MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI6E Motherboard - AMD Ryzen, DDR5, M.2, Wi‑Fi 6E arrives as a compact micro‑ATX powerhouse designed for modern AMD platforms, fully compatible with Socket AM5 processors from the Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series.

This motherboard is built on the AMD B850 chipset and supports DDR5‑SDRAM across four DIMM slots in dual‑channel mode, reaching speeds up to 8200 MHz and a maximum capacity of 256 GB for demanding multitasking and content creation workloads.

Storage flexibility is excellent with three M.2 slots (two supporting PCIe 5.0 x4, one supporting PCIe 4.0 x4) and four SATA III connectors, allowing up to seven drives in total and RAID 0/1/10 support for performance or redundancy configurations.

Connectivity is comprehensive: multiple USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type‑A and Type‑C, USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and four USB 2.0 headers. Networking is handled by a Realtek RTL8126 5 Gigabit Ethernet controller alongside advanced wireless support up to Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4 for low‑latency online gaming and fast transfers.

Expansion options include one PCIe x16 slot compatible with Gen5/Gen4/Gen3 and one PCIe x4 slot, while audio duties are covered by the Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1 channel output. Cooling and lighting are supported with two CPU fan connectors, a water pump header, and three RGB LED pin headers for system customization.

The board offers practical front‑panel support (audio and connectors), a 24‑pin ATX power connector, UEFI AMI BIOS with 256 Mbit memory, ACPI 6.5 compatibility, and Windows 11 x64 support to ensure a smooth user experience and wide OS compatibility.

Ideal use cases include compact gaming rigs, content creation workstations with multiple fast NVMe drives, and home servers requiring high network throughput and RAID options. The black micro‑ATX form factor (243.8 × 243.8 mm) makes it suitable for smaller cases without sacrificing connectivity or performance.
