Industrial first Magnetic with patented Screwless M.2 Shield Frozr & EZ M.2 Clip provide the easiest way for M.2 Installation.

Stacked Fin Array Design

  • Stacked fin array design enlarges up to 50% heat dissipation, provides the maximum surface of heat dissipation.

Aluminum Cover

  • Fully aluminum IO cover and extended heatsink design provide the maximum surface of heat dissipation.

Direct Touch Cross Heat-pipe

  • The U-shape dual heat-pipe connect three MOS heatsinks to enlarge the surface of heat dissipation.

Double-sided M.2 Shield Frozr

  • Double-sided M.2 thermal solution keep M.2 SSDs safe while preventing throttling, making them run cooler and faster.

Aluminum Backplate

  • The aluminum baseplate cool down the MOSFET temperature with dedicated thermal pads.

7W/mK Thermal Pad

  • High quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and extra choke thermal pads ensure all cores running in high performcance.

Enlarged PCH Heatsink

  • MSI replaced the PCH fan with enlarged heatsink design to reduce dust and noise as well as maintain high heat dissipation efficiency.

LIGHTNING GEN 5 PCI-E

Doubling over the previous generation, the bandwidth of a x16 interface can reach 128GB/s.

SMT PCIE 5.0 SLOT

The advanced SMT(Surface Mount Technology) PCIE slot diminish interference and electrical noise, fully support the PCI-E 5.0 signal.

REINFORCED, HEAVY SOLDERED CONNECTIONS
