Hardware

Cooling

Cooling Overview

Extended Heatsink

Extended Heatsink enlarges the surface of heat dissipation and maintain the performance at heavy loads.

M.2 Shield Frozr

Strengthened M.2 thermal solution helps M.2 SSD safe and ensures incredible performance.

Heavy Plated VRM Heatsink

The VRM heatsink covers the upper MOS and helps dissipate the heat.

7W/mK Thermal Pad & Additional Choke Pad

High-quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and additional choke thermal pads ensure stable performance when all cores are running at high speed.

Fully Fan Control

Control in One Click

MSI motherboards let you manage speeds and temperatures for all your system and CPU fans in BIOS and software with a simplified graphical interface. You can also set up to 4 temperature targets, which will adjust the fan speeds automatically.

Frozr AI Cooling

Detecting CPU & GPU temperatures and automatically adjusting fan duty of system fans to a proper value by adopting MSI AI ENGINE.

Auto Detect Your Fan

MSI fan headers automatically detect fans running in DC or PWM mode for optimal tuning of fan speeds and silence. Hysteresis also makes your fans spin up fluently to make sure your system stays silent, no matter what.

Water Cooling

Optimised for Water Cooling

Designed to support the most popular All-In-One & customised water cooling solutions on the market. A dedicated water pump PIN header supports up to 3 amp, giving you full control of the water pump speed. A clearly marked ‘keep-out-zone’ allows for easy and safe installation and a perfect fit.

System Cooling

DIY 2.0 – Integrating With the System Environment

Connect and synchronise with MSI coolers and cases with strategically positioned pin-header locations including a dedicated pump-fan header.

Digital Power Design

A fully digital power design allows for faster and undistorted current delivery to the CPU at pin-point precision.

Double Power Connectors

Two 8-pin connectors deliver adequate power even for an overclocked multi-core CPU.

Core Boost

Premium layout not only support the multi-core CPU, also create the perfect conditions for your CPU overlocking.

PCB Design

Optimised PCB Solution

The PCB design has been optimised for higher bandwidth and faster transfer speeds, which is also beneficial for reliable circuit transmission.

• 6 PCB layers
• 2oz Thickened Copper

EZ OC Tuning

Performance Switch

Performance Switch combines the benefits of AMD default PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) and MSI's own OC settings, provides higher CPU performance in both status of single-core and multi-core. This is for users who dare for the maximum performance.

PBO Thermal Point

MSI PBO Thermal profiles are setting maximum CPU temperature at 85°C, 75°C and 65°C levels. With the thermal profiles, the CPU operates at lower voltage and temperature but remaining the same performance.

Config TDP

Config TDP is designed to provide ECO Mode (65W) or different TDP (PPT/TDC/EDC) settings for advanced users. By offering several profiles for different TDP settings in Click BIOS 5, Config TDP makes setting TDP profiles easier and don't need to modify settings manually for each TDP.

More for Performance

1-Second Overclocking!

MSI Game Boost enables one-second overclocking, giving you the performance boost you need to get more FPS.

Load-Line Calibration

What you set, is what you get. LIC makes sure your CPU voltage remains 100% stable under any load. This greatly improves stability when demanding more CPU performance.

Overvoltage Protection

Prevents potential short-circuit damage to the CPU and other critical components.
