The mobo is distinguished by its black style, which is complemented by dark heatsinks. It also contains an I/O shield, which has already been installed on the board.
MSI appears to use a nice number of M.2 storage options available on this board - four - that I find most impressive about it, not its design. Three are heatsink covered, one exposed.
The board design is excellent btw. Nice aesthetics and loads of options. We do miss out WIFI though.
The CPU is powered directly by a 16+1+1 power stage via two 8-pin CPU power connections, which are connected to the motherboard. It is cooled by employing CNC-cut aluminum slabs that are connected by a heat pipe to keep it cool.
This cooling system extends all the way to the I/O panel located on the rear panel of the computer. Otherwise, we have the conventional arrangement of1x CPU fan 4-Pin, 1x pump 4-Pin, 6x fan 4-Pin and for RGB 1x 4-Pin RGB (+12V/G/R/B, max. 3A), 3x 3-Pin ARGB (+5V/DATA/GND, max. 3A).
A Realtek ALC4080 HD audio codec provides power to the five 3.5 mm audio ports and S/PDIF optical output on the back of the unit.
Four memory slots, each with a capacity of 128 GB, are located in the right-hand corner of the board. They are capable of handling DDR5-6400 memory. If you look at the MOS heatsink it's flattened, that where the monoblock will sit.
