Boardview for the MSI Z170A Gaming M5 desktop motherboard, board MS-7977, with the suffix 11 in the name likely pointing to PCB version 1.1. The CAD file opens in OpenBoardView, FlexBV and similar viewers, showing parts, pins and net routing. It helps when tracing CPU VRM phases, memory power and standby rails, locating the BIOS chip or finding a shorted component. MSI prints the MS number and version on the PCB, so compare them before relying on the layout.
