⚠ Important
●
When changing the processor, the system configuration could be cleared and reset
BIOS to default values, due to the AM5 processor’s architecture.
●
Please ensure that the motherboard and power supply are turned off and always
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the
CPU.
●
Please retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor. MSI will deal with
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests if only the motherboard comes
with the protective cap on the CPU socket.
●
Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering
the socket with the protective cap.
●
The CPU should only fit in one orientation, so do not force it. Gently place the CPU
into the socket without applying excessive pressure.
●
Please handle the CPU by the edges only; avoid touching the pins or the surface of
the CPU. Any damage to the pins can result in a malfunctioning CPU.
●
When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is
necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
●
Please install the CPU cooler according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make
sure it is securely a tight seal with the CPU and attached to the motherboard to
ensure proper heat dissipation.
●
Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure the
cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an
even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to
enhance heat dissipation.
●
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to
overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate
overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not
recommended. MSI® does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate
operation beyond product specifications.

⚠ Important
●
Align the notch on the DDR5 module with the notch on the memory slot to ensure
proper orientation. Do not force the module into the slot; it should slide in easily if
properly aligned.
●
To ensure system stability for Dual channel mode, memory modules must be of the
same type, number and density.
●
Some memory modules may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value
when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial
Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Speed to set the memory
frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.
●
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs
installation or overclocking.
●
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU
and devices when overclocking.
●
Please refer to www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.

PCI_E1~4: PCIe Expansion Slots
PCI Express (PCIe) expansion slots are used to connect add-on cards to the
motherboard. These cards can provide additional functionality to your computer, such
as graphics, networking, or storage.
⚠ Important
●
If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI
Graphics Card Bolster to support its weight to prevent deformation of the slot.
●
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using
the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.
●
When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and
unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion
card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software
changes.
32

UEFI BIOS
MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
architecture. UEFI has many new functions and advantages that traditional BIOS
cannot achieve, and it will completely replace BIOS in the future. The MSI UEFI BIOS
uses UEFI as the default boot mode to take full advantage of the new chipset’s
capabilities. However, it still has a CSM (Compatibility Support Module) mode to be
compatible with older devices. That allows you to replace legacy devices with UEFI
compatible devices during the transition.
⚠ Important
The term BIOS in this user guide refers to UEFI unless otherwise noted.
UEFI advantages
●
Fast booting - UEFI can directly boot the operating system and save the BIOS self-test
process. And also eliminates the time to switch to CSM mode during POST.
●
Supports for hard drive partitions larger than 2 TB.
●
Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
●
Supports unlimited number of partitions.
●
Supports full capabilities of new devices - new devices may not provide backward
compatibility.
●
Supports secure startup - UEFI can check the validity of the operating system to
ensure that no malware tampers with the startup process.
⚠ Important
We recommend that you replace it with a graphics card supporting GOP/UEFI or use
CPU with integrated graphics for having normal function.
55
BIOS Setup
