At CES 2025, MSI has announced a range of new PC components from Intel and AMD motherboards to new cases plus a lineup of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Cards.
MSI’S RANGE OF RTX 50 SERIES GPUS
MSI unveiled its lineup of RTX 50 series GPUs including the SUPRIM, SUPRIM Liquid, MSI Gaming Trio, Ventus 3X as well as a brand new model called the Vanguard.
The Vanguard has a hyper frozr thermal solution, a Stormforce fan for better airflow, an advanced vapor chamber and all-round quieter and better cooling and obviously it has a good amount of RGB lighting as well.
MSI is also holding a competition called the Lucky Blind Box Around The World which includes a 5080 Vanguard Edition as well as one of 10 exclusive lucky designs and a rare secret edition. You can enter that HERE.
The SUPRIM Liquid has an innovative hybrid cooling system and a design inspired by diamond-cut precision. Its 360 mm radiator, paired with STORMFORCE Fans, delivers efficient heat dissipation for peak performance, while a patented water block with a special waterway, micro-fin copper base, and automotive-grade coolant keep the GPU and VRAM running cool under heavy workloads.
The standard SUPRIM has a HYPER FROZR Thermal Design and a STORMFORCE Fan featuring seven blades with a claw texture for enhanced airflow, a precision-engineered Vapor Chamber for efficient heat transfer, and Optimized Core Pipes for improved heat dissipation
The Gaming Trio builds on MSI’s heritage of Dragon Spirit graphic cards. Featuring the TRIO FROZR 4 Thermal Design, it integrates STORMFORCE Fans with claw-textured blades, a nickel-plated copper baseplate, and airflow-enhancing technologies like Wave Curved 4.0 and Air Antegrade Fin 2.0 for effective cooling and quiet operation.
Lastly, the Ventus 3x finds that balance between performance and affordability. The Ventus GeForce RTX 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 models meet the SFF-Ready Enthusiast GeForce Card size guideline, enabling DIY gamers to find compatible mITX and mATX cases and build with confidence that components will fit.
We’re still waiting on exact pricing and release details in terms of which models will release in each exact GPU, but it’s a great time for be a PC gamer.
New Intel & AMD Motherboards
Also revealed is a range of new MSI motherboards for both Intel and AMD platforms. The Intel platform will see two new motherboards in B860 chipset: MAG B680 Tomahawk WIFI & MAG B860M Mortar WIFI with added Thunderbolt 4 support and new EZ DIY features.
On the red side, there will be four new MSI motherboards AMD users have been waiting for.
The new X870E boards: MPG X870E Edge TI WIFI and MAG X870E Tomahawk WIFI chipset design will boost PCIe lanes from 36 to 44 – improving connectivity and bandwidth plus faster Gen5 M.2 support. There will also be two B850 chipset boards for AMD: MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WIFI and MPG B850 EDGE TI WIFI.
Other key takeaways from the new MSI motherboards is the upgrade to WiFi 7 and 5G plus improved EZ DIY features.
The new motherboards drop on January 6th, 2025 with the X870E models coming sometime in Q1 2025.
MEGa New Case and Power Supply
In the PC cases department, MSI revealed a beast of an enclosure – the MEG MAESTRO 900L PZ coming in Q3 2025. The case features a stunning panoramic view with three tempered glass panels for those wanting to show off every angle of their PC. The case also supports a dual system build (ATX and ITX) for those wanting to run 2 PCs. Just in case one PC ain’t enough.
If you need a power supply that compliments the same design as the case, MSI also revealed two new power supplies with one of them: the MEG Ai1600T PCIE5 M matching the new MEG MAESTRO case.
Project Zero X
It’s not CES without a concept model and MSI has showcased a wild new motherboard design. The idea of Project Zero and MSI has released some motherboards in the past under this banner but the concept takes it a step further and it’s almost unrecognisable as a traditional motherboard.
The Project Zero X motherboard showcase features a full coverage heatsink which is a road motherboards are taking lately. The Zero-Cable design means nothing but the AIO/Cooler is visible on the front giving a clean aesthetically appealing front.
While a concept, it’s pretty cool to see MSI reinvent the wheel in terms of design.
