MSI Aegis 3 Technical Features

Unboxing and design

A large and full-color box presents the new MSI Aegis 3 barebone, as usual on the cover we see a great image of the product.

On the back we have all the main technical characteristics and its compatibility with virtual reality glasses.

Once we open the box we find the following bundle inside:

• MSI Aegis 3. Power cable. DS4200 keyboard and DSB1 mouse signed by MSI.

The MSI Aegis 3 is an excellent pre-assembled desktop computer in which the manufacturer has put its usual care in all products.

The MSI Aegis 3 features aggressive and angular lines, with an upper area formed by 5 fins that allow the hot air outlet inside the equipment to be improved to improve its cooling. We also see a handle on the back that makes it easy to move.

The left side offers us a large window to see the inside of the team.

In the back of the MSI Aegis 3 we find all the different ports of the I / O panel of the motherboard as well as 4 screw levers that serve to release the sides and access the interior.

To access the GTX 1070 we just need to unscrew the top cover and slide it to the side thanks to its hinges. This cover includes a fan and offers us the possibility of installing a second one to further improve the cooling of the equipment. These two fans will have the function of extracting all the heat generated by the graphics card.

It is a very powerful team to run video games thanks to a configuration based on a GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card that has shown excellent behavior.

In this MSI Aegis 3 it is very easy to access the SO-DIMM slots as well as the included M.2 PCIe SSD and the free SATA port to add an additional 2.5-inch SSD or HDD.

The graphics card is accompanied by an advanced and very powerful quad-core Intel Core i7 7700K processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture at frequencies of 3.6 GHz in base mode and 4.2 GHz in turbo mode. Accompanying the processor we find 16 GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM memory in a dual chanel configuration, the equipment has two free slots so it can be expanded up to 64 GB.

Storage is provided by a combination of 256GB of M.2 NVMe SSD technology and a 1TB mechanical disk, so you can enjoy all the benefits of flash storage without sacrificing the high capacity of mechanical disks, thanks to the presence of a free slot you can add a second M.2 disk in Raid 0 mode.

As much power generates a lot of heat no matter how efficient all the components are, the MSI Aegis 3 has the advanced Silent Storm Cooling 2 cooling technology that is responsible for cooling all the components in an excellent way and maintaining very high clock frequencies for long periods of time. game sessions for maximum performance. We note that the equipment is powered by a 450W source with 80 Plus Bronze for less energy loss in the form of heat.

The specifications of the MSI Aegis 3 are completed with the presence of a Killer LAN E2500 network interface, Intel Wireless-AC 3168, Bluetooth 4.1, a Slim DVD recorder, 4x USB 2.0, 5x USB 3.0, USB Type-C, 3x DisplayPort, 2x HDMI, and high-quality 7.1- channel audio compatible with Nahimic 2.0. This technology will make you feel the position of all your rivals in the game to take you straight to victory, Nahimic transports gamers directly to the battlefield, allowing each footstep, each bullet and explosion to be felt.

The team presents an advanced lighting system made up of several configurable RGB LED strips in a very simple way with the application that MSI makes available to users for Windows 10, we can change the colors and light effects. Finally we see its connections in the form of USB-C, USB, audio and on / off button.

Benchmark and in-game testing

We have MSI Gaming software that allows us to monitor, control almost any component, and high-performance applications that are great to leave installed. We really liked the work done by MSI.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Rock Z170 Extreme 4 Review

We also leave you all the technical specifications that CPU-Z and GPU-Z offer us along with a test of the SSD disk in Crystal Disk Mark.

To test the overall performance of the team we have used the three most common resolution settings with the most used titles today. We know that testing games is much more realistic than a thousand and a thousand benchmark tests that often mess you up more. So let's get down to business:

Temperatures and consumption

Final words and conclusion on MSI Aegis 3

We find that the MSI Aegis 3 is a team with very compact dimensions and offering great performance. The incorporation of the seventh generation Intel Kaby Lake processors and a fantastic 8 GB GTX 1070 graphics card (MSI Gaming Model) makes it a powerful PC with excellent temperatures / consumption.

We recommend reading the best graphics cards on the market.

We really liked that the team allows you to connect the HTC Vive virtual glasses for its front connection and its excellent performance in games such as Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter and lifelong games on PC: Crysis 3 or the new Overwatch.

It also comes standard with keyboard, mouse and Windows 10 license. The possibility of expansion are good, although the most negative point that we see is that the heatsink of the processor is upgradeable and could have been looking for a gap for a 120mm liquid cooling inside the box.

Its sale price is estimated at 1, 900 euros, surely it is not a price very affordable for all budgets, but surely you have fallen in love with this little monster.
