ProcessorAMD Ryzen 7 8700F; 8 cores / 16 threads, 4.1–5.0 GHz, 65 W

A Zen 4, 4 nm, AM5-socket processor with 8 MB L2 + 16 MB L3 cache. It has no integrated graphics, so video comes from the graphics card. AMD lists an AI engine of up to 16 TOPS.

MSI		Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF; 20 cores / 20 threads, 3.9 GHz base, up to 5.5 GHz; 125 W TDP; 30 MB cache

The KF version has no integrated graphics, so the monitor always connects to the graphics card. The unlocked chip allows overclocking on the Z890 chipset.

MSI
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (desktop), 8 GB GDDR7, 128-bit; 3840 CUDA cores; 145 W total graphics power

Figures are for NVIDIA’s reference design; the board partner card may differ in clock speed. It supports DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. The laptop RTX 5060 is a different power class.

MSI		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 16 GB; 1 × HDMI, 3 × DisplayPort

The desktop card runs at a higher power limit than the laptop GPU of the same name. The case takes graphics cards up to 400 mm long, leaving room for a longer card later.

MSI
Video outputs1 × HDMI 2.1; 3 × DisplayPort (on the graphics card)

Because the CPU has no integrated graphics, the monitor must be connected to the graphics card ports, not the motherboard.

Memory16 GB DDR5

AMD lists DDR5-5200 with one or two modules per channel and up to 256 GB for the Ryzen 7 8700F. The sheet does not state how many modules are installed.

MSI		32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5 U-DIMM; 4 slots (2 free), up to 128 GB

The MSI datasheet gives memory speed as up to 5600 MHz.

MSI

Model code—MPG Infinite X3 AI 2NVR7-641EU (part no. 9S6-B942111-879); black

The Infinite X3 AI 2nd is sold in the same case with Core Ultra 7/9 and RTX 5070 to RTX 5090 configurations; the 2NVR7 code marks the Core Ultra 7 and RTX 5070 Ti.

MSI
Motherboard—Intel Z890 chipset; PCIe 5.0 x16 (from CPU), PCIe 4.0 x1 and 2 × PCIe 4.0 x4 (from chipset)

Slots other than the graphics slot are for add-in cards such as sound, network or capture cards; a wide graphics card can cover some of them.

MSI
Storage—1 TB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD; 4 M.2 slots (3 free); 1 × 2.5-inch and 2 × 3.5-inch free bays

According to the datasheet, one M.2 slot is PCIe Gen5 x4, two are Gen4 x4 and one is a SATA/PCIe Gen4 x4 combo.

MSI
CPU cooler—Liquid cooling, 360 mm all-in-one (AIO) MSI
Power supply—850 W ATX, 80 PLUS Gold

MSI uses 850, 1000 and 1200 W ATX 3.1 units across the family, depending on SKU. The standard ATX size means the unit can be replaced later.
