PCI_E1~4: PCIe Expansion Slots Slots PCI_E1 (CPU) PCI_E2 (Chipset) PCI_E3 (Chipset) PCI_E4 (Chipset) AMD Ryzen™ 5000/ 3000 series processors PCIe 4.0 x16 PCIe 3.0 x1 PCIe 4.0 x4 PCIe 3.0 x1 AMD Ryzen™ 5000 G-/ 4000 G-/ 2000 series processors PCIe 3.0 x16 PCIe 3.0 x1 PCIe 3.0 x4 PCIe 3.0 x1 AMD Ryzen™ 3000 G-/ 2000 G- series processors PCIe 3.0 x8 PCIe 3.0 x1 PCIe 3.0 x4 PCIe 3.0 x1 ⚠⚠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. ∙∙For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended. ∙∙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. SATA1~6: SATA 6Gb/s Connectors These connectors are SATA 6Gb/s interface ports. Each connector can connect to one SATA device. SATA2 SATA1 SATA4 SATA3 SATA6 SATA5 ⚠⚠Important ∙∙Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during transmission otherwise. ∙∙SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space saving purposes. ∙∙SATA5 and SATA6 will be unavailable when installing M.2 PCIe SSD in the M2_3 slot.
