DDR4 Boost
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. -
Fast storage with SATA Express
SATA Express offers a solution in high speed storage through PCI-Express, providing more bandwidth for the latest generation SSDs up to 16 Gb/s. -
Turbo M.2
Delivering speeds up to 32Gb/s using Gen3 x4, Turbo M.2 is over 5 times faster than a regular SATA III connection! Enjoy a blazing fast system boot up and insanely fast loading of applications and games with MSI motherboards. -
Secure and reliable UEFI BIOS solution
This next generation UEFI BIOS is completely rebuilt and features a plethora of system builders' favorite options. From M-Flash for easy BIOS flashing to advanced data protection & system security, CLICK BIOS hands you the tools to fully protect and optimize the system. Through smart design and optimizations for Windows 10, CLICK BIOS is faster than ever. By reducing the use of graphics in the UEFI shell, it boots faster, reacts faster and adds a smooth experience when changing settings. Smart categorizing of functions and settings make this the easiest BIOS you'll ever see. -
Stable, secure networking
The Gigabit network adapter on MSI Professional motherboards offers fast, reliable and secure networking. -

Dark Choke
Dark Choke uses the special core design and allows the Dark Choke to run at a lower temperature with higher capacity and better power efficiency and stability. -
Solid CAP
With their aluminum core design, Solid CAPs are made for high-end design motherboard. Not only do Solid CAPs could provide lower Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), but also work firmly for over-10-year. -
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 MSI motherboards. -
ESD protection
Each and every I/O port is protected against the hazards of Electro Static Discharge. -
EMI protection
All MSI motherboards comply with strict American FCC regulations and reduce the impact of Electromagnetic Interference. -
Easy diagnostic
MSI EZ Debug LED is an easy troubleshooting tool using 3 LEDs to indicate CPU / Memory / VGA operation every time you boot up your system. Run into trouble? Use the LEDs to easily identify the source of your problem and get back into operation quickly. -
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. -
CrossFire support
This motherboard supports AMD CrossFire . Optimal PCI-Express slot placement allows for better fitting and airflow. That way, you can enjoy the best graphics at the highest framerate jumping off from your screen when running an AMD CrossFire setup. -
Prevent damage
Worried about damaging the PCI-Express slot or your graphics card because of the weight? -
MSI VGA Armor
