MSI H170A PC Mate, Intel H170 Mainboard - Socket 1151

Due to the support for rapid and economical DDR4 memory and further optimizations Skylake processors need, including a new base and new chipsets. As an all-chipset from the performance segment, the technology is based on the top model Z170, is the H170 chipset provides all 16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes.
 
This offers the motherboard manufacturers a choice of configurations: from a maximum of 14 possible USB ports, up to eight ports support the rapid 3.0 standard, and up to two M.2 slots are provided. These can be operated with up to four PCIe 3.0 lines per M.2 slot, which has a bandwidth of approximately 4 GB / s per slot means and the use of several extremely fast M.2 SSDs allows. In addition, up to six terminals of the SATA standards and 6G-SATA-Express can be provided.
 
When MSI H170A PC Mate is a well-equipped H170 gaming mainboard in ATX format especially for fast quad-core processors the Core i7 or Core i5 series represents an ideal base. The black mainboard with large, accented heatsinks has four DIMM slots for DDR4 memory in fast dual-channel mode. For graphics cards provides the board a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot ready and another slot is connected in x16 format with four lanes in the PCIe 3.0 standard to the chipset. For more cards, three PCIe x1 slots and two PCI slots available.
 
If a graphics card is present, can be thanks to the integrated graphics processor a Skylake CPU monitors connected directly to the back of the motherboard – this stand with HDMI, DVI-D and VGA three ports. The MSI motherboard convinced bargain among others with excellent 5.1 sound, a SATA-Express connectivity, six SATA 6G ports, two USB 3.1 ports, six USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports, five fan connectors depending a Parellel port, COM and TPM header, and a Gigabit LAN controller with Realtek RTL8111H chipset.
