PREMIUM HARDWARE DESIGN

Building high-performance motherboards is not new to MSI, who has years of experience.

R&D and engineering staff have reviewed countless designs, evaluated a broad selection of high-quality components, and created products that meet the demands of even the most extreme environments.

THERMAL SOLUTION FOR MORE CORES AND HIGHER PERFORMANCE

As more processors are added, thermal and power design becomes more important to keep the temperature low.

Even high-end CPUs can run at full speed with MSI motherboards thanks to their extended PWM heatsink and enhanced circuit design.

M.2 SHIELD FROZR

Even the world's fastest SSDs can suffer performance drops when heated up.

M.2 SHIELD FROZR, an integral part of the motherboard's heatsink design, offers the best thermal protection to keep the SSD's performance at its peak.

FULLY CONTROLLABLE IN BIOS AND SOFTWARE

Managing your system's and CPU's fans speeds and temperatures is easy with MSI motherboards.

A simplified graphical interface allows you to check your primary system characteristics with Total Fan Control.

The fan speed can also be adjusted automatically based on up to 4 temperature targets.

OPTIMIZED FOR WATER COOLING

Supports the most popular All-In-One and custom water cooling solutions on the market.

PIN headers for dedicated water pumps allow for up to 2 amps of power, giving you total control over the pump speed.
