streaming, and content creation workloads that benefit from high clock rates. Builders wanting more than 256 GB memory capacity or additional PCIe lanes for multiple add-in cards should consider a different platform. The B850 chipset provides one PCIe 4.0 x16 and one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for expansion.

8200+ MT/s DDR5 overclock ceiling

The motherboard's Memory Boost design enables DDR5 operation up to 8200+ MT/s when overclocked, which defines the platform's peak memory bandwidth. This figure determines whether the board matches your performance targets for latency-sensitive applications. The CPU's native DDR5-5600 support sets the baseline without manual tuning.
