Quote from sabin :
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.
I was just thinking the same thing - why are there sooooo many USB 3 ports. I mean sure some are high speed 10gbps - but USB 4/Thunderbolt 4 is the way to go - 40gbps - daisy chain capable - drive displays. It took a long time to get away from serial and parallel ports on the back of MBs. Even the old style of mouse/keyboard inputs hung around for a bit. I can see maybe 2 USB A ports for dongles - maybe 2 USB B 3.2 (high speed) and at least 4XUSB 4/Thunderbolt 4 ports. I'm glad we are seeing 2.5 gbe now - but I would like to see 10 gbe as well for inter-home data transfers. I also like 6E Wifi on board - but can't wait to see 7. I think we are 2-3 years away from a more modern Mobo.

It's disappointing to see that they couldn't find room in the budget for a $0.40 7 segment display on a mobo that retails for over $200.

This motherboard supports usb 4 already, you will need to buy the add-in card which does not seem to be available yet since I can't seem to find it available anywhere.

The add-in card may cost $100+ and you have to put it in the very bottom pcie 4.0 x 4 slot.

You can also swap out the Wi-Fi 6e if you ever want to since it's just connected to a m.2.

Google ms-4489 or msi usb4 pd100 expansion card.

When the x870e motherboards come out, the price would be in the $300+ range I'm guessing and we would most likely lose i/o because of it too.

I just bought this motherboard because I think it's too good of a deal for what you get in a current gen mobo for the price that has 4 m.2 slots and a lot of usb ports with no real compromises like other motherboards where if you populate certain m.2 or pcie slot, the other slots shut off or slow down at this price point.

Down the road years later if I want usb4 I can just buy the add-on card and upgrade to WiFi 7 or higher which is a nice upgrade path for a motherboard.

By the time x870e motherboards come out I'll be wanting USB4 v2/TB 5 :-)

USB 4 Version 2.0 Announced With 80 Gbps of Bandwidth | Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com)

Again USB 4/TB4 is the only way to go - it solves so many issues with old connecting methods.

Like I said, this motherboard has usb4, but it's not available right now since the expansion card is not available for sale yet.

The usb 4 expansion card will probably be released sometime this year if not at the end of the year for usb 4.

You are going to pay a premium price for early adopter tax on an x870e motherboard with usb4 (think of prices when am5 was first released).

An x870e from rumors will just be an x670e with built in usb4 at a higher price.

Finished my fifth build in November and literally have never seen one of these til I think Gamers Nexus video on it and thought WTF. Should be required.

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.
I did on my ASUS and it had issues, but I will try on the MSI. Thanks!

Because USB 4.0 isn't cheap to add and this bottom tier x670E. You want USB 4.0, go buy a $400 x670e or buy a pci-e usb4.0 card.

I just built my PC with this board. I boot to the windows login in 5s and into the desktop in less than 1 sec. The only issue I have is I am unable to install WiFi driver and I don't want to send in for RMA so I will probably have to buy WiFi pcie card or usb.

This is a 6 layer board. For 220 that is kind of sad
