Description

USB 3.1 allows for speeds up to 10 Gbps, doubling the speed compared to USB 3.0 and 20x faster than legacy USB 2.0. USB 3.1 is even faster than SATAIII! Transferring your favorite games, music and movies over USB has never been faster.

Delivering speeds up to 32Gb/s using Gen3 x4, Turbo M.2 is more than 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.

Turbo M.2 is the successor to M.2 10 Gb/s, offering 3 times more performance up to 32 Gb/s using Gen3 x4. M.2 is packed in a small form factor and is compatible with 3 different sizes to fit most storage solutions.

SATA Express introduces a solution in high speed storage through PCI-Express, providing more bandwidth for the SSDs up to 10 Gb/s.

With a large number of PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots for every MSI motherboard, you get to choose optimal placement for your graphics cards for better fitting and airflow up to Quad SLI/CF. That way, you can enjoy the best graphics at the highest framerate jumping off from your screen when running a NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire setup.

Military Class 4 is the next step in high quality components. The Super Ferrite Choke and Solid CAP will make sure that your PC runs more stable under extreme gaming conditions.

    Military Class 4 is the next step in high quality components. The Super Ferrite Choke and Solid CAP will make sure that your PC runs more stable under extreme gaming conditions.
  • Super ferrite chokes

    Super Ferrite Chokes use a Ferrite core that is Super-Permeable. This allows the Super Ferrite Chokes to run at a 35 degree Celsius lower temperature, have a 30% higher current capacity, a 20% improvement in power efficiency and better overclocking power stability.
  • Solid CAP

    With their aluminum core design and Japanese made quality, 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.
  • Circuit protection

    Carefully selected materials, multiple PCB layers and shielding result in the best circuit protection for these motherboards.
  • ECO power

    With MSI ECO Center you can physically cut the power to unused chips to save up to 19% power usage.
  • Humidity protection

    10% 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.
  • ESD protection

    Each and every I/O port is protected against the hazards of Electro Static Discharge.
  • EMI protection

    All MSI motherboards comply with stringent American FCC regulations and reduce the impact of Electromagnetic Interference.
  • Intel GigabiT LAN

    Always connected with Intel Gigabit LAN networking. The MSI X99 motherboards come equipped with the high quality network solution from Intel. Optimized for multimedia and gaming use to deliver a stable and fast network connection.
  • ECO Power

    ECO Power helps users to manage their hardware and power usage. Save up to 19% power consumption by completely disabling unnecessary hardware. ECO Power not only lowers the power consumption but also avoids short circuiting and signal noise.
