Product Manuals
Q: Are the PCI-E x16 Slots version 3.0 or 4.0? I believe the new RTX cards require 4.0...
A: They are 3.0 (for now). Intel will not have PCIe 4.0 support until Rocket Lake (11th gen CPUs) It's possible this motherboard will enable support for PCIe 4.0 with an 11th gen CPU (for example, an i5-11600K) And FYI, no cards "require" PCIe 4.0... All PCIe cards including the RTX cards are backwards compatible with all PCIe slots down to PCIe 1.0
Q: Does this motherboard have wifi?
A: this one specifically? no
Q: Does this support 3600Mhz of Ram speed?
A: Yes. It can handle RAM speeds as high as 5000Mhz
Q: Is this product combatable with a Ryzen 5 CPU
A: No. Ryzen is an AMD CPU. This is an Intel CPU only motherboard.
A: Go under MSI.com and they have the WIFI card built for this mother board and then your good to go to be honest you can get the same motherboard same price with Wi-Fi on it just a reminder take care!!
A: It is ddr4 only
