MSI’s components show case at Computex was impressive, but in the end I fell in love with braces

I spent yesterday with the floor of Computex 2025View the latest and best computing technology of the year, and I had to spend a lot of time in the MSI Booth.
As one of the largest PC component makers in the world, MSI had much to show off in the field of components, from cases to graphic cards to motherboards, and everything I had expected from MSI (their components are great), or even better, some limited edition and concept products that everyone would like to include in their own PC -BUILD.

Starting at the Premium Build side of things, the MSI Meg Maestro 900L is a real showpiece of a PC case with a three-sided curved glass housing with diamond beads and support for an adapted liquid koellus. It is more or less a perfect thing for a high-end build that is not a fully tailor-made design.

Subsequently, the Ironmouse Vtuber theme saw PC-Build with components of the IronMouse brand brand fantastic and the type of Build and component design that should inspire many builders to go for a similar look.
It is clear that graphic cards are a large part of MSI’s stand this year, and that is logical, since it consistently has part of the Best graphics cards On the market, especially at the higher end of the stack, such as the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Suprim Liquid SOC, but also smaller form factor cards at the bottom of the stack such as the new MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Inspire 2x OC.
Of course, with so many components, you could build a whole PC from only MSI parts, and MSI did its best to present some of his do-it-yourself innovations aimed at making PC buildings easier and less intimidating for first builders.
In addition to the mainstream graphic map setup, MSI also showed the new MSI GeForce RTX 5080 expert OC and RTX 4080 Super Expert OC cards with a cool-looking grill design built into their Schur.

A number of great special edition cards were also shown, such as the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Cyclone Visual OC, a single, big fan design that has an LCD display in the middle.
Of course there was also the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Suprim Titanium Edition SOC card with a luxury gold-colored finish. I can’t say how much this card you would put back, but I can’t imagine it is cheap, even according to RTX 5090 standards.
But the part that really stolen my heart on the MSI stand yesterday was a simple bracket, of which I am not even sure if you could buy alone, but it would come with the MSI MPG Coreliquid P13 360 AIO Cooler.
Look, here is the thing. I test many processors for my reviews and functions, and this often means that I change motherboards with different chipsets. But to keep results comparable between Intel And AMD Processors, I really need everything else on the test bench to stay the same, including the AIO cooler.
The problem, however, is that mounting CPU coolers between AMD and Intel is not standardized. Instead, both chip makers have otherwise oriented their assembly screws. Intel’s CPU -cooler fixings form a square, while AMD forms a rectangle with an uneven length and height.
This means that I have to exchange the mounting bracket for the AIO cooler every time I switch between the two chip brands, and losing one of those brackets is an absolute nightmare that can destroy that days of testing. I know this because it happened to me more than once.
Enter the MSI Unibracket. A single bracket that works with both Intel LGA 1700/1851 and AMD AM4/AM5 motherboard confirmations.
As soon as I saw the unibracket, I wanted to scream, because the solution to the problem is so blinding, I do not understand how this part is not standardized for every CPU cooler manufacturer.
Their loss, however, is the profit of MSI, because once I have a Coreliquid P13 360 AIO cooler in the laboratory, it is almost guaranteed to be my go-to CPU cooler for the Testbench for the near future.
