MSI B150A Gaming Pro, Intel B150 Motherboard Socket 1151 [7978-003R]

Skylake CPUs are especially economical in energy consumption as a direct predecessor models and are equipped with an improved integrated graphics processor. A maximum of twelve USB ports, six support the fast 3.0 standard from which to be able to be provided on the B150 motherboards. For hard drives and SSDs are up to six ports in SATA 6G standard prepared from these, up to two ports are used for connection with SATA Express. As a small highlight many B150 boards offer a slot for extremely fast M.2 SSDs.

When MSI B150A Gaming Pro is a well-equipped B150 gaming mainboard in ATX format, which represents an ideal basis for especially fast quad-core processors of the Core i7 or Core i5 series of Intel. The black with red accents motherboard has four DIMM slots for the thrifty DDR4 memory in fast dual-channel mode. Insertion and expansion cards come with two PCIe x1 slots and three PCI slots, while the board for graphics cards a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and another slot in x16 format provides, with four lanes in PCIe 3.0 standard is connected.

For the video output of the built-in Skylake CPU GPU are two terminals at disposal at the back of the motherboard with HDMI and DVI. Among the many features of the MSI motherboards include an integrated Gigabit LAN port with Intel I219-V chipset, excellent 7.1 sound, a SATA Express interface, SATA 6G six ports, two USB 3.1 ports, six USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, five fan connectors, depending on a COM and TPM header and a chassis intrusion connector.
