More speed, more bandwidth, less power
MSI engineers made sure you can enjoy high speed DDR4 compatibility. DDR4 offers higher volume sticks, this means larger memory configurations are possible up to 128GB. -
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 an integrated Clock Generator, MSI motherboards support more flexible BCLK adjustments, from 100/125/167 MHz straps. 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. -
OC essentials
A small 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. -
Optimized for multiple graphics cards
MSI Overclocking motherboards feature perfectly aligned PCI-Express 3.0 slots with enough space for an optimal airflow when using multiple graphics cards. That way, you will never have to worry about an overheating PC, while you are enjoying the best graphics jumping off from your monitor when running a NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire gaming setup. -
Ceasefire lite
When you are overclocking with LN2 and 4 VGA cards and simply want to benchmark using 3 or less VGA cards you don't have to physically remove one or more cards thanks to CeaseFire Lite, saving you a lot of time. With MSI CeaseFire Lite it is very easy to disable one of the PCI-E x16 slots with a simple switch in the BIOS. -
Fast storage with SATA express
SATA Express introduces a solution in high speed storage through PCI-Express, providing more bandwidth for the latest generation SSDs up to 10 Gb/s. -
Military class 4 components
Military Class 4 is the next step in high quality components. The DrMOS II, Hi-C Cap, Super Ferrite Choke and Solid Caps will make sure that your PC runs more stable under extreme conditions. -
Circuit protection
Carefully selected materials, multiple PCB layers and shielding result in the best circuit protection for the overclocking motherboards. -
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. -
Audio boost
Reward your ears with true quality. Get ready for ear-drum shattering sound, with MSI Audio Boost! With Audio Boost MSI are delivering the highest audio quality so you can enjoy crystal clear sound and music in games. Because the complete audio circuitry is isolated from other features, you'll enjoy less interference and more stability. The built-in headphone amplifier allows you to use studio-grade headgear and get the most amazing sound quality out of your PC. -
PU overcurrent protection
When the MSI Overclocking motherboard detects a failure from hardware such as the CPU, it will shut down, prevent booting and protects other hardware from damage by disconnecting power to it. A red LED lets you know that overcurrent protection is active. -
GO2 BIOS
Entering a BIOS can be a frustrating job. Because nowadays motherboards boot Lightning fast, MSI added the GO2BIOS button. Simply push it before you start or restart your system and you'll go straight to the system BIOS when your motherboard powers on. -
Intel Ethernet
Always connected with Intel Gigabit LAN networking. Optimized for multimedia and gaming use to deliver a stable and fast network connection. Even when using LN2, to make sure you can upload your record-breaking scores.
