Technical Specifications
MSI Exclusive / World’s First Technologies
Professional Power and Efficiency
CoolerBoost 3 – Keep Cool under Pressure
Heat is one of the most original forms of energy on earth. As the law of physics says that more energy can generate more heat, cooling is therefore a knotty yet inevitable task to take on.
MSI’s advanced ‘CoolerBoost 3’ employs two dedicated fans for the GPU and the CPU. Joined by a total number of five heat pipes made of thermally efficient copper, even more contact surfaces are assured on top of the ample airflow that the dual-fan design allows. Now the top-notch thermal engineering of MSI CoolerBoost3 is never so handy. With just one press on the ‘fan boost’ button, the decision for effective heat exchanging is right on the fingertips, making the world’s most efficient yet considerate thermal solution.
SuperRAID4 Storage Solution – Capacity and Speed in a Matter of Seconds
MSI SuperRAID4 technology is the market’s most advanced and fastest storage solution. Consisting of two NVMe PCI-E Gen.3x4 SSDs in RAID0 setup, this storage solution takes all the bandwidth as well as scalability advantages that are there to fully unleash the potential of SSDs. At a read speed of over 3300MB/s, SuperRAID4 can save a professional’s day when frequent access to large-size data sets is essential.
Advantageous NVMe PCI-E Gen.3 SSD
Get the most advanced storage before everyone else with the latest 4-lane PCI-E Gen.3 SSD that marries NVMe logical interface, which reads at a top speed of 2200MB/s – that is 5x faster than SATA3 interfaced SSDs.
*Optional for WT72 6QI with HM170 PCH Series.
DDR4-2133 - New Memory Benchmark
With over 2.9GB/s reading speed and 3.5GB/s in writing, and more than 30% faster performance than DDR3-1600, the DDR4-2133 is the new benchmark for premium mobile workstations that takes work efficiency into a whole new level.
Higher Reliability of ECC DDR4-2133 Memory Support
System stability is paramount when weighing quality of mobile workstations. With MSI WT72, Error Correcting Code (ECC) DDR4 memory is the key to the peace of mind. ECC memory detects and corrects single-bit memory errors that can lead to data corruption and further cause system crush, and gives substantial improvements on memory stability as well as accuracy during important design works.
*Optional for WT72 with CM236 PCH Series.
Super Port – One USB-C Port Fits All Needs
Transfer massive files faster than ever with up to 40Gbps transfer speed. Get more pixel power with dual 4K displays and extend your field of view with daisy chain capabilities. Even charge your mobile phone, tablet and any device faster on-the-go or at home (support up to 3A current).
Silver-lining Keyboard Printing
For road warriors, working in dark environments is not impossible. Silver-lining printing offers absolute legibility by allowing better backlight penetration through the durable coating of every individual key. Accompanied by SteelSeries multicolor backlit keyboard and SSE application, MSI mobile workstations offer like-no-other value-added that can be visually enjoyed and touched.
*Optional for only few language keyboard layouts
Nahimic Audio Enhancer
The military knows the importance of how precise definition of sound can change the rules of war. It is the only reason for the French military to adopt Nahimic Technology into its fighting aircraft training simulators. Directional sound effects and crystal clear dialogue during a mission are two critical elements. Now, you get to enjoy a whole new audio experience, and take best advantage of your professional applications with this true military technology.
Audiophile Speakers by DYNAUDIO
Jointly designed by MSI and the Danish Hi-Fi master Dynaudio, this true 2.1 speaker system is embedded in the MSI WT72 mobile workstations, offering an audiophile experience thanks to the 50% boost of precise amplification and an over 10dBA volume increase compared to the previous gen. WT72. Sound reproduction is never so true on mobile workstations.
TrueColor Technology – Visually-appealing Mobile Workstation
Vision and sound are the highest concerns that define success in the field of professional 3D-modeling. You now get to see clearer than that of your rivals see, getting one step ahead of the rest.
*Besides Designer Mode, True Color Technology also offers prefect color accuracy for 5 more scenarios.
