Question 1

Does this motherboard have built in WiFi?

Accepted Answer

No, this motherboard does not have built in WiFi
But you can add either a USB WiFi adapter or a Wifi PCI card
Both are generally around the same price range.
You can look both up individually to see which one you would prefer if you got this motherboard.

Question 2

Including CPU cooler, how many case fans can this board support?

Accepted Answer

This thing has 2 ports for CPU fans and 3 for whatever. I'm using this inside a Cooler Master HAF 932 case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160) that can house up to 5 massive fans and I got the motherboard running 3 of them without fault.

Question 3

Hey man, does this motherboard support SLI?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe so. It does support AMD Crossfire, so you are able to use more than one gpu without overheating issues. But you have to use AMD cards. SLI is only NVIDIA.

I hope that helps.

Cheers

Question 4

Does this have an HDMI port? Sorry I'm a newbie and I have an older flatscreen monitor, and I just want to make sure it will work.

Accepted Answer

It does, but you will need a CPU with integrated graphics to use it.

Question 5

Can I use Intel® Pentium® Processor G3220 
(3M Cache, 3.00 GHz) with this board ?

Accepted Answer

That processor uses the socket LGA 1150 which WILL work with this motherboard. Sorry I didn't see this question sooner.  When matching motherboard and processors, just verify that the CPU socket types match.

Question 6

Does this motherboard need a Video Card?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it does.
It has an onboard graphics chip, but if want to do anything gaming-wise, you'll want to have a separate graphics card.

Question 7

What size computer case will this fit into...Atx full or mid?

Accepted Answer

Either one. Mine was in a mid tower and I had plenty of room for cable management and everything.

Question 8

What voltage for the memory chips, 1.35 or 1.5 volts?

Accepted Answer

Its 1.5v. Source: I own the board

Question 9

I was hoping to use 1866 MHz ram for an up coming build.           
The specs indicate that 1866 is not compatible with the MSI H97 PC Mate mother board is this correct?

Thanks
John Edington

Yes it is, this mother board only supports up to 1600 MHz

Question 10
