MAXSUN has introduced two new micro ATX motherboards based on the AMD B850 chipset. The company launched the MS-iCraft B850M WIFI and the MS-iCraft B850M GKD5 WIFI on May 11, 2024. These boards target different segments of the PC building market with distinct memory and power delivery configurations.
New micro ATX boards with distinct memory and power delivery configurations for different market segments.
Both models share a common foundation that includes three M.2 slots, two of which support PCIe Gen5 speeds. They feature 5GbE LAN connectivity, Wi-Fi 6E wireless networking, and a 10Gbps USB-C port on the rear I/O panel. A 20Gbps USB-C port is available for front panel connections. The boards utilize a Skylight RGB alloy heatsink and include a button-style quick-release mechanism for GPU installation.
The standard MS-iCraft B850M WIFI targets general users with a four-DIMM layout supporting DDR5-8000 memory. It uses a 10+2+1 phase power delivery system built around 60A SPS DrMOS components. The overclocking-focused MS-iCraft B850M GKD5 WIFI reduces the DIMM count to two to support DDR5-8800 speeds. This variant upgrades the power delivery to a 110A DrMOS configuration for higher stability under load.
The iCraft series branding indicates a focus on gaming aesthetics and performance. The inclusion of RGB lighting and quick-release hardware aligns with design trends in the gaming motherboard segment. The B850 chipset provides a modern platform for AMD processors, balancing feature density with cost efficiency for micro ATX form factors.
