Product details

Unique memory performance and optimal stability
With a traditional memory design, memory signals are often disrupted by electromagnetic signals from other components, which can lead to system instability or slower performance. MSI equips the DDR4 Boost technology with optimized signal pathways in an isolated circuit. Memory signals remain unaffected by other components, ensuring full performance and stability. An additional XMP LED light indicates an active memory profile for maximum memory speed and stability.

Fast memory with SATA Express
SATA Express is a high-speed memory connection via SATA Express, offering a high bandwidth of up to 10 Gbps with modern SSDs.

Turbo M.2
Turbo M.2 is more than 5x faster than a standard SATA III connection, with transfer rates of up to 32 Gbps. This enables lightning-fast system boot times and incredibly quick loading of applications and games with MSI motherboards.

U.2 adapter card (optional)
The U.2 adapter card can be used to connect the latest 2.5" SSDs with U.2 connections, providing speeds of up to 32 Gb/s. A redriver ensures excellent transfer rates.
