It is the first time to feature up to a 16 phase DrMOS PWM modules with Super Ferrite Choke (SFC) that offers high power supply capability and efficiency. And with SuperPipe, the built-in extra-thick 8mm heat-pipe, cooling capabilities are further strengthened. The high-end design featuring exclusive dual 8-pin and extra VGA 6-pin power supply connectors allow the MSI Big Bang-XPower mainboard to not only have highly praised durability, but to also significantly reduce crashes or lagging caused by overheated hardware.

And the OC Dashboard allows users to avoid entering the BIOS to adjust CPU clock and voltage directly. With the V-Kit’s V-Check Points and V-Switch, users don’t need to modify circuits; they can use a multimeter to directly measure and manually adjust CPU, VTT, and DDR voltage. These features are all equally attentive designs for overclokers who enjoy challenging the extremes of overclocking.
