Introduction to the LGA 1200 CPU

The surface of the LGA 1200 CPU has
two notches and a golden triangle to
assist in correctly lining up the CPU for
motherboard placement. The golden
triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.

⚠⚠Important
∙∙ Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing
the CPU.
∙∙ Please retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor. MSI will deal
with Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests if only the motherboard comes
with the protective cap on the CPU socket.
∙∙ When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink
is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
∙∙ Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting
your system.
∙∙ Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure
the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply
an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to
enhance heat dissipation.
∙∙ Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering
the socket with the plastic cap.
∙∙ If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the
documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.
∙∙ This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to
overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate
overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not
recommended. MSI® does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate
operation beyond product specifications.

⚠⚠Important
∙∙ Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.
∙∙ To ensure system stability for Dual channel mode, memory modules must be of the
same type, number and density.
∙∙ Some memory modules may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value
when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial
Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Frequency to set the memory
frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.
∙∙ It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs
installation or overclocking.
∙∙ The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU
and devices when overclocking.
∙∙ Please refer www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.

⚠⚠Important
∙∙ If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI
Gaming Series Graphics Card Bolster to support its weight to prevent deformation of
the slot.
∙∙ When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and
unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion
card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software
changes.

UEFI BIOS
MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
architecture. UEFI has many new functions and advantages that traditional BIOS
cannot achieve, and it will completely replace BIOS in the future. The MSI UEFI
BIOS uses UEFI as the default boot mode to take full advantage of the new chipset’s
capabilities. However, it still has a CSM (Compatibility Support Module) mode to be
compatible with older devices. That allows you to replace legacy devices with UEFI
compatible devices during the transition.

⚠⚠Important
The term BIOS in this user guide refers to UEFI BIOS unless otherwise noted.

UEFI advantages
∙∙ Fast booting - UEFI can directly boot the operating system and save the BIOS self-
test process. And also eliminates the time to switch to CSM mode during POST.
∙∙ Supports for hard drive partitions larger than 2 TB.
∙∙ Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
∙∙ Supports unlimited number of partitions.
∙∙ Supports full capabilities of new devices - new devices may not provide backward
compatibility.
∙∙ Supports secure startup - UEFI can check the validity of the operating system to
ensure that no malware tampers with the startup process.

Incompatible UEFI cases

∙∙ 32-bit Windows operating system - this motherboard supports only Windows 10
64-bit operating system.
∙∙ Older graphics card - the system will detect your graphics card. When display a
warning message There is no GOP (Graphics Output protocol) support detected in
this graphics card.

⚠⚠Important
We recommend that you to use a GOP/ UEFI compatible graphics card.

How to check the BIOS mode?

 RAID Configuration
Below are the different types of a RAID.
RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives.
Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly
improves I/O performance.
RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and
provides enhanced read performance.
RAID 5 provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction
information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance.
RAID 10 uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID 0 and 1 by forming a
RAID 0 array from two RAID 1 arrays.

RAID level comparison
