can you put ARGB fans on that mobo? and does it has light sync?

Now I'd figured it out, there's a 2 different type of this board has, the MAX and NON-MAX. that is why I got confused why some featured Picture on the MSI site shows the Different design from what I bought *sigh. This MAX Board featured the Wifi 6E which is the newer version from Wifi 6Ax. Anyways, we have the same version of this board, and I really loving it. Nice Vids Btw!

Thanks. Yeah indeed there are two versions of it. The old one and the new one but as you said the only thing different on the specs is just the wifi version, apart from the new design on the heatsinks.

Hey, nice overview 👍 Do you stull use this mobo? Have you updated to the latest bios version? Also could you please suggest what is the maximum height should I look for heatsink on 2nd ssd below the gpu? Cheers!

@sleanzles

6 ай бұрын

Yes, I still do and on latest BIOS. Sorry but I cannot help you with what's the maximum height of the m.2 heatsink below GPU. The one I'm using is a EZDIY-FAB M.2 SSD heatsink which seem a pretty common height for m.2 heatsinks. Maybe depends on the dual/triple slot GPU you're going to install on how massive their coolers are. So maybe you're better looking on the GPU if the cooler is being too close to the pcie pin connectors.

Check your CPU's how many supported PCI lines. Your ssd uses x2 lines. M2.ssd x4 lines. And GPU x16 lines. So your cpu must be support at least 24 pci lines. İf you have another hdd and pciex components maybe thats the issue...

You install 3 m2.ssd and 1 hdd. So that's 14 pci lines. GPU has x16 lines. 30 lines. But your CPU supports 20 PCI-E 4.0 lanes. How can you do that?

A520M A Pro also supports 3600mhz tru A-XMP mode same way this board does. I suggest to try to update your BIOS to the latest version if it get's stable to support your RAM. If still the same then try increasing the memory voltage by few millivolts increments until it gets stable. I can't guide you through this but this is at your own risk if you want to try before buying a new board. If persist try contacting MSI support first to confirm compatibility issues with your RAM. If you decide to just grab this board then this also support 3600mhz DDR4 tru AXMP. I am also using 3600mhz RAM, Corsair DDR4 3600mhz Vengeance RGB Pro.
