MSI’s Titans have always represented the absolute most you can get in a laptop. Over time, however, they’ve been shrinking in size (and hand-in-hand with that, weight) in a way that the new GT77 Titan is actually a fairly compact laptop already. Inside it, though, is the most powerful mobile graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and a Core i9-12900HX processor. Loud noise and high temperatures?
The most feature-rich—and also the most expensive—AMD AM5 motherboard we’ve had in the lab. That defines the MEG X870E Ace Max. It is intended for the most demanding users who are willing to pay a premium while expecting a great deal in return. And it certainly delivers, wouldn’t you say? We focused on the details that underscore the motherboard’s high-end capabilities. It even features two southbridge chips. Read more “MSI MEG X870E Ace Max: An Elite Board for AMD Ryzens”
Our Computex 2026 coverage continues with a visit to another of the four major manufacturers of mobos, but also graphics cards, cases, PSUs, peripherals, and more these days: MSI, who is also celebrating an anniversary at this year’s show—the company was founded in 1986. Their display, however, wasn’t actually all that much about looking back. Instead, there were plenty of new and interesting products to see, including in cooling technology.

Unreliable 12V‑2×6/12VHPWR GPU power connectors have been causing trouble for years—especially on Nvidia hardware. Unfortunately, the problem remains unresolved because the company insists on pushing the connector, meaning the risk of overheating and melting cables can only be mitigated or worked around. MSI is now introducing its own attempt at such a workaround, adding a protection and early warning feature to its power supplies.

wondering how this testing is done when everyone leave in spec 64gb ddr5 4800mhz when this laptop is not able to run 4800mhz with 2 and more inserted sticks. thats only possible with 1 stick. even msi realised this and removed it from spec. the memory is capable of 4800 in jedec 5 and 7 profile but doesnt have cmp profile and also laptop even in advanced menu doesnt have xmp profile listed just default and custom. any attempt to chamge to 4800 results in pc reitraining memory fail.its proven the xmp work if u buy different memory modules like crutial but u should not for pricetag of 5k euros. to be fair the 4000mhz is ok as its CL32 while 4800mhz would be CL 40 also during testing you should notice the gpu is runing pcie 40 x8 by design. thats not causing any performance issue as u r not able to saturate pcie 40×8 anyway but should be mentioned in my opinion.
Hello Martin, you are absolutely right. When checking the screenshots from tests I can confirm the GPU to be running PCIe 4.0 x8 and also the memory config to be 4000 MHz and CL32. We’ll check with the manufacturer why the 4800 MHz was advertised at it’s still shown at lot of eshops even at this moment.
