Massive Cooling Potential

1. Stacked Fin Array Design

Stacked fin array design enlarges up to 50% heat dissipation, provides the maximum surface of heat dissipation.

2. Direct Touch Cross Heat-pipe

The U-shape dual heat-pipe connect three MOS heatsinks to enlarge the surface of heat dissipation.

3. Double-sided M.2 Shield Frozr

Double-sided M.2 thermal solution keep M.2 SSDs safe while preventing throttling, making them run cooler and faster.

4. Aluminium Backplate

The aluminium baseplate cool down the MOSFET temperature with dedicated thermal pads.

5. 7W/mK Thermal Pad

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

6. Enlarged PCH Heatsink

MSI replaced the PCH fan with enlarged heatsink design to reduce dust and noise as well as maintain high heat dissipation efficiency.
