Description
To master the game you need a masterful system. The MSI Enthusiast GAMING motherboards are honored with the suffix "M for Master" to cite its truly outstanding design, ready to guide you to the next level in gaming.
Unmatched memory performance and stability
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.
An added XMP LED highlights an active Extreme Memory Profile for the best memory speed and stability setting.
