All-in-one
Standing always at the side of gamers, the MAG series boards will help them fight honourably on the virtual battlefield.
With additional elements inspired by military styling, the new gaming line has been reborn as a symbol of solid quality and exceptional durability.
Cooling:
- Extended Heatsink - The Extended Heatsink features a larger heat dissipation area, allowing even high-end CPUs to run at full speed on the board.
- M.2 Shield Frozr System - The M.2 drive cooling system prevents the appearance of thermal throttling effects on data transmission, allowing drives to run much faster.
- Solid metal heatsink that cools the VRM voltage regulator moduleThe heatsink located on the VRM voltage regulator module also cools the MOS transistors and helps dissipate heat.
- Heat sink with 7W/mK thermal pads and additional thermal pads on the chokes. High-quality 7W/mK thermal pads located on the MOSFET power transistors and additional thermal pads located on the chokes ensure stable operation of all CPU cores and allow them to run at high speeds on the board.
Optimised for water cooling The motherboard is designed to work with the most popular all-in-one water cooling systems and custom liquid cooling systems on the market. Dedicated for water pump interoperability, the PIN connector supports devices that draw up to 3 amps, giving you full control over the speed of the water pump. A clearly marked keep-out-zone allows for easy and safe cooling installation and perfect matching of equipment.
System for assemblers 2.0 - integration into the system environment
Connect and position the components of the MSI cooling system in the computer case in an optimal way. You can do this thanks to strategically placed slots, including a connector that is dedicated to the pump fan of the liquid cooling system.
