MPG SERIES
GAME IN STYLE
MPG series motherboards, shortened from MSI Performance GAMING, are loaded for high-performance gaming with slick looks to match.
MAG SERIES
CONQUER THE BATTLEFIELD
MAG series motherboards, shortened from MSI Arsenal GAMING, focus on functionality and durability. These motherboards take their likeness from rugged military equipment and are ready for battle.
M.2 SHIELD FROZR
The world's fastest SSDs can slow down when they get too hot. M.2 SHIELD FROZR extends the motherboard's heatsink over M.2 SSDs to prevent thermal throttling and sustain maximum performance.
DELAYS THROTTLING
HIGHER MAXIMUM TRANSFER SPEED
FASTER OVERALL DRIVE PERFORMANCE
Extended Heatsink Design
Heatsinks on top of the VRM help to dissipate excessive heat. Extended heatsinks have even more surface area for more thermal dissipation.
Pre-Installed I/O Shielding
Make the assembly process easier and safer. The grounded design protects the I/O ports from potential electrostatic discharge damage from the external environment.
Intel CNVi Ready
Connect to a fast wireless network connection. The integrated Intel® Wireless-AC (CNVi) Wi-Fi supports IEEE 802.11 AC Wave2, capable of high-speed bandwidths up to 1.73 Gb/s
