For builders who want big performance in a small footprint, MSI has just introduced the MPG B850I EDGE TI WIFI, a Mini-ITX motherboard that packs serious power for the latest AMD Ryzen processors.

Built on the AMD B850 chipset and designed for the AM5 socket, this compact board offers the kind of premium specs you’d normally expect from larger ATX models—without sacrificing space or style.

Compact, Yet Powerful

Despite its small size, the MPG B850I EDGE TI WIFI comes equipped with a robust 8+2+1 phase digital VRM featuring 90A SPS DrMOS power stages. Power is delivered via a single 8-pin EPS connector, and the 10-layer PCB with 2oz copper ensures stable performance and efficient heat dissipation—even under load.

DDR5, PCIe 5.0 & Next-Gen Storage

This board is ready for the future with DDR5 memory support up to 8200 MT/s, making it ideal for speed-hungry users. Memory is configured in a dual-slot (1 DIMM per channel) layout for optimized signal integrity.

For storage, MSI includes a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot (CPU-connected) with its own active cooling fan to keep next-gen SSDs running cool. There’s also a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot on the rear, plus two SATA III ports for additional storage.

Need GPU power? A PCIe 5.0 x16 slot connects directly to the CPU to deliver uncompromised graphics bandwidth.

Cutting-Edge Connectivity

The B850I EDGE TI WIFI is loaded with modern connectivity options:

• Wired networking: 5 GbE LAN powered by Realtek RTK8126

• Wireless: Wi-Fi 7 with support for 320 MHz channels and speeds up to 5.8 Gbps, plus Bluetooth 5.4

• Audio: High-quality sound via the Realtek ALC4080 codec

• USB ports: Rear USB-C (20 Gbps), internal header USB-C (10 Gbps), and a variety of USB-A ports for all your peripherals

• Display: HDMI 2.1 FRL for crystal-clear visuals

• Digital audio: S/PDIF out, perfect for home theater setups

• Wireless antenna: Dual connectors for strong Wi-Fi signal

Designed for Efficiency

One of the standout features is the active M.2 cooling. As PCIe 5.0 SSDs generate more heat, this small but effective fan helps maintain optimal performance—without compromising the sleek Mini-ITX footprint.
