AM4 ATX Motherboard with Dual M.2 Slots

This new MSI X470 GAMING PLUS MAX motherboard uses the AMD X470 chipset on an ATX form factor. It provides an AM4 socket and two M.2 slots for storage expansion. The board includes an I/O shield, two SATA cables and aftermarket Wi-Fi antennas where applicable. It is suited for builders assembling a desktop system on the AMD AM4 platform.

Ideal for AM4 System Builds

This board suits builders who need an ATX motherboard with AM4 socket and dual M.2 capability. It is not for buyers who require a smaller micro-ATX or mini-ITX form factor for a compact case. It is also not for users who need integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth as standard features, since only aftermarket antennas are supplied if applicable.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot Determines GPU Choice

The single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot dictates which graphics cards can be installed at full bandwidth. Buyers planning a multi-GPU configuration or requiring a newer PCIe 4.0 interface should look at a different motherboard. This specification is the primary factor in deciding whether the board matches the intended graphics hardware.

Questions about this item

Will the two M.2 slots on this X470 GAMING PLUS MAX need any firmware updates or physical maintenance later?

The board ships with two M.2 slots ready for drives; no firmware schedule or physical upkeep is required for the slots themselves.

What thermal limit appears first when the X470 chipset runs sustained loads?

The X470 chipset heatsink is passively cooled, so chipset temperature under continuous load is the first limit you will encounter.

How much fan noise or extra power draw should I expect from the AM4 VRM area during all-day operation?

The AM4 VRM uses passive heatsinks, so it adds no fan noise and only the normal CPU power draw during extended use.
