Features
20X faster than USB 2.0
2x faster than USB 3.0
Up to 10Gbps data transfer bandwidth
Boost transfer rate between your PC and external storage devices
Optimized for Multiple Graphics Cards
MSI motherboards feature one or more PCI Express 3.0 slots, perfectly aligned and with enough space for an optimal airflow when using multiple graphics cards. That way, you will never have to worry about an overheating PC, while you are enjoying the best graphics jumping off from your monitor when running Nvidia® SLI™ or AMD CrossFire™ gaming setup
Isolated Audio PCB
With traditional onboard audio the signal is distorted by electromagnetic signals from the rest of the PCB. Acting like a dedicated soundcard by physically isolating the audio circuitry which is separated by a isolating path. Less interference gives you a more clear audio signal.
High Quality Audio Capacitors
With the use of professional Nichicon Japanese capacitors, specially designed for audio purposes, 970A SLI Krait Edition delivers high fidelity crystal clear sound with exceptional acoustics and realism.
