 cooling overview mobile
  1. Extended Heatsink

    Extended Heatsink enlarges the surface of heat dissipation, ensuring even high-end processors to run in full speed.

  2. M.2 Shield Frozr

    Keeps M.2 SSDs safe while preventing throttling, making them run faster.

  3. Heavy Plated VRM HeatsinkThe VRM heatsink covers the upperMOS and helps dissipate the heat.
  4. 7W/mK Thermal Pad &Additional Choke Pad

    High quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and extra choke thermal pads ensure all cores running in high performcance.

Fully Fan Control

CONTROL IN ONE CLICK
FROZR AI COOLING
AUTO DETECT YOUR FAN

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 ai cooling feature

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.
