Get to the
Next Level with MSI
An Ovation for Innovation
When it comes to innovation, MSI has always been a leader in researching and creating next level technology for the gaming community. This year, MSI has created a wide variety of gaming products to elevate the competition and CES Consumer Technology Association has recognized the Trident 3 Arctic Gaming desktop, the Infinite X Gaming desktop, the Optix MPG27CQ, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti LIGHTNING, and the Z370 GODLIKE GAMING as products that demonstrate innovation in their respective categories.
Built with the performance of a desktop, but in the size of a gaming console is what the Trident 3 Arctic is all about. With a beautiful white frosted exterior outlined with silver trim, the Trident 3 Arctic is not only a gaming machine, but also a beautiful center piece for any home theatre setup. The Trident 3 Arctic utilizes the Intel 8th Generation six-core 65W CPU, and the most unique factor is the use of a desktop graphics card allowing it to perform in the same category as high end gaming desktops. With this specific design, the MSI Trident 3 Arctic is pioneering the market's first front VR port enableing gamers to easily connect VR devices, and enjoy the fun of VR right in their homes. When looking at small form factor gaming desktops, cooling is always a major concern. The MSI Trident 3 Artic, however, easily addresses this issue with the use of MSI's exclusive Silent Storm cooling 2 technology. The CPU and GPU can be independently cooled to provide independent airflow and circulation and maintaining the overall gaming stability.

MSI’s original Infinite X design was conceived to provide gamers with a no-nonsense, game-winning solution for the most intensive needs. It looks like a traditional tower computer from the outside, but MSI has invested substantial resources to push the limits of performance– especially critical to this is the Silent Storm Cooling 3 technology. The computer runs at full speed during gaming and will produce a high temperature level, which is resolved by the Silent Storm Cooling 3 technology. MSI has split the computer chassis into 3 chambers, resulting in the gaming experience-degrading high temperature-consuming components – including the CPU, GPU and PSU – diverted separately to different individual chambers. This enables each component to have separate individual airflow and cycles; differentiating the MSI Infinite X from other brands’ traditional tower computer chassis designs that have a single chamber, where all heat-producing components are lumped together and result in overheating.
