MSI MAG X570S Torpedo Max DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The MSI MAG X570S Torpedo Max is a full-size ATX motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset for Socket AM4 processors. It supports AMD Ryzen 5000 Series, 5000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 3000 Series, 3000 G-Series, 2000 Series, and 2000 G-Series desktop processors, making it a versatile platform for a broad range of AMD Ryzen builds. Memory capacity is handled by four DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 128 GB in dual-channel, non-ECC unbuffered configuration. JEDEC-rated speeds begin at 1866 MHz and extend to 3200 MHz natively, while A-XMP overclocking profiles can reach up to 5100 MHz (OC) under select single-rank, single-DIMM-per-channel conditions. Storage connectivity is generous: two Key-M M.2 slots (M2_1 supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA; M2_2 supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA from the chipset) are paired with six SATA 6 Gb/s ports and RAID 0, 1, and 10 support. M.2 Shield Frozr thermal covers protect NVMe drives from throttling. For graphics, the primary PCIe x16 slot (from the CPU) operates at PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 x16, while a second x16 physical slot (from the chipset) runs at PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 x4. Two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots round out expansion. AMD CrossFire multi-GPU configurations are supported. Note: PCIe 4.0 is only available with Ryzen 5000 Series and 3000 Series non-G processors. Networking features dual wired LAN: a Realtek 8125B 2.5 Gbps controller and a Realtek RTL8111H 1 Gbps controller, giving builders flexible network options without needing an add-in card. The rear panel also includes an HDMI 2.1 output for APU-equipped builds. USB connectivity combines resources from both the processor and chipset: back-panel ports include USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C (10 Gbps), USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps), and USB 2.0, supplemented by internal headers for additional ports. Audio is delivered via a Realtek ALC4080 codec with 7.1-channel HD audio and optical S/PDIF output. RGB enthusiasts will find two 4-pin RGB and two 3-pin addressable LED headers, four EZ Debug LEDs for rapid fault diagnosis, an EZ LED Control switch, and MSI Mystic Light support for 16.8 million colour options and 29 effects.
