MSI B660M mortar MAX overclocked i5-12400 to 5.3GHz, and its performance was improved by 24%.

CTOnews.com August 18 news, in July, MSI launched the B660M mortar MAX motherboard, which supports ultra-external frequency, with an initial launch of 1249 yuan. According to the latest official test data, the motherboard overclocked i5-12400 to 5.3GHz, improving performance by 24%.

CTOnews.com learned that MSI has adjusted the external frequency of the i5-12400 processor to 130 CPU main frequency has come to 5.33GHz, the frequency is higher than the default frequency 2.83GHz.

In Cinebench R23, the score of i5-12400 is 1605 for single thread and 12359 for multi-thread by default. After overclocking, single-thread comes to 2002 points, multi-thread 15338 points. Single-threading increased by 24.7%, and multi-threaded by 24.1%. In the 3DMARK TIME SPY test, the score of the CPU part increased from 9301 to 11245, an increase of about 20.9%. According to officials, the i5-12400 processor easily rushed to 5.3G, improving by more than 20 per cent in both benchmark computing and 3D games.

The motherboard will support PCIe 5.0, MSI said. To support PCI-E 5.0, this motherboard has been upgraded to a server-grade PCB board on PCB, and also incorporates 2oz copper foil to greatly improve electrical performance, with 12x 1x 1phase power supply and support for dual PCIe 4.0SSD. In addition, the motherboard supports Wi-Fi 6e, while the old DDR4 version of the mortar motherboard is equipped with a Wi-Fi 6 network card. In addition, a new overclocking engine (clock signal generator) is added to the MSI MAG B660M MORTAR MAX WIFI DDR4 motherboard, which can realize the super external frequency of CPU.
