How to install MSI MPG B760M EDGE TI WIFI
Preparing for a successful build begins with the basics: select a compatible case, install the I/O shield, and orient the motherboard so that ports line up with the case’s rear opening. Start by securing the standoffs in the case’s motherboard tray that match the Micro ATX form factor. With that groundwork laid, you can proceed step by step to assemble the core components.
Step 1: Install the CPU into the LGA-1700 socket. Gently lift the retention arm, align the golden triangle or notches on the CPU with the socket’s markings, seat the processor fully, and re-secure the lock. Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste if your cooler requires it, then attach the CPU cooler or water block according to its mounting instructions. Ensure the cooler has unobstructed airflow and doesn’t interfere with memory slots or the PCIe layout.
Step 2: Install DDR5 memory modules into the designated dual-channel slots. Align the notches, firmly press down until the latches click, and verify that each module seats evenly. For best results, populate slots recommended by MSI for your CPU and memory configuration and enable XMP/DOCP profiles in BIOS to reach rated speeds.
Step 3: Install M.2 NVMe SSDs into the M.2 slots equipped with the Screwless Shield Frozr. Slide the drive into the slot at the correct angle, gently press it down, and secure with the screwless mechanism. The Shield Frozr not only helps with thermal dissipation but also provides a clean, tool-free installation experience that keeps the build clean and tidy—great for compact builds where space and airflow matter.
Step 4: Mount the motherboard into the case, aligning the I/O shield and standoffs. Secure the motherboard with screws, connect the 24-pin ATX power from the power supply, and attach the 8-pin (sometimes 4+4) CPU power connector. Connect any additional power cables for PCIe devices or fans as required by your cooling solution and case layout. Install PCIe expansion cards or graphics cards, making sure they’re firmly seated and secured to prevent movement during operation.
Step 5: Connect cooling fans, case LEDs, USB headers, front panel audio, and other peripherals according to your case’s layout and MSI’s motherboard manual. If you plan to use the onboard Wi-Fi, attach the external antennas to the Wi-Fi module and position them for optimal signal strength. Finally, boot the system and enter BIOS to configure memory timings, enable XMP, and verify that all connected components are detected. Update the BIOS to the latest version to ensure full compatibility with the newest processors and memory kits. Once configured, save your profile and proceed to install your preferred operating system and drivers.
