Overview

The MSI Aegis RS (AeRS12TG285-3920-264029) is a factory-built gaming desktop that pairs Intel's 12th Gen Core i7-12700KF processor with 64GB of DDR5 memory and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB graphics card. The i7-12700KF features 12 cores and 20 threads with boost clocks up to 5 GHz, making it well suited for both gaming workloads and productivity tasks like video editing or streaming. A 240mm AIO liquid cooler keeps thermals in check, and the system is housed in a black desktop chassis measuring 9 x 17 x 18 inches.

Storage is a standout feature of this configuration: two 8TB PCIe NVMe SSDs run in RAID 0, providing 16TB of usable space with the sequential speed benefits of striping. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E AX211, Bluetooth 5.2, and a wired Ethernet port, while the rear and front I/O offer four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.2 Type-C Gen2 ports, three DisplayPort outputs, one HDMI, and a combo audio jack. The system ships with Windows 11 Home, a black RGB backlit keyboard, and a Dockztorm USB hub, arriving ready to use out of the box.
