MSI X470 Gaming Pro Max, AMD X470 mainboard, socket AM4 [7B79-007R]

The high-end chipset supports up to 64 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock speed of 2,933 megahertz, although significantly higher clock speeds can be achieved in conjunction with OC-RAM kits. In addition, the X470 chipset is compatible with all new features of the third-generation Ryzen processors and benefits from further optimizations, such as clock rates up to 4,133 MHz.

The features of the MSI X470 Gaming Pro Max at a glance:
- 2x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16 / x8) for high-end graphics cards
- RGB LED lighting, Diagnostic LEDs
- 2x USB 3.1 / 8x USB 3.0 / 6x USB 2.0
- 2x M.2 slot PCIe 3.0 x4 / 6x SATA 6G
- DDR4 memory up to 4,133 MHz

The equipment of the MSI X470 Gaming Pro Max in detail:
The MSI X470 Gaming Pro Max is a motherboard in ATX format and has a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection for graphics cards, one with x8 connection, one PCI Express 2.0 slot with x4- Connection and three PCI Express 2.0 slots with x1 connection. The four RAM banks hold up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM with a clock rate of up to 2,933 megahertz and, in combination with a third-generation Ryzen CPU, can even handle clock rates of up to 4,133 MHz via OC.

The socket AM4 mainboard provides two M.2 slots with PCIe connection, one of which is connected via PCIe 3.0. M.2 SSDs connected via four PCI Express 3.0 lanes in conjunction with the advanced NVM Express protocol (NVMe) support data transfer rates of up to 32 Gbit / s and are thus up to eight times faster than SATA-6G HDDs. The second M.2 slot is connected with four lanes via PCIe 2.0 and supports the SATA protocol.

On the I / O panel of the MSI X470 Gaming Pro Max there are two USB 3.1 ports with a Type A socket. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port and USB ports with this standard support the quick charging function of smartphones and tablets. There is also a PS / 2 slot that can accommodate either a mouse or keyboard. There is also an HDMI and a DVI-D connector for CPUs with an integrated graphics unit.
