MSI B350 PCMate, AMD B350 motherboard socket AM4

 The advanced AMD X370, B350 and A320 chipsets for the enthusiast, mainstream and base segment provide many modern I / O interfaces and connections for peripherals, while additional data lines are directly controlled by the CPU or APU.

AMD Logo AM4 motherboards also support fast and energy-efficient DDR4 memory in dual channel mode, depending on the board, even with ECC error correction support. The highly developed Zen microarchitecture and the associated AM4 platform form the ideal basis for powerful systems in any application.
Features of the MSI B350 PC Mate in ATX format

The MSI B350 PC Mate is a motherboard in ATX format and has graphics cards with a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection. There is also a PCIe 2.0 slot with x4 / x2 connection as well as two PCIe x1 slots and two PCI slots for other expansion cards. Up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory take up the four RAM banks, with corresponding memory running at a maximum of 3,200 overclocked megahertz. The internal connection repertoire includes, among other things, two headers for USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 for 4 ports each.

Such as SSDs and hard disks, the board is managed by four SATA 6G connectors (including RAID support), as well as a horizontal M.2 slot, which is connected to four PCI Express 3.0 lanes, enabling enormous speeds up to To 32 Gbit / s. M.2 SSDs of 42 to 110 mm in length can be used, as well as the advanced NVM Express protocol, which has been specifically optimized for highly parallelized data carrier accesses to modern PCIe SSDs.

A small highlight on the MSI B350 PC Mate is that the I / O panel on the back of the motherboard has a USB 3.0 connector with a Type C connector and three USB 3.0 connectors with a Type A connector are located. The new USB type C port is especially thin and can be inserted at both ends. USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 achieves maximum speeds of 5 Gbit / s per port.

Last but not least, five fans with a 4-pin PWM connector and a water cooling pump can be connected directly to the board. On the mainboard, additional devices and components can be connected to the MSI B350 PC Mate via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, universal PS / 2 or six audio jacks for 7.1 sound via the I / O shield. In addition, two monitor outputs are available for display via an integrated APU graphics unit (optional): HDMI, VGA and DVI-D.

AMD Socket AM4 Compatibility Note:

Because AM4 (+), AM3 (+) or FM2 (+) predecessors AM4 (+), AM4 (+), AM4 (+) AMC connectors are compatible with compatible AM4 mount sets. CPU coolers attached directly to the motherboards retention module are fully compatible.
