MSI is marking its 40th anniversary with the DRACO EPIC EDITION, a limited-run hardware and peripheral collection unveiled at Computex 2026. Inspired by the Draco constellation and its mythological guardian, the lineup combines deep-blue and gold styling with enthusiast-class components, gaming accessories, and coordinated design details.
Key takeaways
- The collection includes a GeForce RTX 5080, X870E motherboard, liquid cooler, power supply, and PC case.
- MSI is also offering a matching keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, and wireless headset.
- Designs use celestial artwork, dragon motifs, brushed metal, and deep-blue finishes.
- Pricing, release timing, and regional availability remain undisclosed.
The DRACO EPIC EDITION is positioned as both a performance-focused product family and a commemorative collector’s range. MSI says all products will be sold in limited quantities, making the coordinated lineup particularly relevant to enthusiasts building themed systems.
Flagship graphics card leads the collection
The GeForce RTX 5080 16G SUPRIM DRACO EPIC EDITION is the centerpiece of the range. It retains MSI’s HYPER FROZR thermal design, including STORMFORCE fans, a vapor chamber, and Optimized Core Pipes. Its exterior receives a more dramatic makeover, with diamond-cut detailing, brushed textures, an aluminum-alloy frame, and an anodized metal backplate etched with dragon artwork.
MSI has not confirmed whether the card’s clock speeds, dimensions, power limits, or other specifications differ from the standard RTX 5080 SUPRIM. The available information suggests that the primary changes are visual and collectible in nature.
Components designed for a complete build
The MEG X870E ACE MAX DRACO EPIC EDITION motherboard adds themed plates and heatsinks to a platform equipped with PCIe 5.0, USB4, Wi-Fi 7, and separate 10GbE and 5GbE networking. MSI also highlights its enthusiast-oriented overclocking controls and EZ DIY features.
Other internal components include the MEG CORELIQUID E15 DRACO EPIC EDITION, a liquid cooler with a 360mm radiator, custom aluminum engraving, Draco animations, and Laminar Focus cooling technology. The MEG Ai1600T PCIE5 DRACO EPIC EDITION power supply adds dual native 12V-2×6 connectors, SiC MOSFET technology, an ARGB panel, and Cybenetics Lambda A++ certification.
The matching MEG MAESTRO 900R case completes the visual foundation. Its deep-blue aluminum panels feature constellation artwork, while a centered motherboard layout and four-way rotatable tray provide flexibility for display-oriented builds.
Matching gaming peripherals
MSI is extending the theme beyond the chassis with a Gaming Gear Bundle containing the STRIKE WIRELESS 8K HE keyboard, VERSA WIRELESS 8K mouse, and AGILITY mouse pad. The keyboard and mouse support 8,000 Hz polling for highly responsive input, while the set uses coordinated blue, gold, constellation, and dragon artwork.
The MAESTRO WIRELESS DRACO EPIC EDITION headset features 40mm drivers, active noise cancellation, beamforming and ENC-assisted voice pickup, and up to 90 hours of battery life. Its design mirrors the celestial styling used across the rest of the collection.
Availability remains limited
MSI has confirmed that the DRACO EPIC EDITION products will be available in limited quantities, but it has not announced pricing, specific launch dates, or regional availability. Those details will determine how accessible the anniversary hardware is—and how attractive it becomes to collectors seeking a fully matched MSI system.
