    MSI GAMING motherboards are designed to provide gamers with outstanding features and technology. Backed by the imposing looks of MSI's Dragon, each motherboard is an engineering masterpiece tailored to gaming perfection.
  • MSI USB 3.1 2x faster

    USB 3.1 allows for high speeds, doubling the speed compared to USB 3.0 and faster than legacy USB 2.0. USB 3.1 is even faster than SATA III! Transferring your favorite games, music and movies over USB has never been faster.
  • Video editor and game detection

    Assemble and edit your recordings using the simple and straightforward video editor. Game Capture Auto Detect allows for automatic streaming when starting a game.
  • OC engine

    Run into unstable situations when pushing your CPU to the limit? This occurs because the internal clocks are linked through the 100 MHz BCLK strap. Thanks to a integrated Clock Generator, MSI motherboards support more flexible BCLK adjustments. Using these straps prevents system crashing while overclocking on the edge and opens doors to achieve the absolute maximum. The MSI X99 motherboards all come with the next generation Clock Generator offering even lower jitter and power consumption resulting in even higher stability under extreme conditions.
  • Isolated audio PCB

    With traditional onboard audio the signal is distorted by electromagnetic signals from the rest of the PCB. Audio Boost 2 acts like a dedicated soundcard by physically isolating the audio circuitry which is separated by a red LED path. Less interference gives you a more clear audio signal.
  • Direct audio power

    Enjoy a heavy caliber audio experience with Direct Audio Power. A dedicated power input to Audio Boost 2 allows for a more powerful and stable power delivery, resulting in a more explosive and pure sound experience.
  • Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2

    Thanks to Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2, you're getting amazing surround sound with just stereo headphones or speakers. Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2 enables you to clearly hear specific sounds in gaming environments. Hear your enemies perfectly, make your ears a decisive tool to finish on top.
  • EMI shielding

    To shield the audio core from EMI 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 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.
