MSI B450M Mortar, AMD B450 Motherboard - Socket AM4 [7B89-001R]

 In addition, the motherboards support up to 64 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock speed of 2,933 megahertz. By means of overclocking, much higher clock rates are possible, depending on the motherboard, and the B450 chipset also enables overclocking of the processor.

The features of the MSI B450M Mortar at a glance:
- 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16) for high-end graphics cards
- 2x USB 3.1 (1x Type C & 1x Type A) / 6x USB 3.0 / 6x USB 2.0
- 2x M.2 slot PCIe 3.0 x4 / 4x SATA 6G
- DDR4 memory up to 3,466 MHz using OC
- 1x DisplayPort & 1x HDMI

The equipment of the MSI B450M Mortar in detail:
The MSI B450M Mortar Micro ATX motherboard features a PCI Express 3.0 full x16 connector for graphics cards and an x4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. For additional expansion cards, the motherboard provides two PCIe x1 slots. The four RAM banks support up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory with a clock rate of up to 2,933 megahertz and can even handle clock rates of up to 3,466 MHz per OC.

Two M.2 slots with PCIe connection are provided by the AM4 motherboard. M.2 SSDs with the advanced NVM Express protocol (NVMe) and four PCI Express 3.0 lane connectivity are up to eight times faster than SATA 6G hard drives and support data transfer rates of up to 32 Gb / s. s.

The MSI B450M Mortar provides a Type-3.1 USB 3.1 port on the I / O panel and a USB 3.1 Type-A port. The USB Type-C port can be plugged on both sides and is particularly thin. USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbps per port, and USB ports with this standard typically support the quick-charging feature of smartphones and tablets. For CPUs with integrated graphics, such as the Raven Ridge series, there is also a DisplayPort and an HDMI slot.

The MSI B450M Mortar also has two 4-pin headers for static addressable RGB elements. In addition, there are a total of four 4-pin connectors for PWM fans, which can also be equipped with 3-pin fan. A highlight of this motherboard is certainly the chic red LED lighting next to the RAM sockets. The effects can be controlled via MSI's Mystic Light software.
