- Does it support Ryzen 5000 processors?
- MSI lists Ryzen 9, 7, 5 and 3 support on AM4, and later BIOS versions add Ryzen 5000 chips. Check the BIOS version before installing a newer CPU.
- Can I use two monitors?
- Yes, if your Ryzen chip has integrated graphics. The board has HDMI 2.0b and DVI outputs, so you can run two displays without a graphics card.
- How much RAM can it take?
- Two DDR4 slots hold up to 64 GB total, with speeds up to 4133 MHz. Most buyers run 16 GB or 32 GB in a two-stick kit.
- Does it have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
- No. Networking is a single RJ45 LAN port, so you need an Ethernet cable or a separate Wi-Fi card or USB adapter.
- What M.2 drives fit?
- The M.2 slot is M key and takes 2242, 2280 and 22110 drives. It runs over PCIe 3.0, so Gen 4 drives work but at Gen 3 speeds.
- Is it good for overclocking?
- Only lightly. The VRM and passive cooling are basic, so it suits stock speeds or mild overclocks on Ryzen 3 and 5 rather than pushing a Ryzen 9.
