Performance:

PCB With 2oz Thickened Copper:

The upgraded PCB features 2oz of copper across power and ground layers, enhancing electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. This design improves heat dissipation and maintains stable performance, especially under heavy loads or during overclocking.

Lightning Gen 4 PCI-E:

Equipped with the latest PCIe 4.0 technology, MSI’s Lightning Gen 4 PCIe delivers up to 64 Gb/s bandwidth—double that of the previous generation—enabling blazing-fast data transfer for next-generation graphics cards and expansion cards. Backward and forward compatible, this high-speed interface is reinforced with Steel Armor and built on a server-grade PCB for maximum durability and reliability.

A Huge Step of DDR Performance:

MSI’s OC LAB has significantly refined memory performance on B550 motherboards compared to earlier B450 models. With improved A-XMP profile support and optimized power delivery, achieving high-speed, stable DDR4 performance is simple—just enable A-XMP in BIOS for automatic tuning to unlock your memory’s full potential.

Core Boost:

Core Boost enhances CPU power delivery through an advanced circuit design and optimized VRM layout. This ensures rapid, clean, and precise current flow to the processor, supporting modern multi-core CPUs and creating an ideal foundation for CPU overclocking.

Audio:

Audio Boost:

The motherboard’s Audio Boost technology features a dedicated high-definition audio processor, premium audio capacitors, and HD audio connectors to deliver pure, high-fidelity sound with exceptional clarity and realism for both stereo and surround setups.

Isolated Audio Signal:

To prevent electrical interference, the audio components are physically separated on a distinct section of the board, using independent PCB layers for left and right audio channels. This isolation ensures pure, balanced, and high-fidelity sound output with minimal noise.

BIOS & Software:

MSI Center:

MSI Center is a unified software platform that brings together all essential MSI utilities into one intuitive interface. From system monitoring to performance tuning, this all-in-one application makes it easy to manage your motherboard’s advanced features and customize your setup with ease.
