It can support DDR4-3200 SODIMM memory of up to 64 GB and also allows the use of up to two SATA storage device ports and a single M.2 Gen 4 x4 slot.

The cooling system hasn’t come to the limelight as of yet. We can make some guesses looking at the mounting holes and their spacing and it appears that the CPU is capable of utilizing LGA 1151/1200/1700 coolers. Coolers with short heights will be more ideal in case this motherboard is being used in a smaller chassis.

The board’s power mainly comes from the power brick which is mostly seen on mobile laptops and smaller systems that lack the space to accommodate the power system. There appears to be no option for expansion or graphics and users will have to make peace with the iGPU on the Intel Tiger Lake CPU. We are waiting for MSI to announce more details regarding availability and pricing.
