MSI's Game-Changing Motherboard Connector for Enhanced GPU Performance

MSI's Innovative Power Connector

MSI has unveiled a new lineup of X870 and X870E AMD motherboards, which include an exciting new eight-pin PCIe power connector. This enhancement supports boosting the overall ability of the board to power your GPU, CPU, fans, and other components simultaneously by delivering an extra 252W of peak power.

Understanding the New Connector

While you still need additional power connectors for direct connections to your GPU, these new MSI boards are designed to handle the extreme power requirements typical of top-tier systems better. This isn't merely a cable-management tool; rather, it delivers broad power to the entire board rather than just individual components. Unlike previous supplemental power connectors, this feature ensures a significant surge in power delivery capability.

• Peak power service of 252W
• Supports AMD Ryzen 9 9950X combined with MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090
• Potentials for enhanced fan and RGB lighting setups

Future Releases

With these powerful specifications, MSI's AMD X870 and X870E motherboards are set to release on September 26. With anticipated higher prices due to the added technologies, we also recommend considering less power-hungry options like the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D for those focused on gaming performance.
