OPTIMIZED PCB SOLUTION

The PCB design has been optimized for higher bandwidth and faster transfer speeds, which is also beneficial for reliable circuit transmission.

Protection

Solid pin design

The 4-pin, 8-pin, and 24-pin power connectors of MSI motherboards are all designed with solid pins. The solid pin design allows for a more stable transmission of 12V power to the CPU, even when handling high current loads.

Advantages of Solid Pin Power connector

    Improved stability : Larger contact area enhances stability during power delivery.

    Low impedance : Solid pins offer low impedance, enabling efficient power flow.

    Strong durability : The solid pin design ensures strong durability, capable of withstanding demanding conditions.

    Suitable for high-current applications.

PERFORMANCE

Expansion
