Cooling Overview
-
Extended Heatsink
Extended Heatsink enlarges the surface of heat dissipation, ensuring even high- end processors to run in full speed.
-
M.2 Shield Frozr
Keeps M.2 SSDs safe while preventing throttling, making them run faster.
-
Heavy Plated VRM Heatsink
The VRM heatsink covers the upper MOS and helps dissipate the heat.
-
7W/mK Thermal Pad & Additional
Choke PadHigh quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and extra choke thermal pads ensure all cores running in high performcance.
Fully Fan Control
MSI motherboards let you manage speeds and temperatures for all your system and CPU fans in BIOS and software with a simplified graphical interface. You can also set up to 4 temperature targets, which will adjust the fan speeds automatically.
Detecting CPU & GPU temperatures and automatically adjusting fan duty of system fans to a proper value by adopting MSI AI ENGINE.
MSI fan headers automatically detect fans running in DC or PWM mode for optimal tuning of fan speeds and silence. Hysteresis also makes your fans spin up fluently to make sure your system stays silent, no matter what.
OPTIMIZED FOR WATER COOLING
Designed to support the most popular All-In-One & customized water cooling solutions on the market. A dedicated water pump PIN header supports up to 3 amp, giving you full control of the water pump speed. A clearly marked ‘keep-out-zone’ allows for easy and safe installation and a perfect fit.

EZ OC TUNING
Performance Switch combines the benefits of AMD default PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) and MSI’s own OC settings, provides higher CPU performance in both status of single-core and multi-core. This is for users who dare for the maximum performance.
MSI PBO Thermal profiles are setting maximum CPU temperature at 85°C, 75°C and 65°C levels. With the thermal profiles, the CPU operates at lower voltage and temperature but remaining the same performance.
Config TDP is designed to provide ECO Mode (65W) or different TDP (PPT/TDC/EDC) settings for advanced users. By offering several profiles for different TDP settings in Click BIOS 5, Config TDP makes setting TDP profiles easier and don’t need to modify settings manually for each TDP.
