Description

The MSIĀ® H170 GAMING M3 motherboard is designed to provide gamers the best gaming experience through genuine GAMING design, best-in-class gaming features and the latest technology. The H170 GAMING M3 motherboard is an engineering masterpiece tailored to gaming perfection.

DDR4 BOOST
By fully isolating the memory circuitry from other components, DDR4 Boost ensures the memory signal to stay pure for maximum performance and stability.

TURBO M.2 - GEN3 X4
Turbo M.2 delivers next generation M.2 performance through a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface. Delivering transfer speeds 3 times as fast as conventional M.2 solutions.

AUDIO BOOST 3 & NAHIMIC
The ultimate audio solution for gamers, powered by Nahimic Audio Enhancer. With dual OPA1652 AMPs and metal EMI Shielding you get breathtaking sound quality.

  • Unmatched memory performance and stability

    With traditional memory design the memory signals are often distorted by electromagnetic signals from other components, making the system perform slower or become unstable. MSI introduces DDR4 Boost technology with optimized traces and fully isolated memory circuitry. This design ensures the memory signals stay pure for optimal performance and stability.
  • True gaming LAN with killer

    Designed with gaming DNA, Killer LAN is optimized for championship level online and LAN eSports. The Killer E2400 Intelligent Networking Platform, featuring Advanced Stream Detect 2.0, is built for maximum networking performance for online games and high-quality streaming media. Killer LAN automatically detects and accelerates game traffic ahead of other network traffic for smoother, stutter-free in-game performance and the competitive edge.
  • Studio grade sound with Audio Boost 3

    With Audio Boost 3, powered by Nahimic Sound Technology, we're delivering the highest sound quality through the use of premium quality audio components. That way, you can enjoy breathtaking, crystal clear sound and music through 8-channel HD Audio or high impendence headphones and truly dominate the game.
  • Gaming hotkey

    Gaming Hotkey enables more functionality using your own keyboard. Simply assign functions or macros to any key and launch your favorite games, load overclocking profiles or do real-time overclocking with the push of a single button. The possibilities are endless!
  • OC essentials

    Meet the overclockers' swiss army knife; OC essentials is a set of tools that are essential to get the best performance out of your motherboard. These features increase stability, assist in trouble shooting, allow you to keep your complete system in check and allow for simple management. This way you can keep your mind on overclocking.
  • Enhanced CPU overvoltage protection

    Onboard overvoltage protection prevents overvoltage and short-circuit damage of the CPU and other components. A red LED near the 24 pin CPU power connector let you know that overvoltage protection is activated for easier troubleshooting.
  • Humidity protection

    Reduction in moisture absorption helps prevent "Conductive Anodic Filament". Untreated PCB's can have 10x higher failure rate.
  • High temperature protection

    All key components used in MSI motherboards have all passed military testing ensuring stable operation in the harshest environments.
  • Circuit protection

    Carefully selected materials, multiple PCB layers and shielding result in the best circuit protection for our GAMING motherboards.
