Manufacturer specification · Supported capacity, module population and profile speeds depend on the exact CPU, installed BIOS and validated memory kit. Profile support does not guarantee an overclock.
MSI specifies Intel XMP 3.0. The overclocked speed is MSI's 1DPC 1R maximum; MSI lists 1DPC 2R up to 7200+, 2DPC 1R up to 6400+ and 2DPC 2R up to 5600+ MT/s. · Manufacturer specification · CPU, BIOS and validated DIMM population determine supported capacity and speeds; MSI states compatibility and speeds vary with CPU and memory configuration. DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable.
Plan the complete platform. Check the exact CPU-support list, required BIOS and memory validation before buying. PCIe generations and lane allocations can change with the processor. A socket match or slot count is not a guarantee that every component works together at its highest advertised setting.
