To maximise performance, the components are outfitted with MSI’s Silent Storm Cooling 4 cooling technology. The desktop also has the world’s first HMI Gaming Dial, which provides gamers with the ability to instantly modify system performance settings and customise animations.

The MEG Trident X targets gamers who desire desktops with a smaller footprint.
