In early July 2026 MSI unveiled a flagship PC ecosystem: the MEG MAESTRO 900R full‑tower chassis and the MEG CORELIQUID E15 360 all‑in‑one liquid cooler. The case features a centred architecture that places the motherboard, GPU and cooling at the core, triple‑sided tempered glass, a 75° aluminium frame and a detachable motherboard tray that can serve as a test bench. The cooler includes a 110° 2K AMOLED display with naked‑eye 3D, magnetic pogo‑pin connections and Laminar Focus fan technology that pairs a clockwise central fan with counter‑rotating outer fans for reduced turbulence and noise. Both products earned the 2026 Red Dot Design Award and were slated for release on 25 July 2026. A week later MSI introduced the high‑end Aegis ZS2 gaming desktop, powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, 32 GB DDR5, a 2 TB SSD and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, with liquid cooling and a tempered‑glass chassis, priced at $3,199.99. At the same time retailer Woot cut the price of the Codex R2 desktop by $900, bringing it to $1,400; the Codex R2 is equipped with an Intel Core i5‑14400F, RTX 5070 and 32 GB DDR5. In early August MSI added a new laptop to the lineup: the Crosshair A16 HX MLG Edition, a white “Stellar White” notebook featuring an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, 16‑inch QHD+ 240 Hz display and Cooler Boost cooling with two fans, five heat pipes and four exhaust vents. The edition ships with a gaming mouse, headset, mousepad and, in some markets, a collectible figurine.
