Military Class III components
The MSI Big Bang-XPower II has the most advanced power design of any mainboard currently on the market. Built with Military Class III components like the powerful super ferrite choke and Hi-c CAP the power is delivered through MSI's unique DrMOS II chips which ensure high power, high efficiency and low temperatures, eliminating the need for active cooling. -
4-way graphics
The MSI Big Bang-XPower II comes equipped with a unique 8 PCI Express slot configuration which allows unprecedented performance in 4-way SLI and QuadFire configurations with the PCI Express Gen3 graphics cards. PCI CeaseFire will allow you to quickly enable or disable graphics cards slots for performance testing, benchmarking or troubleshooting. -
Advanced O.C. features
With advanced overclocking features, the MSI Big Bang-XPower II makes sure you are in control. The V-Check kit enables direct and accurate measurement of voltages of the CPU, memory and chipset. A removable BIOS allows for easily swapping out special BIOS chips for those who venture into sub-zero conditions. -
O.C. power
The additional PCI Express power connector ensures plenty of additional power to the PCI Express slots and also delivers clean power to those components that use PCI Express power when overclocking. -
Easy O.C. features
When you're not a seasoned overclock, you can still confide in MSI to give you the most easy and quickest free performance boost ever. With one push of the O. C. Genie II button you can get your Big Bang-XPower II running at 4.0 GHz. -
Thermal design
The design of the MSI Big Bang-XPower II breaths lethal cooling ability. The all-black thermal design is complemented by an O.C. PCB which specialized layer design for optimum performance. The enhanced thermal design of the Big Bang-XPower II employs MSI's SuperPipe technology for the best mainboard cooling on the market. An extra benefit is that you will not be troubled by noisy fans or have to worry about fans getting dusty or wearing out.
