Designed to help simplify builds, MSI's EZ technology makes it easy to install one M.2 PCIe 5.0 and two PCIe 4.0 SSDs to store your games library, applications, and important files. There are also four SATA III connectors available. The four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB, reaching up to 8200 MT/s overclocked speeds. With one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4 mode) slot, and two PCIe 3.0 x16 (x1 mode) slots, you can install powerful graphics cards and other compatible expansions.

The rear panel features two USB-C and one USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port that can transfer up to 10 Gb/s with compatible devices. There is also a 5 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port in addition to four USB 2.0 ports. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 5 Gb/s Ethernet port provide you with connections to compatible network devices for smooth 8K video streaming and low-latency online games. Windows 11 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.
