The Latency Killer – Killing DDR5 Latency for your AM5 platforms

Motherboards

MSI is devoted to providing the best gaming performance and stability for motherboards' hardware and BIOS. Today, we will introduce the new BIOS function—Latency Killer.

Killing DDR5

The Latency Killer is a new feature of MSI AMD motherboards that reduces memory latency to 12%, optimizing the latency for users. It also allows users to fine-tune latency and memory performance with other exclusive BIOS functions like EXPO / A-XMP profile, Memory Try It, High-Efficiency Mode, or manual overclocking settings.

As the AIDA64 memory benchmark result shows, the latency of Ryzen 9 9900X has improved by 12.3%, and that of Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been reduced by 8.8%.
