MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus, AMD X570 Motherboard - Socket AM4 [7C37-004R]

PCIe 4.0 is backwards compatible and can be used with all previous generations of expansion cards. Each PCIe 4.0 lane has twice the data transfer rate compared to PCIe 3.0, so an NVMe SSD connected via four PCIe 4.0 lanes can achieve a theoretical read / write speed of up to 7.8 GB / s. Each motherboard with the X570 chipset is also suitable for all other AMD CPU series for the socket AM4.

Attention: The following PCIe lane specifications, M.2 slot connectivity and PCIe slot connectivity refers to the combination of the X570 chipset with a third generation Ryzen CPU (Ryzen 3000 / Zen 2 / Matisse) !

The features of the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus motherboard at a glance:
- A total of 4 RGB LED headers for connecting z. B. RGB strips
- Maximum 128 GB of DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz (4,400 MHz in OC)
- 1x M.2 slot with x4 PCIe 4.0 connection directly to the CPU
- Another M.2 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 connection via the chipset
- 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots for high-end graphics cards
- USB on the I / O panel: 2x USB 2.0 / 1x USB 3.1 type A / 1x USB 3.1 type C / 4x USB 3.0 type A
- Internal USB ports: 4x USB 2.0 / 4x USB 3.0
- A total of 6x 4-pin PWM headers for fans and pumps

The MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus in detail:
For graphics cards, an PCIe 4.0 slot in x16 format is available, which is directly connected to the Ryzen 3000 processor via a total of 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes. Another PCIe x16 slot is connected to the chipset via 4 lanes (PCIe 4.0 at Ryzen 3000, PCIe 3.0 for all predecessor generations). For plug-in and expansion cards there are also three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots available, two of which can be used at the same time.

The Ryzen 3000 CPUs provide four PCIe 4.0 lanes for direct connection to NVMe SSDs. This X570 motherboard uses these four lanes to connect a single M.2 slot to NVMe SSDs. In addition to another M.2 slot with x4 connection, six SATA 6G ports are also provided via the X570 chipset.
Faster connections thanks to PCI-Express 4.0
On the I / O panel, the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus offers two USB 3.1 ports, once with Type C and once with Type A female. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port, and USB ports with this standard generally support the fast-charging function of smartphones and tablets, while the novel type-C USB port is very thin and can be inserted on both sides. In addition, there is an HDMI 1.4 connection for AMD CPUs with integrated Vega graphics.

There is also a 1 Gigabit LAN port (Realtek 8111H), on-board sound (Realtek ALC1220 Audio Codec), a reinforced PCIe slot and numerous internal headers. With Bo (a) rd are an optimized power supply, a CMOS jumper, a BIOS flashback button and a support for RAM kits up to 128 GB.

RGB LED components can be connected and controlled via two 4-pin RGB (12V) headers and two 3-pin digitally addressable RGB headers (5V), as long as they are compatible with the motherboard's RGB software.
