Overview of Components
Important
y
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.
y
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using
the
PCI_E2
slot is recommended.
y
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.
y
Only when both PCIe x1 slots are empty, this motherboard could support AMD
®
CrossFire™ technology.
