PCI_E1~4: PCIe Expansion Slots
PCI_E1: PCIe 3.0 x1 (From Z590 chipset)
PCI_E2: PCIe 4.0 x16 (From CPU)
PCI_E4: PCIe 3.0 x4 (From Z590 chipset)
PCI_E3: PCIe 3.0 x1 (From Z590 chipset)
⚠
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_E2 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.
∙
PCI_E2 will only support x8 speed, when M2_2 and M2_3 are from CPU.
∙
PCI_E4 and M2_4 share the same bandwidth, if you want to use both of them
simultaneously, the PCI_E4 will only support x1 speed and the M2_4 will only support
x2 speed. But if you want to install and enable the graphics card in PCI_E4 slot, the
M2_4 slot should be empty.
