MSI X79 series mainboard based on whole new Military Class III components
To achieve top quality and stability, the all new X79 series mainboard series adopts a 5-star Military Class III component design. With DrMOS II - the next generation of DrMOS with improved double thermal protection - the lifetime of components is maximized, even in warmer environments or when the machine is heavily overclocked. MSI X79 series mainboards also feature the latest PCI Express Gen 3 bus and MSI's proprietary Click BIOS II for maximum performance and user convenience. When taking into account all of the other advanced technologies X79 series mainboards support, such as 3-Way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX multi-GPU processing technology, THX TruStudio PRO sound, Multi-BIOS II, Control Center II, and Super Charger, MSI’s X79 mainboard series is simply the best for enthusiasts!
