Premium Thermal Solution: Aluminum cover, heat-pipe, MOSFET thermal pads rated for 7W/mK, additional choke thermal pads and M.2 Shield Frozr are built for high performance system and non-stop gaming experience An expensive motherboard but worth it if you will use the extra features. By far the biggest draw for this board (as another reviewer pointed out) is that is does not take away from the GPU lanes if all NVME/Sata slots are populated. This is massive compared to most other AM5 boards if you hold a lot of data/media. I originally had a Strix motherboard but felt like I could never use the 4th slot, which kind of defeated the point of having it. Available only on processors featuring integrated graphics. Graphics specifications may vary depending on the CPU installed. AllEK-Quantum MSI MPG X670E CARBON EK X owners are entitled to the premium customer service that EK provides for all its customers worldwide. If you have any questions, problems, or just want to get in touch, reach out to us through our dedicated support channel. Even if you are just now getting into custom loop liquid cooling, our kind customer support will gladly help with your initial steps if there are any uncertainties.For the stress test, we're using Cinebench R23 looped for an hour, at which point we're reporting the maximum PCB temperature recorded using the k-type thermocouples.

Extreme Power Design: 24+2+1 phases power design with 105A Smart Power Stage and dual CPU power connectors are ready to unleash the maximum performance.Enhanced Power Design: 12+2 Duet Rail Power System, 8-pin plus 4-pin CPU power connectors, Core Boost, DDR4 Boost Asus is the only brand to offer a Mini-ITX X670E board, and they're also the only brand to also offer a MicroATX X670E board. So that means we have one Mini-ITX, one MicroATX and 20 ATX boards on hand.

As a gaming oriented motherboard, the heatsinks are sharp and angular, giving it a more aggressive look. For some reason Gigabyte spent their PCIe 5.0 budget on the M.2 drives, limiting the PCIe slot support to a single x16 slot. So while we guess four PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots is nice, we'd rather have the flexibility of having more PCIe slots. Essentially both boards have the same amount of PCIe bandwidth, the Carbon can just better spread that bandwidth across multiple slots while almost 90% of the PCIe bandwidth of the F Gaming is eaten up by the primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot.Unlike the MSI MEG X670E ACE, the feature set on the MPG X670E Carbon WiFi is more modest, which has: The motherboard comes equipped with three PCI-E x16 slots, of which two are PCIe 5.0, with the remainder being PCIe 4.0. The inclusion of MSI Steel Armor soldering helps with overall rigidity when mounting heavy triple fan graphics cards.

Aluminum Cover with Extended Heatsink: All-metal extended heatsink cover enlarge the surface of heat dissipation, ensures even high-end processors to run in full speed. Premium Thermal Solution: Aluminum cover, MOSFET thermal pads rated for 7W/mK, additional choke thermal pads and 3x M.2 Shield Frozr are built for high performance system and non-stop gaming experience M-Vision Dashboard: The Touchable 4.5-inch full-color IPS LCD not only indicates the status of your gaming rig which combines hardware monitor and debug function, but also allows system operation and customization with touch control. Lightning Fast Game experience: PCIe 5.0 slots, Lightning Gen 5 x4 M.2, Front USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20G with 60W USB Power Delivery. LAN with LAN Manager and Intel Wi-Fi 6E Solution: Upgraded network solution for professional and multimedia use. Delivers a secure, stable and fast network connection

Premium Thermal Module: Wavy fin design, Direct Touch Cross Heat-pipe, MOSFET Baseplate, 7W/mK thermal pads, Double-Sided M.2 Shield Frozr and Frozr AI software ensure the utmost performance with low temperature. Let's talk about test conditions first. For this testing we've built a dedicated system inside the Corsair iCUE 7000X case. Powering it we have the HX1000 power supply and for cooling the Corsair iCUE H170i Elite Capellix. Still, if you were to use PCIe 5.0 devices this configuration would make the most sense, as both delivers would receive x8 PCIe 5.0 bandwidth which is 32 GB/s. In comparison the Asus ROG Strix X670E-F Gaming connects its secondary PCIe x16 slot chipset, which is a lot cheaper to wire in, but does limit you to PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth (8 GB/s). Enhanced Power Design: 18+2+1 Duet Rail Power System, Dual 8-pin CPU power connectors, Core Boost, Memory Boost All the motherboards are fairly advanced, but the flagship MEG-series come with M.2 Xpander-Z Gen5 Dual SSD adapter cards that add two M.2-2280 slots for SSDs and therefore enable a rather formidable storage system. In addition, the MEG X670E Godlike comes with an M-Vision Dashboard LCD that displays the status of the rig and allows system tuning with touch control.
