THERMAL SOLUTION FOR MORE CORES AND HIGHER PERFORMANCE
With more cores’ processors, thermal and power design is more important to make sure the temperature keeps lower. MSI extended PWM heatsink with 7W/mK thermal pad ensures even high-end processors run in full speed with MSI motherboards.
M.2 SHIELD FROZE
The world’s fastest SSDs can start to lower performance when getting hot. Part of the motherboard’s heatsink design, M.2 SHIELD FROZR is the next generation M.2 thermal solution to avoid this by offering the best thermal protection to ensure that SSD maintains maximum performance.
FROZR AI COOLING
Detecting CPU & GPU temperatures and automatically adjusting fan duty of system fans to a proper value by adopting MSI AI ENGINE.
FULLY CONTROLLABLE IN BIOS AND SOFTWARE
MSI motherboards let you manage speeds and temperatures for all your system and CPU fans. Total Fan Control allows you to check your primary system characteristics in a simplified graphical interface. You can also set up to 4 temperature targets for the CPU and motherboard, which will adjust the fan speeds automatically.
OPTIMIZED FOR WATER COOLING
They are designed to support the most popular All-In-One & customized water cooling solutions on the market, a dedicated water pump PIN header gives you full control of the water pump speed. A marked ‘keep-out-zone’ allows for easy and safe installation and a perfect fit.
TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT
HIGH-BANDWIDTH AND LOW-LATENCY NETWORK
2.5Gbps LAN provides incredible data transfer speed faster than general Gigabit LAN. This is a premium solution for demanding users.
OPTIMIZE THE NETWORK FOR LOWER LATENCY!
MSI LAN Manager automatically classifies and prioritizes latency-sensitive applications, giving you the best online experience with low latency.
LIGHTNING GEN 4 PCI-E
MSI lightning Gen 4 PCI-E is the latest and the fastest PCI-E data transfer solution with 64GB/s of transfer bandwidth that has doubled compared to its previous generation. PCIe 4.0 maintains both backward and forward compatibility with older and newer specifications. Optimized by steel armor design, your motherboards can support the weight of heavy graphics cards.
LIGHTNING GEN 4 PCI-E.
A HUGE STEP IN DDR PERFORMANCE
MSI OC LAB does not merely work hard on extreme overclocking. The XMP memory profile has a great improvement in performance and efficiency for Z690. Easy to enable the XMP profile with auto power settings to get the best memory speed and stability.
A HUGE STEP IN DDR PERFORMANCE.
CORE BOOST
Core Boost technology combines MSI’s premium layout and optimized power design which allows for faster and undistorted current delivery to the CPU at pin-point precision. Not only supports multi-core CPUs but also creates the perfect conditions for your CPU overclocking.
