Msi x299 tomahawk arctic is announced

MSI has announced the launch of its new X299 Tomahawk Arctic motherboard to receive the new HEDT processors from Intel, it is a solution with the manufacturer's characteristic arctic color scheme for a very attractive aesthetic.

MSI X299 Tomahawk Arctic

The MSI X299 Tomahawk Arctic is a new motherboard with the same configuration as the X299 Tomahawk, but it opts for a differentiated aesthetic and led by a PCB with white and gray tones. The VRM heatsinks and DDR4 DIMM slots and PCI-Express also bet on the same aesthetic. Specifically we have eight slots with support for a maximum of 128 GB of DDR4 memory in Quad Chanel although this will depend on the processor that we mount, we continue with four PCIe 3.0 x16 slots for graphics cards with which we can design a system with excellent potential for video games.

The MSI X299 Tomahawk Arctic draws the power it needs to operate using a combination of an 8-pin EPS connector plus a 24-pin ATX connector. It has a powerful 9-phase VRM power supply, which will provide great power and electrical stability to achieve higher levels of overclocking. The first and third of the four PCIe slots are reinforced so they can easily support the weight of the most powerful and heavy-duty graphics cards on the market (why not all four MSIs?). Regarding storage, we find two M.2 32 Gb / s slots, one U.2 32 Gb / s port and eight SATA III 6 Gb / s ports, so we can have large doses of storage as well as being able to combine speed without problems. of SSDs and the large capacity of HDDs.

We continue with a Gigabit Ethernet network interface with the Intel i219-V controller and a Realtek ALC1150 sound system with up to 115 dBA SNR, solid capacitors and a separate section of the PCB to avoid the interferences that could cause the operation of the rest of the components.

Price has not been announced.
