I just finished a new AM5 build with this motherboard 2 weeks ago, had an overall OK experience but I think this is a great value for an X670E board.

I initially thought I got a bad board because I had issues with several M.2 slots not detecting a drive but this resolved with a BIOS update.

The Amazon reviews mention slow boot but in my experience, this is very typical for AM5. For context I have another PC with an ASUS X670E and it is slower than thr MSI.

It's not a bad deal for an X670 series board but the question is: with the Ryzen 7000 series what is the real benefit of going X670 instead of B650? There's not a great deal of headroom for overclocking the CPUs making the additional power phases mostly moot, and PCIe 5 for non-storage purposes is largely irrelevant. Jay of JayzTwoCents did a great job breaking those topics down [youtube.com] and more:

Over the weekend I picked up an ASRock B650E PG Riptide WiFi for $180 on Amazon that ticks all the same critical boxes and most of the niceties as well. Today that board is going for $190, $30 less than this one. Unless you're fiercely loyal to MSI or are starstruck with the aesthetics, I'm not seeing the reason to spend extra here when it could go toward other components where the difference will be much more significant.

Well.. for a while NVMEs were pretty cheap. I got one of those 4 slot M.2 PCIEx16 cards. Using that on the bifurcated slot usually means running the GPU at Gen 3. So I had some ragrets going B550. This gen with these NAND prices maybe you're right.

Mem OC support might be better on the higher end boards?

Seems like a good deal for what you get compared to other motherboards at this price point.

Was looking to doing a white build and although this mother board doesn't look as good as the GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE in aesthetics, it costs the same while the aorus has 1 less nvme slot and does not have pcie 4.0 x 4 (only pcie 3.0 x 1, and 1 less pcie slot).

I think this is a good price considering the new 9000 series cpu are expected to release sometime this year with supposedly new motherboards that will probably cost way more than what we can get at this price point for features, especially in some form of a white/silver motherboard.

This board is silver, however there isn't much silver to it. I rebuilt my son's PC with this board a few weeks ago. I'm an avid Asus buyer, but I decided to risk it on MSI. So far so good with one exception. Memory issues. One of the reasons why I went with MSI was all of the reviews of Asus boards complained about not being able to run at EXPO speeds. Well, we had the same problem with the MSI board. It's currently turned off. I'm guessing a bios update will address it. I don't think there is anything wrong with the board (or the memory).

One big plus for this board is the amount of USB ports on the back. His last Asus board (tuf x570 pro) didn't have enough and we had to buy a pci usb board to add 4 more.

Not that it matters right now, but not having any USB4 for such a high end board is a bummer. I typically like to build a new PC, and upgrade the CPU and GPU once before doing another build. Usually get about 6-7 years each time. USB4 would be nice to have further down the road once adoption is more widespread.

From what the rumors are going around the next gen x870e motherboards are supposed to get usb 4.

Basically a x670e motherboard + usb 4.

Don't know if people are willing to pay the cost though since x670e add on cards cost $100+ for usb4.

I bought one. Was going to go with one of the B650 boards, but this is not much more and has more features.

I bought this a few weeks ago at 350 for my new build while waiting on my gpu to ship. Amazon had me return it and repurchase to get the sale price. The lengths I go to save 30$ bc of this app lol

Do you try turning on memory context restore? My godlike sped up after I turned that on. I had to set my DDR5 speed manually though otherwise it would sometimes get stuck at the memory check. So where it says DRAM speed "Auto" set it to the actual clock speed of the ram, then turn context restore on and reboot and see if it makes a difference.
