MSI Z87 MPower LGA 1150 ATX Motherboard features a massive 16-phase DigitALL VRM, Intel Z87 chipset, and DDR3-3000(OC) support — engineered for extreme Haswell CPU overclocking and multi-GPU setups.

Product Details

Overview

The MSI Z87 MPower is an enthusiast-grade ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z87 Express chipset, engineered specifically for extreme overclockers and high-performance system builders. Utilizing MSI's rigorous 'OC Certified' testing standards, this motherboard features premium Military Class 4 components, including Highly-conductive Polymerized Capacitors (Hi-c CAPs), Super Ferrite Chokes (SFC), and Dark Capacitors, ensuring unmatched stability under sub-zero cooling or high-voltage 24/7 operation.

Architecture & Performance

Optimized for Intel's 4th Generation 'Haswell' architecture (22nm LGA 1150 processors like the Core i7-4770K), the Z87 MPower leverages a massive 16-phase DigitALL VRM power delivery system to feed clean, ripple-free power to the CPU. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory overclocked up to 3000MHz, unlocking massive memory bandwidth. For graphics, the board offers native PCIe Gen 3.0 bandwidth, supporting multi-GPU configurations in 2-Way SLI or 3-Way CrossFire modes, making it an exceptional foundation for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p legacy gaming systems or legacy GPU compute rigs.
