One hits the top! MEG Aegis Ti5 11th gaming table unboxing
MSI’s highest-end gaming host MEG Aegis Ti5 11th is always updated with the latest hardware. This generation is replaced by the 11th generation Intel Core i9-11900K processor with 8 cores and 16 threads with a Turbo clock of up to 5.3GHz. Also upgrade the system disk to PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD, and match MSI GeForce RTX 3090 VENTUS 3X 24G graphics card, and 4 DIMM DDR4 32GB-3200 memory.
A top-ranking flagship gaming host, MEG Aegis Ti5 11th is designed with a sense of futuristic technology, color HMI man-machine interface knobs and RGB lighting effects, and uses Silent Storm Cooling 4 design. The CPU uses MSI 240mm AIO water cooling for heat dissipation. And plan the heat dissipation design for the three partitions of VGA, CPU, and PSU.
In addition, MEG Aegis Ti5 11th also has Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 connection capabilities, and 2.5GbE + 1GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6 triple network specifications; the host adopts 850W 80 Plus gold SFX power supply, which is medium and large. It is 551 x 239 x 511 mm and weighs 15.6kg.
↑ The packaging of MEG Aegis Ti5 11th is also quite solid, assembled in a two-layer outer box.
↑ First, disassemble the fixing buttons of the first layer of outer box.
↑ Next is the second layer of colored outer box.
After disassembling the outer box of the two-layer MEG Aegis Ti5 11th, the internal host is wrapped in a woven mesh cloth, and is protected by a customized anti-collision foam. There is also a box of accessories in the box. The overall packaging is very high-quality.
↑ Two-layer outer box + anti-collision foam protection.
↑ The machine is covered with a woven mesh bag and a box of accessories.
The appearance of the MEG Aegis Ti5 11th is quite dramatic. The front and top are black acrylic on the entire surface, which brings a slightly mysterious texture. The upper part can also give a glimpse of the internal lighting effects of the graphics card when the computer is turned on, and the light lines after turning on the computer. Under the embellishment, the host has a unique texture.
In a special inverted configuration, the power supply is located in the circular compartment, the middle is the motherboard, and the top is the graphics card, which makes the main unit a bit like a heavy machine; and there are earphones on the left and right sides of the main unit. Hooks, these two hooks are more like handles of heavy machines when they are opened.
↑ A futuristic gaming table.
↑ The light and HMI knobs are hidden under the black texture of the mirror.
↑ Open the handle to drag racing (by mistake), it can be used as a headset hanger.
The left and right sides of the main unit are designed symmetrically, and they also have a styling design, LED light bar and heat dissipation holes.

There is a metal handle on the back of the main unit, which allows players to exert force when moving the main unit. In the main unit upside down configuration, the graphics card is located directly above, followed by the main board and cooling fan, and the power supply is at the bottom.
The host connectivity is also quite good. In addition to the basic USB 3.2 Gen 2, there are also USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type C and Thunderbolt 4 Type C that support PD 60W / DP 1.4a / USB 4 and other connection capabilities; the network is Intel WGI225V Combination of 2.5GbE, Intel WGI219V 1GbE and Intel WiFi 6E AX210 / BT 5.1.

If you want to upgrade the 2.5” device by yourself, just loosen the two screws on the rear side panel, and then pull back to remove the side panel. However, the side panel is equipped with LED light bar and has a connection line. After removing the side panel, remember to loosen the connection line. open.
↑ There are LED light bars on both side panels. Remember to loosen the wires when removing the side panels.
On the right side of the host, you can see the upper MSI GeForce RTX 3090 VENTUS 3X 24G graphics card, as well as the 240mm radiator used by the CPU. Due to limited space, the water pump is directly designed in the center of the cold row; the cold head has an MSI dragon soul shape and is water-cooled by a woven network. tube.
In addition, due to the limited internal space due to the design, the cold exhaust fan is set to push the waste heat in the host to the cold exhaust and exhaust it out of the fuselage. The fan at the rear of the host is also configured for air outlet, so there is no fan configuration for active intake in the case The heat dissipation of the host is a pity.

The motherboard provides three M.2 expansions, two are located on the front and both have a SAMSUNG MZ-VL21T00 SSD installed. This PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD with a capacity of 1TB, but the Z590 only has the first M.2 support PCIe 4.0 specification , So the other SSD runs on the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 x4, which is also quite expensive.
It’s just that PCIe 4.0 SSDs are all used, but M.2 SSDs and VRM components are not equipped with heat sinks. People are a little worried about the heat dissipation of the continuous writing of the SSD when downloading games. However, the test depends on the inside of the case. The basic romance may still be able to sustain it.
↑ Two 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs on the front.
↑ The 3.5” HDD of the main unit is hung in the space under the cabinet.
The left side of the host is behind the CPU and VRM, and a cooling fan is added to improve the passive cooling effect. I wonder if the front side of the heat sink will be more helpful than this wind cooling the motherboard!
