- PCIe 5.0 x16 for the latest generation of GPUs - M2 Heatsink "Frozr II" - Wifi 7


The MSI MPG X870E Carbon is a dream come true for any PC enthusiast. Right out of the box, I was impressed by its sleek design and robust build quality. The BIOS is intuitive and easy to navigate, even for those new to overclocking. Key Features That Shine: Future-Proof Power: The 18-phase Duet Rail Power System is a beast, ensuring rock-solid stability for even the most demanding CPUs and overclocking scenarios. Blazing-Fast Connectivity: The 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 7 provide lightning-fast network speeds, perfect for online gaming and content streaming. Ample Storage: The multiple M.2 slots, including Gen5 and Gen4, offer incredible flexibility for high-speed storage solutions. Efficient Cooling: The Frozr thermal design keeps everything running cool, even under heavy load. User-Friendly Design: The EZ Debug LED and easy-to-use BIOS make troubleshooting and customization a breeze. I've been incredibly pleased with the performance and reliability of this motherboard. It's a fantastic choice for anyone looking to build a high-performance PC that can handle anything you throw at it.

All aspects of overclocking and undervolting made easy. Rock solid. ASUS alwasy impresses with build quality. Looks great.

This is an amazing board. It solid and reliable and it has features galore. The first one is the generation 4 nmve M.2, because it is directly supported by the CPU, and with the right stick it can read over 5,000 MB per second. The second M.2 is generation 3 off the B550 chipset. It has 8 sata connections that are hot swapable. The second 4 may be run by an ASMedia chip, and the 1st 4 are run off the B550 chipset. Once Win10 is setup properly according to your specs, it will just work every day. It has most of the cooling features and copper and hi-end capacitors that Gigabyte usually brags about, but it is packaged in a versatile and powerful setup. It even has built in wifi 6 and dual antennas. This board is perfect for gamers [I'm guessing here, I've never played the games that are out there] office productivity and home office. It would also serve nicely as the foundation of audio-video station. The audio is 24bit HD realtek and it sounds great. It does not have 5.1 speaker outlets on the back panel, but really does anyone need that anymore? I has a NO CPU bios flash on the back panel in case you need an emergency update. Mine came with a newer bios than is posted on the MSI website. The price for all of this is great. I got this on sale at Newegg for $89. What a steal. I am very happy with the overall performance and stability so far. [about 2 weeks] Get one [or two of them] now.

- First thing I noticed, this thing is heavy. This is a good thing. They are not cutting costs or cutting corners in manufacturing this - I paired this with a Ryzen 5 3600. Board recognized it with no problems. - Other components I used are Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM and a Samsung NVME drive. Again, everything was recognized and compatible upon initial installation.

Nice ATX Board, it has pcie 4.0 and a lot of userul things

- 3x M.2 (separate one for Wi-Fi module) - No gap between top PCIe and M.2, so GPU fits into top slot of PC case - Expo (XMP) was enable and go for my G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MT/s CL30-40-40-96 1.40V Kit - Had no VRM coil whine, results may vary though reading through other reviews

-Functionality -Aesthetics -Price point

After installing drivers and upgrading windows 11 the system is so much faster and smoother than my 10th gen cpu z590 asus board that would turn on. The major pros is great price with cheapest 14th gen i5 cpu and runs all my old ram and has wifi for under $100.

Solidly built, rich for features, fits well in standard case (with all the wiring and liquid cooling bock). It was easy to set things up. CPU and RAM detected without issues. Passed stress test (no overclocking).

excellent budget option

GIGABYTE X870 is a update to my GA-AX370-Gaming 5 it's still working great. So far been great MOBO lots options for fans,drives,etc. It is a haevy board come peared to my old one. Easy in install M.2 druves. No little screws to mess with. BIOS got lots adjustment you can do. Update BIOS was a breeze to install.

M.2 slot lga 1700 everything is great even has a c port slot which is nice idk what I would use it for

Good build quality I've grown to expect after 30 years of buying Gigabyte boards Allows some tweaking of settings though not an OC board I like the NVMe mounting system Recognized my ram and applied the XMP setting without my having to do anything

- Holds parts in its slots

Sturdy build, ample connectivity.

Easy peasy setup, was surprised how great its is, shipped very quickly (in less than a week).

- Was easy to recover from a failed firmware upgrade due to bad RAM with BIOS flashback feature. - BIOS is easy to use and tune. - Can use EXPO settings for AMD DDR5 on Intel CPU's. - Runs cool. - Plenty of NVME and SATA ports. - Lots of fan headers and expansion options. - Looks good, not overly done with RGB, a little bit that glows from under the GPU is a nice touch.
