EZ M.2 Clip II

MSI’s EZ M.2 CLIP II makes SSD installation seamless. Insert the SSD into the M.2 slot and press it down to lock it in place with the clip. Flicking the clip outward lets you remove the SSD. Use the EZ M.2 Clip II remover tool to detach or reposition the clip on the motherboard.

EZ PCIe Release

An easy-to-access physical button release mechanism helps to remove any PCIe card with a single tap, making it easier to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.

EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II

The toolless design makes installing or removing your M.2 SSD and Shield Frozr easy.

Direct 20+1+1+1 Power Design

Achieve and sustain the maximum performance with a flagship VRM design, built with a total of Direct 20+1+1+1 Power Phases. Combining dual power connectors and 110A Smart Power Stage, this motherboard is ready for Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2).

Smart Button

Customize the Smart Button to perform different functions such as reset, Safe Boot, and Turbo Fan speed.

Flash BIOS

Flash the BIOS with only a connected power supply and a flash drive. No CPU or memory required.

Clear CMOS

Restore the BIOS to its default settings with the push of a button.

Wi-Fi 7

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) introduces higher speeds, wider channels, improved efficiency, and reduced latency over Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), with maximum speeds of up to 5.8 Gb/s. Utilizing 320 MHz on the 6 GHz band ensures reliability during simultaneous transmissions at max speeds and the 4096 QAM boosts peak transmission rates and network capacity. Multi-Link Operation enables devices to simultaneously send and receive data across several frequency bands and channels to meet traffic demands and the growing number of wireless devices.

Thunderbolt 4

In addition to transferring up to 40 Gb/s with a reversible USB-C connector, Thunderbolt 4 supports up to one 8K monitor or two 4K displays simultaneously. It also works with 20 Gb/s USB4 and you can daisy chain up to six devices to a single port.

PCIe 5.0

Doubling the speed of the previous generation, the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface can reach 128 GB/s.

Frozr Design

With Frozr Guard, the motherboard features an extended heat sink, two connected MOS heatpipes, the M.2 Shield Frozr, high quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads, enhanced M.2 thermals, and an enlarged PCH heat sink. With Frozr Sync, you can connect and synchronize with MSI coolers and cases with strategically positioned pin-header locations, including a dedicated pump-fan header. Utilize Cooling Wizard in the MSI Center app for comprehensive fan management across all compatible MSI products.

Audio Boost 4

The integrated audio system immerses you in crystal clear virtual 7.1 surround sound.
