MSI 970A Gaming Pro Carbon, AMD 970 Mainboards - Socket AM3 + [7992-001R]

AMD AM3 + platform with USB 3.1 Type C / Type A and M.2 for PCIe SSDs

Up to 32 GB of DDR3 RAM take up the four RAM banks, whereby corresponding memory can run with a maximum of 2.133 overclocked megahertz. A small highlight on the MSI 970A Gaming Pro Carbon is that two brand-new USB 3.1 connectors with Type A and Type C connectors are provided by the ASMedia at the I / O panel on the back of the motherboard ASM1143 Additional chip. The new USB type C port is particularly thin and can be inserted at both ends. USB 3.1 generally is twice as fast as USB 3.0 with maximum achievable speeds of 10 Gbps per port.

Data storage media such as SSDs and hard disks, the board manages over six SATA 6G connectors (including RAID support) as well as a horizontal M.2 slot that is connected to a maximum of four PCI Express 2.0 lanes, thus delivering tremendously high speeds Up to 20 Gbit / s. M.2 SSDs of 30 to 80 mm length can be used. The M.2 port shares its data lines with two of the PCIe x1 slots, so that the latter can be used simultaneously when using an M.2 SSD with x2 connection. This motherboard also supports the AMD FX processors of the 9000 series with their TDP of 220 watts thanks to their powerful power supply.
Expandable LED lighting & premium sound

The Soundboost 3 functionality with the Nahimic Sound Enhancer 2, the stabilizing "Steel Armor", the generously dimensioned passive cooler with stylish LED lighting, Click BIOS 5 for easy fine tuning of the system and the MSI Gaming App for Easy overclocking and the Mystic Light App for multiple light effects with over 16.8 million colors plus 17 LED effects. The "Mystic Light" LED illumination of the chipset chiller can also be extended by a further 12-volt LED strips (3A) in the housing, which can be connected directly to the 4-pin RGB header of the mainboard. Two extension cables are already included in the delivery.

The other connector repertoire includes eight USB 2.0 ports, six 3.5 mm audio connectors, and an optical S / PDIF output for 7.1 sound as well as one Gigabit LAN. They are internally supplemented by three USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 headers. Two ports are supported by each header (= up to 6x USB 2.0 and 4x USB 3.0 for I / O panel or cardreader). Finally, a total of five fans can be connected to the board, two of them via 3-pin and three with a 4-pin PWM connector.
