"The slightly more svelte chassis comes with slightly updated specs, including a second-generation Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series GPU, up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 16-inch (2560 x 1600) 240Hz OLED display. The revamped Crosshair also supports MSI OverBoost Ultra, allowing users to boost the GPU by up to 115W and the CPU by 85W (or 140W when focused exclusively on the CPU)."
"While the Crosshair 16 Max HX has some updates over the previous generation, it maintains the more inconspicuous chassis design. The 2026 Crosshair has a bit of RGB on the keyboard, but otherwise keeps the design fairly low-key, with an MSI logo and subtle mecha-style accents on the lid. The Crosshair 16 Max HX is expected to launch as early as April 2026 starting at $1,649."
The Crosshair 16 Max HX trims 14.3 percent from its predecessor’s thickness, reducing the chassis by 2mm. It pairs a second-generation Intel Core Ultra 9 processor with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series GPU. Configurations support up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM and a 16-inch 2560 x 1600 240Hz OLED display. MSI OverBoost Ultra permits GPU boosts up to 115W and CPU boosts of 85W, or 140W when the CPU is prioritized. The chassis remains understated with limited keyboard RGB, an MSI logo, and subtle mecha-style lid accents. Launch is expected in April 2026 starting at $1,649.
