16-inch QHD+ 240Hz gaming laptop

Sustained load on 16-core CPU and RTX 5060

The 8940HX runs at a 2.40 GHz base with a 5.4 GHz turbo across 32 threads, while the RTX 5060 delivers graphics throughput via GDDR7. Under extended sessions the cooling system manages heat from both chips to maintain clocks without heavy throttling. Windows 11 Home and the included Office 2024 license are ready for work between gaming sessions.

The gray body measures 14.13 x 10.49 x 1.1 inches and weighs 5.51 pounds, fitting a backpack for daily transport. Ports include USB Type-C, USB Type-A, HDMI and a DC-in jack for power and external displays. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth handle wireless connectivity, while the RGB backlit keyboard aids low-light use.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the Crosshair A16 get when the Ryzen 9 8940HX runs at 5.4 GHz all day?

The 16-core Ryzen 9 8940HX can reach 5.4 GHz under load; MSI's cooling system is designed to manage that heat, though sustained maximum clocks will raise fan speed and surface temperature.

What external display cable do I need to use the HDMI port on this laptop?

The HDMI output supports external monitors directly; use a standard HDMI cable matched to your display's resolution and refresh rate.

Will my older USB Type-A mouse and keyboard work with the Crosshair A16?

Yes, the laptop includes USB Type-A ports so legacy peripherals connect without adapters.
