Powered by the new ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, the 3rd generation of RTX, GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards are beyond fast, giving gamers and creators a quantum leap in performance, neural rendering, and many more leading platform capabilities. This massive advancement in GPU technology is the gateway to the most immersive gaming experiences, incredible AI features and the fastest content creation workflows. These GPUs push state-of-the-art graphics into the future.

MSI tweeted a teaser of a few unnamed motherboards with a launch date of September 27. One of the shots in the teaser picture reveals "Z790," confirming that the next wave of Socket LGA1700 motherboards based on the Intel Z790 chipset will debut alongside 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" desktop processors. This could be the day on which motherboard vendors formally launch their Z790 motherboards, although availability should be in-sync with that of the 13th Gen processors. Although we know from earlier leaks that September 27 could be the launch date of "Raptor Lake," there have been no leaks about market-availability. Intel's 700-series chipset motherboards support not just 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" processors, but also current 12th Gen "Alder Lake;" and you can use "Raptor Lake" processors with current 600-series chipset motherboards by simply updating their BIOS.

MSI is welcoming two new ATX 3.0 compliant power supply units: the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 and MPG A1000G PCIE5. Both power supply unit series put heavy emphasis on being ready for all high-performing future graphics cards and components while providing utilitarian features to the user. The MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 is 80 PLUS Platinum Certified while the MPG A1000G PCIE5 is 80 PLUS Gold Certified.

Both the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 and MPG A1000G PCIE5 have a port that is compliant with PCIe 5.0 and Intel PSDG ATX 3.0. The native 16 PIN PCIe connector makes the power supplies ready for all high-performing future graphics cards. The connector can freely pipe up to 600 W of power to PCIe 5.0 graphics cards. The power supplies can also hold up to 2x total power excursion and 3x GPU power excursion, fully ready for all future high performing components.

Here are the first pictures of a low-profile Intel Arc A380 graphics card by MSI. The half-height card is 2 slots thick, and is probably the first A380 card we've come across that appears to lack a power connector. The card surfaced on Japanese IT news portals, when a DAIV-built commercial desktop was disassembled revealing this low-profile card. The desktop combines a Core i7-12700 with this A380 card. The card appears to feature a complex aluminium fin-stack heatsink instead of a cheap aluminium monoblock one. The typical board power of A380 running at stock frequencies is exactly 75 W, and so MSI could build this card without any power connectors. Other board partners have been known to include at least a 6-pin connector to minimize power draw from the slot.

MSI has put up the pricing of its upcoming X670E and X670 motherboards on its website and it's already causing a stir online, as MSI seems to have priced itself out of the market. Starting at the bottom of the product stack, where the Pro X670-P WiFi sits at US$289.99, which should be compared to the X570-A Pro (without WiFi) which retails for around $110. Admittedly we don't know the exact pricing of MSI's competitors at this point in time, but this seems like a very steep price for a lower-end board in the category. However, things don't improve, as the MPG X670E Carbon WiFi comes in at US$479.99, or about $200 more than its X570S counterpart is currently selling for. This is also at least $70 more than what we expect Gigabyte's X670E Aorus Master to sell at.

Next step up is the MEG X670E ACE which comes in at a steep $699.99, which is at least $100 more than what Gigabyte's X670E Aorus Xtreme is expected to sell for and around twice the current retail price of the MEG X570 ACE Gaming. Finally, MSI is asking for a whopping US$1,299.99 for the MEG X670E Godlike, a price we can't see many being willing to pay for what appears to be a fairly unexciting flagship board, at least compared to what we've seen from ASUS. It's obviously far from the first $1,000 plus board, but despite a fairly feature packed bundle, this board is simply bad value for money no matter how you look at it. Hopefully MSI will adjust their pricing based on the comments that are already posted around the internet, but we're going to have to wait until the official retail date to see if these boards will come down in price or not.

With NVIDIA cracking the whip on the supply chain to pave the way for the next-generation RTX 40-series, we're seeing some very oddball graphics card hit the market as official/retail products. One such card in China is the MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ventus 3X with 20 GB of memory. The card is neither based on the GA102-200 ASIC powering the original RTX 3080 with 10 GB of memory, nor is it based on the GA102-220 powering the RTX 3080 12 GB, but rather the "GA102-250," or at least the board description sticker says so. The card features 20 GB of memory across a 320-bit wid memory bus. Its core-config remains unknown.

The SKU positioned above the RTX 3080 12 GB, the RTX 3080 Ti, is powered by the GA102-225. VideoCardz discovered that the card lacks the LHR hardware-limitation for blockchain hashrates, which could be evidence that MSI had a special stock of graphics cards that it was directly selling to miners even while LHR-enabled cards were being pushed to the retail market. The card yields a hash-rate of 97.48 MH/s in the ETHASH test, proving the lack of the LHR block. The card also features display connectors. The leaker behind pictures of this card says that there may be as many as a 100 of these cards in circulation, priced around RMB 3xxx (USD $432 to $600).

MSI today introduced the G244F, a 24-inch Full HD monitor for competitive e-Sports gaming. Featuring a Rapid-IPS panel, the display offers 170 Hz refresh-rate, and 1 ms (GTG) response time, along with AMD FreeSync Premium support, making it a compelling pick in the entry-level. An in-built "Console Mode" drives the display at 120 Hz, and has been tested to work on the PlayStation 5. Other key specs include 178° viewing angles in any direction, 250 cd/m² maximum brightness, flicker-free brightness adjustments, and blue-light filtering. Connectors include two HDMI 2.0b, and one DisplayPort 1.2a.

MSI has updated its Prestige series lineup with new members, Prestige 16 and Prestige 16 EVO. Both in Urban Silver color and equipped with Intel 12th Gen Core i7 Processor, they are powerful productivity tools that business users can really appreciate.

The MSI Prestige 16 has a decent discrete GPU performance from NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, and is the first Prestige laptop that has a 16:10 ratio mini-LED panel. With the MSI True Color Technology, it reaches the high dynamic range (HDR) with DisplayHDR 1000 standard, which significantly expands the range of two important factors—contrast ratio and color accuracy. Thanks to Dynamic Cooler Boost, MSI's patented dual-fan thermal technology, Prestige 16/Prestige 16 EVO are powerful laptops that maintain less than 35 dB background noise. For business users who hold online conferences frequently, they can expect to have smooth video conferencing experience with the quadruple microphone and Ambient Light Sensor that come along with AI noise canceling solution.

Gelid Solutions today announced the release of the new Amber Controller Unit. The Amber 8 Pro is a product of GELID Solutions's Amber product line. Featuring 366 preprogrammed RGB lighting modes, Amber 8 Pro controls up to 8 fans, 10 LED strips, or other Addressable RGB (ARGB) devices. It comes with 21-key RF Remote Control for convenient operation, PWM input for seamless PWM controls and SATA Power Connector for stable power output.

Also, the RF remote control can be used to control the speed of the PWM fans. Built-in magnets make installation as quick as a few seconds. When connected to compatible motherboards, ASUS, MSI, or ASRock, ARGB hub functionality can also be accessed via the 3 Pin ARGB Sync input. In order to provide reliable power output, SATA power connectivity is used, which delivers 85 W maximum power and supports ARGB devices with up to 120 LEDs onboard each channel to illuminate and control.

A bit late to the game compared to its competitors, MSI has finally published its product pages for three of its upcoming X670 and X670E motherboards. The three models are the MEG X670E ACE, the MPG X670E Carbon WiFi and the Pro X670-P WiFi. Earlier todaywe got a first hint with regards to the pricing of a couple of these boards and now we have most of the technical details with regards to the boards themselves. As with all other boardmakers, MSI hasn't revealed any information with regards to memory clocks and obviously no details about which CPUs will be supported. We already had a pretty good idea what to expect from these boards based on the details MSI released at Computex, but features like the power design weren't revealed at the time, nor did we get a very good look at the board.

The MEG X670E ACE appears to be MSI's high-end board for those that aren't interested in spending a small fortune on the Godlike board and it should cater to just about all needs. The board has a 22+2+1 phase power design and MSI is using a heatpipe as well as a stacked fin-array heatsink and a MOSFET backplate to help cool the oversized power circuitry. Other features include 10 Gbps Ethernet, although there is only one Ethernet interface, a DisplayPort 1.4 compatible USB-C 10 Gbps port (which was said to be DP 2.0 compliant at Computex), as well as two 20 Gbps USB-C ports around the back. USB4 is nowhere to be seen, but is most likely related to ASMedia being late to the game with its host controller. MSI has gone for a design where the x16 PCIe 5.0 lanes from the CPU are split between the first two PCIe x16 slots and the third slot is using four lanes of PCIe 5.0 from the CPU. The final four PCIe 5.0 lanes from the CPU are for one of the M.2 NVMe slots and the board has a further three M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots. On top of that, MSI also includes an M.2 Xpander-Z Gen5 Dual add-in card that can accept a further two PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD at the cost of eight PCIe lanes from the GPU.

The first X670 motherboards from MSI have recently been listed for pre-order on several Italian sites before their official announcement. The two motherboards listed are the MSI PRO X670-P WIFI and the MPG X670E Carbon Wi-Fi with all the sites featuring the same product details and imagery but with varying pricing. The motherboards both include Wi-Fi 6 and 2.5 GbE LAN networking along with PCIe 5.0 storage while only the X670E Carbon will support PCIe 5.0 graphics cards. The X670E Carbon also includes upgraded power delivery circuitry with an 18+2 phase 90 A design versus 14+2 80 A on the PRO X670-P.

The three Italian retailers currently offering the boards for pre-order include the 22% Italian VAT in the price which we have deducted in the following prices. The MSI PRO X670-P WIFI is listed for between 307 EUR (315 USD) and 349 EUR (360 USD) while the MPG X670E Carbon Wi-Fi is available for 461 EUR (475 USD) and 525 EUR (540 USD). These prices would represent a significant increase from their equivalent X570 counterparts with even more expensive boards such as the MEG Ace and Godlike also expected to be released.

MSI welcomes the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 power supply unit, the world's first power supply unit to be fully ready for ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0. With graphics cards becoming all the more important, users must know what components to buy for their system if they are looking to upgrade. To understand why the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 is the ultimate future-proof power supply unit, let's begin with understanding ATX 3.0.

ATX 3.0 is Intel's new specification standard for existing PSUs. In short, ATX 3.0's main purpose is to help provide more reliability, and better power efficiency and provide graphics cards up to 600 watts of power. ATX 3.0 is created in response to graphics cards' increase in performance and the ever-increasing need for power. ATX 3.0 puts heavy emphasis on power excursions to make sure high-performance graphics cards can be sustained and your system can remain stable. Thanks to ATX 3.0 there is now an increase in efficiency while idling and a new power connector is added to help achieve all the above. ATX 3.0 added a new PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR connector that features 12+4 pins instead of the traditional 6 or 8. With the new PCIe 5.0 connector, the power supply and cable can supply up to 600 watts of power.

An alleged AMD Ryzen 7000 pre-release sample was shown running DDR5-6400 memory speed, which is already a 23 percent memory overclock on top of the DDR5-5200 native memory clock speed support. We've known since April that the Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" processors are being designed with a focus on good memory overclocking headroom, and this is the first instance of an enthusiast-class memory speed on this platform. The feat was pulled off by Toppc, a professional overclocker affiliated with MSI.

The most interesting aspect of this feat is the density. The machine is shown featuring 64 GB of memory—something currently only doable with 32 GB quad-rank (double-sided) DIMMs; or by populating all four slots on the motherboard with 16 GB dual-rank (single-sided) DIMMs, or a 2DPC setup, which would make this feat all the more impressive. The CPU-Z screenshot by Toppc reveals a DRAM clock of 3202 MHz (DDR5-6404), and timings of 32-38-38-96. The Socket AM5 Ryzen 7000 desktop processors only support DDR5 memory type (no backwards-compatibility with DDR4), and AMD states that since it is betting solely on DDR5 (with no DDR4 sidewheels), enthusiasts can expect a good memory overclocking experience.

In a couple of days, AMD will be co-hosting its Meet the Experts event with several Taiwanese motherboard makers, which are said to be showing off their upcoming X670/X670E motherboards during the event. However, courtesy of multiple sources, we already have a preview of MSI's upcoming MEG X670E Godlike motherboard. MSI itself has posted a teaser on bilibili in the PRC, which shows off the four M.2 slots the board will have, of which three supports the new-ish, slightly wider 25 mm M.2 form factor, compared to the more common 22 mm width for M.2 drives. Note that MSI writes that all four M.2 slots are PCIe 5.0, but it appears that only one of the slots is actually PCIe 5.0, with the other three being PCIe 4.0. Courtesy of Wccftech, we also have the PCB layout and Videocardz got their hands on most of the specs for the board.

The PCB layout was also annotated by @harukaze5719 to make it easier to see what some of the parts are. The board will apparently have a 24+2+1 power phase layout. It also has two additional power inputs via standard 6-pin PCIe type connectors, one for USB-PD and one that provides extra power for the PCIe slots. The board has a total of three PCIe 5.0 slots, with the first two slots sharing bandwidth and the third slot being a x4 slot that is also connected to the CPU. The board will also have eight SATA ports, two internal USB-C ports, as well as a rear one and a pair of modules around the back of which at least one should be WiFi. The board also has two Ethernet ports, one 10 Gbps and one 2.5 Gbps, at least five USB-A ports, nine fan/pump headers, a POST80 debug LED display and space for some overclocking friendly features. The 24-pin ATX power connector appears to be right-angled. Expect this to be a very premium product price wise, most likely well north of US$800.

More details of Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake CPUs have tipped up online, as someone submitted the results of a CPU-Z benchmark to the CPU-Z database. The CPU in question is most likely one of the by now, many ES samples of what should be the Core i9-13900K, which means the multiplier is still limited to 50x, which means the clock speeds can't go beyond 5 GHz. Even so, the extra E-cores helps it best the Core i9-12900K in the multithreaded test over 1400 points, using the average results for all 12900K CPUs in the database. It's also faster than the average Core i9-12900KF in the single-threaded test, but it doesn't quite manage to beat the Core i9-12900K results here.

The test system was admittedly not the very best possible hardware, as an MSI Pro Z690-A DDR4 motherboard was used and the CPU was paired with 32 GB of CAS19 DDR4 2666 MHz memory, so there's clearly potential for improvement here. The test system was also using Windows 10, which is potentially another bottleneck when it comes to taking advantage of all the extra E-cores. The E-Cores reached a top speed of 2.99 GHz, with the P-cores peaking at 4.99 GHz. The CPU was hitting 100 degrees C during the test, which suggests that some serious cooling is going to be needed for these CPUs. Intel is likely to reveal its Raptor Lake CPU's during the Intel Innovation '22 event in San Jose, which kicks off on the 27th of September.

MSI announced BIOS support and updates on our motherboards for the upcoming series of next-gen Intel CPUs.

BIOS updates will be available on its respective motherboard support pages, which can be accessed via the MSI Support website.

Back in the day, most computer monitors came in some kind of beige or off-white, but these days most monitors come in black, so seeing an almost entirely white monitor is rather uncommon. MSI's new G274QRFW delivers just that, with a white front bezel, white sides, a white stand and a mostly white back, except for a small RGB element which is covered in black plastic. The display panel measures 27-inches, is of the rapid IPS type and has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440. It supports refresh rates of up to 170 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 or 144 Hz over HDMI 2.0b. MSI has also implemented a console mode that does 120 Hz at 1080p.

The panel is of the regular 8-bit + FRC type, has a 1 ms response time and a 300 NITS brightness, with a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and it supports 125 percent of the SRGB colour gamut. The G274QRFW supports AMD Freesync Premium and is G-Sync compatible, with a refresh rate range of 48 to 170 Hz. MSI has also implemented what the company calls Night Vision, which helps brighten up dark scenes in games. The monitor also features anti-flicker technology and what MSI calls Less Blue Light Pro, which reduces the blue light emitted by the display. No word on pricing or when it will be shipping was provided.

MSI, a world leader in high-performance and innovative computing solutions, announced the Modern AM272 Series All-in-One PC featuring the latest software that can improve your productivity and security. Eye care and ergonomic design with an IPS panel which brings a wide viewing angle and enhanced viewing experience, Modern AM272 series are designed with efficiency and productivity in mind.

With a glorious design, Modern AM272 Series is designed to fit your lifestyle. The two colorways can fit in any corner well no matter in the office or at home. Not only the attractive appearance but the powerful efficacy also support your efficiency. Featuring up to 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU and Iris Xe Graphics, you can edit your video, graphics, and multi-tasking with various programs smoother and faster. In addition, the instant display function which allows you to add another monitor, and the MSI Center app with customizable A.I. functions enhance the flexibility of work.

For those wondering what happened to the Intel 12VO standard for motherboards, well, it's not dead, but it seems like the motherboard makers have chosen to largely ignore it. However, MSI has just launched a new 12VO motherboard, the PRO H610M 12VO, which is as the model name implies, a H610 based mATX motherboard. MSI is targeting the PRO H610M 12VO towards business computers and it's not hard to see why once you take a closer look at the specs. This is a bare minimum board in every aspect possible, with the chipset covered by the smallest of heatsinks and the VRMs getting none at all.

The board has a mere two DDR5 memory slots, one PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slot for an NVMe drive, a single x16 PCIe 4.0 slot and a x1 PCIe 3.0 slot, as well as a second M.2 slot for an optional CNVi or PCIe based Wi-Fi module. There's also four SATA ports, an Intel based Gigabit Ethernet port, two rear USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 port and three audio jacks via an ageing Realtek ALC897 audio chip. Rather unusually for a budget board, MSI went with a DisplayPort 1.4 and an HDMI 2.1 port, although both are limited to 4K 60p output and there's also a VGA port, just in case. MSI only appears to provide one power adapter for SATA drives, which seems to be limited to two SATA power connectors, although there's a second connector on the board, for a second SATA power cable. Overall, not a particularly impressive product, but it does at least keep Intel's 12VO platform alive for another day.

MSI today introduced the MAG CoreLiquid B line of entry-level all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. Models in the lineup include the MAG CoreLiquid B120 and B240, with radiator sizes of 120 mm x 120 mm and 240 mm x 120 mm, respectively. These coolers feature a simple, puck-shaped water-block, with an illuminated MSI Gaming logo that can be rotated to suit the orientation of your setup. The pump is integrated with the radiator, and features a 6-pole motor. The included fans feature three fixed-color LEDs (one each of red, blue, and green), turn at speeds between 500 to 2,000 RPM, pushing 21.63 to 78.73 CFM airflow. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115x, AM5, and AM4. The company didn't reveal pricing.

MSI is readying a line of high-end "smart" power supplies under the MEG Ai P-series. Some of the most relevant slides from its launch presentation were leaked to the web. courtesy g01d3nm4ng0. The PSUs feature ATX 3.0 and PCI-Express Gen 5.0 readiness, including native PCI-Express 16-pin 12VHPWR connectors that are capable of delivering 600 W of power. The lineup includes two models—the Ai1300P (1300 W), and Ai1000P (1000 W).

A key aspect of these PSUs' ATX 3.0 specification compliance is their ability to handle power excursions (spikes in load) from GPUs, ranging between 1 to 10 milliseconds in interval. Specifically, these PSUs can handle GPU power excursions that are up to 3x the nameplate load (eg: a GPU with 450 W typical power pulling 1350 W spikes). In some of the older PSUs, excursions are known to trigger the overload protection and shut down the system. The MSI MEG Ai P-series PSUs can handle excursions that are up to 2x the PSU's nameplate capacity (eg: 2600 W for the 1300 W model); and 3x that of the 16-pin connector (i.e. 1800 W). These spikes typically have a extremely narrow interval, and so they don't threaten the integrity of the circuits.

Today, MSI - the innovative computing manufacturer in gaming and creator laptops - proudly unveils a new lineup of laptops equipped with the latest 12th Gen Intel HX series processors. The new premium laptop lineup delivers not just extreme performances but an innovative set of features including the built-in mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches, exclusive built-in color calibration report and the world's first QHD 240 Hz OLED display. The new lineup promises premium gameplay and super-efficient content creation for the most performance-addicted enthusiasts and top-notch creators.

The new gaming laptop lineup features a significant performance improvement over previous models, including up to 100% increase in CPU performance. And thanks to the robust cooling system, the new gaming laptops can push the latest Intel HX processors to their limits with a whopping 150 W maximum turbo power. The exclusive MSI OverBoost technology also pushes the envelope with a combined 250 W power delivery to CPU plus GPU, promising the most immersive and premium gameplay.

Rather unexpectedly, MSI has become the third company to reveal a QD-OLED based display, after Alienware and Samsung. The MEG 342C QD-OLED as the monitor is called, uses—just like the Alienware—a curved 34-inch QD-OLED panel. However, MSI has gone for FreeSync Premium Pro over G-Sync Ultimate, which should hopefully result in a lower retail price. The resolution is also the same as on the Alienware, 3440x1440 and the two also share the same 175 Hz refresh rate, 1800R curvature, 1000 nits peak HDR brightness and DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. MSI claims the same DCI-P3 colour gamut of 99.3 percent, but the MEG 342C has a lower sRGB colour gamut of 139.1 percent versus 149 percent for the Alienware.

MSI has added a few features that the Alienware lack, such as a USB Type-C input with DisplayPort Alt Mode, KVM functionality and some MSI specific features such as a low blue-light mode and what the company calls "gaming intelligence". MSI also supports Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture, something that it's unclear if the Alienware supports or not. The MEG 342C is said to ship factory calibrated with a dE <2, which might not matter to most gamers, but should be important to anyone planning to use the display for video or photo editing work. MSI didn't disclose any pricing, nor any availability date.
