Cooling Overview

B650M PROJECT ZERO
  1. Extended Heatsink

    Extended Heatsink enlarges the surface of heat dissipation, ensuring even high- end processors to run in full speed.

  2. M.2 Shield Frozr

    Keeps M.2 SSDs safe while preventing throttling, making them run faster.

  3. Heavy Plated VRM Heatsink

    The VRM heatsink covers the upper MOS and helps dissipate the heat.

  4. 7W/mK Thermal Pad & Additional
    Choke Pad

    High quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and extra choke thermal pads ensure all cores running in high performcance.

Performance Switch combines the benefits of AMD default PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) and MSI’s own OC settings, provides higher CPU performance in both status of single-core and multi-core. This is for users who dare for the maximum performance.

msi fully control software

MSI PBO Thermal profiles are setting maximum CPU temperature at 85°C, 75°C and 65°C levels. With the thermal profiles, the CPU operates at lower voltage and temperature but remaining the same performance.

msi ai cooling feature

Config TDP is designed to provide ECO Mode (65W) or different TDP (PPT/TDC/EDC) settings for advanced users. By offering several profiles for different TDP settings in Click BIOS 5, Config TDP makes setting TDP profiles easier and don’t need to modify settings manually for each TDP.
