Thermal solution for more cores and higher performance
With more core processors, power and thermal design is more important to ensure the temperature stays lower. MSI extended PWM heatsink with 7W/mK thermal pad ensures that even high-end processors run at full speed with MSI motherboards.
M.2 Shield Frozr
The world’s fastest SSDs can start to underperform when they get hot. As part of the motherboards heat sink design, M.2 SHIELD FROZR is the next generation M.2 thermal solution to prevent this by offering the best thermal protection to ensure your SSD maintains peak performance.
