• Team up Killer LAN with Killer Wi-Fi

  Introducing world's first Killer LAN & Wireless gaming connection on a motherboard, the X99A GAMING 9 ACK offers unmatched gaming performance. Smart teaming combines both LAN & Wireless for the best possible gaming experience. The Killer Network Manager decides which apps runs on which connection for gaming traffic optimization.

• Record and stream all of your in-game activity while enjoying your games at maximum FPS

  Because X99 lacks an integrated GPU, Intel Quicksync is no longer available to help while streaming your gaming activity. MSI Streaming Engine captures video real-time through a dedicated hardware solution making sure you are free of any impact on CPU performance, where other solutions demand vital resources highly impacting FPS performance.

• More speed, more bandwidth, less power

  MSI engineers made sure you can enjoy high speed DDR4 compatibility. DDR4 brings higher memory speeds at even lower power usage as low as 1.2v. DDR4 offers higher volume sticks, this means larger memory configurations are possible up to 128 GB.

  To shield the audio core from EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) caused by other add-in cards the audio chip is protected by a high-grade EMI cover with backlight illumination.

• Dedicated headhpone amplifier

  The built-in dedicated headphone amplifier rewards your high quality headphone with amazing studio level sound quality delivered from your gaming PC. Tired of having to connect your headset in difficult to reach places? MSI GAMING motherboards are designed to be easy to use, featuring front & rear audio outputs fueled by Audio Boost 2.

• USB audio power

  When connecting multiple USB devices, most motherboards will be unable to deliver a strong 5 V power signal to all USB ports. This is highly noticeable with high-quality external USB DACs where sound quality degrades as the motherboard is unable to deliver a perfect USB signal.
