PinSafe Design: MSI Сhanges the Way Motherboards Are Designed

At Computex 2025, MSI presented a new vision of motherboard design — PinSafe Design. This innovation should eliminate the age-old problem of scratched fingers from sharp protrusions on the back of the board. With this new approach, MSI promises to make PC assembly safer and more convenient.

Fewer Spikes, More Convenience

PinSafe Design is a new method of soldering components that avoids the traditional sharp spikes on the back of the textolite. Instead, there are flat, neat contact points. This reduces the risk of hand injuries, eliminates the need for protective gloves, and makes the process of upgrading or assembling the system much more enjoyable.

And while this change may seem cosmetic, it was made possible by a complex engineering effort. After all, these spikes were an integral part of standard manufacturing processes and were responsible for electrical reliability. If MSI managed to get rid of them without compromising stability, this is a significant technological breakthrough.

B850MPOWER, the First Motherboard with the New Design

The first motherboard to be created according to the new standard is the MSI B850MPOWER, an enthusiast model that supports AMD processors. It has only two RAM slots. The board also has a built-in EZ Dashboard — a set of power, reset, CMOS cleaning, and LED display buttons right on the board. This greatly facilitates system testing and configuration.

The B850MPOWER is designed as part of the Dragon Alliance program in collaboration with RAM manufacturers to ensure high compatibility and reliable performance even under heavy load.
