MSI B85M PRO-VD Intel B85 Socket H3 (LGA 1150) Micro ATX motherboard

Socket LGA1150, Intel B85 Chipset, 2 x DDR3 up to 16GB, 1 x Gigabit Ethernet, 6 x SATA, 1 x PCI-Express x16, 2 x PCI-Express x1 MILITARY CLASS 4

Military Class 4 is the next step in high quality components. The Dark Choke and Solid CAP will make sure that your PC runs more stable under extreme gaming conditions.

DARK CHOKE

Dark Choke uses the special core design and allows the Dark Choke to run at a lower temperature with higher capacity and better power efficiency and stability.

SOLID CAP

With their aluminum core design and Japanese made quality, Solid CAPs are made for high-end design motherboard. Not only do Solid CAPs could provide lower Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), but also work firmly for over-10-year.

MILITARY CLASS ESSENTIALS

The core of Military Class 4 is based on the essentials which increase your stability in the worst conditions. The humidity protection and high temperature protection ensure your system surviving each environment, no matter how harsh. The new structure of the PCB limits EMI radiation. On top of that all the connectors have ESD protection in order to prevent short circuit.

Humidity Protection

The latest Gen 4 Fabric PCB helps to against moisture cause by some humid conditions and environments.

EMI Protection

The optimized EMI-proof design helps to keep users safe when during a long-time computer operation.

ESD Protection

Anti-ESD ICs and fuses onboard helps to totally protect your motherboard from electrostatic damage.

HIGH Temperature Protection

Certificated Military Class 4 components help to work stable under some extreme conditions.

STEEL ARMOR
4x Strength

Steel Armor has more solder points on the PCB for more strength and protects the PCI-Express signals against electromagnetic interference for a stutter-free gaming experience and higher GPU overclocking.

ISOLATED AUDIO PCB

With traditional onboard audio the signal is distorted by electromagnetic signals from the rest of the PCB. Acting like a dedicated sound card by physically isolating the audio circuitry which is separated by a isolating path. Less interference gives you a more clear audio signal.

HIGH QUALITY AUDIO CAPACITORS

With the use of professional audio capacitors, specially designed for audio purposes, this motherboard delivers high fidelity crystal clear sound with exceptional acoustics and realism.

- Acoustic series
- Lower Tolerance
- Lower Dielectric Absorption
- Lower ESR
- Lower Leakage Current
- Higher Stability
