Introduction to the AM4 CPU
The surface of the AM4 CPU has a
yellow triangle to assist in correctly
lining up the CPU for motherboard
placement. The yellow triangle is
the Pin 1 indicator.
Important
y
When changing the processor, the system configuration could be cleared and reset
BIOS to default values, due to the AM4 processor’s architecture.
y
Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing
the CPU.
y
When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink
is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
y
Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting
your system.
y
Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure
the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply
an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to
enhance heat dissipation.
y
If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the
documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.
y
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to
overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate
overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not
recommended. MSI

Important
y
Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.
y
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
than the amount of installed.
y
Based on CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to
protect the CPU.
y
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less
for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we
recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than
4GB memory on the motherboard.
y
Some memory may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when
overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial Presence
Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Frequency to set the memory frequency if
you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.
y
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs
installation or overclocking.
y
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU
and devices when overclocking.

For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using
the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.
y
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

changes.

Important
The pictures above are for reference only and may vary from the product you
purchased.
Important
- Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.
- Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount installed.
- Based on CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the CPU.
- Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we recommended that you install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than 4GB memory on the motherboard.
- Some memory may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when overclocking due to the memory frequency operating dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Frequency to set the memory frequency if you want to operate the memory at the market or at a higher frequency.
- It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.
- The stability and compatibility of the installed memory modules depend on the installed CPU and devices when overclocking.

MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus F.A.Q.
To update the BIOS, download the latest BIOS version from the MSI website. Copy the file to a USB drive, restart your PC, and enter the BIOS setup by pressing the ‘Delete’ key during boot. Go to the M-FLASH utility and select the BIOS file from your USB drive to proceed with the update.
Ensure that the RAM is properly seated in the correct slots as per the motherboard manual. Check for any dust or debris and clean it if necessary. Try using different RAM sticks or slots to diagnose the issue. Ensure your BIOS is updated to support the RAM model.
The MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus supports AMD Ryzen 3000, 4000, 5000, and 5000 G-Series processors. Always check the official MSI website for the most current compatibility list.
To enable XMP, enter the BIOS by pressing the ‘Delete’ key during startup. Navigate to the ‘OC’ tab and find the ‘A-XMP’ option. Enable it to boost your RAM to its rated speed. Save and exit the BIOS.
Ensure all fans are working properly and clean of dust. Check that the CPU cooler is properly installed and making good contact. Verify that the thermal paste is applied correctly. Consider improving case airflow or upgrading your cooling solution.
First, check the USB settings in the BIOS to ensure they are enabled. Plug devices into different ports to see if the issue is isolated. Update the motherboard chipset drivers. If issues persist, check for physical damage or consider a BIOS update.
Yes, the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus supports PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs, offering improved speeds over PCIe 3.0. Ensure your CPU also supports PCIe 4.0 to take full advantage of the speeds.
To reset the CMOS, turn off your PC and unplug it. Locate the CMOS battery on the motherboard and remove it for about 10 minutes. Reinsert the battery, plug in your PC, and start it up. You can also use the CMOS jumper if available.
For overclocking, enter the BIOS and navigate to the ‘OC’ tab. Adjust the CPU ratio and voltage carefully, increase the ‘A-XMP’ setting for RAM, and monitor temperatures closely. Always ensure proper cooling and stability testing after making changes.
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing ‘Delete’ at startup. Navigate to the ‘Advanced’ section and look for ‘SVM Mode’. Enable it to turn on virtualization support. Save your changes and exit the BIOS.
