MSI MEG X399 Creation Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The MSI MEG X399 Creation WiFi is a high-end E-ATX motherboard built around the AMD X399 chipset and Socket TR4, designed to support 1st and 2nd Generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors. Its robust 19-phase fully digital power delivery system, paired with a heat-pipe heatsink design and dual 8-pin ATX 12V power connectors, provides stable and ample power for extreme multi-core workloads. The board accommodates up to eight DDR4 memory slots in a quad-channel configuration, supporting a maximum of 128 GB of DDR4 memory at speeds up to DDR4 3600 (OC). ECC UDIMM memory is also supported, broadening its appeal for professional and workstation use cases. Storage options are extensive: eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports are provided via the AMD X399 chipset, while three onboard M.2 Key-M slots (supporting PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA 6 Gb/s) accommodate NVMe and SATA SSDs in 2242, 2260, 2280, and up to 22110 form factors. MSI's M.2 Shield FROZR thermal solution helps keep M.2 drives at optimal operating temperatures. AMD StoreMI technology is also supported. For graphics, the MEG X399 Creation offers two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots, and one PCIe 2.0 x1 slot, enabling 3-Way NVIDIA SLI and 3-Way AMD CrossFire multi-GPU configurations. Networking is handled by dual Intel I211AT Gigabit LAN controllers and an Intel Wireless-AC 9260 card providing dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) at speeds up to 1.73 Gbps, alongside Bluetooth 5. Audio is delivered via a Realtek ALC1220 codec supporting 7.1-channel HD audio and S/PDIF optical output. Thermal management features 10 PWM fan headers and three dedicated thermal sensor connectors, giving builders granular control over cooling. MSI Mystic Light RGB lighting supports 16.8 million colours across 17 effects, with headers for 12 V RGB strips, 5 V WS2812B addressable strips, and a Corsair connector.
