The Ultimate AMD AM5 Motherboard Guide

MSI MEG X670E ACE

This absolute beast of a motherboard dazzles with its black and gold design! But it’s not all just pretty aesthetics, as it’s packing a mighty 22+2+1 Duet Rail Power System with 90A power stages through an 8-layer PCB. Its flagship VRM design is built for some serious overclocking stability and for breaking performance world records. However, with Stacked Fin Array, Direct Touch VRM Heat-pipe, MOSFET Baseplate, 7W/mK thermal pads, double-sided M.2 Shield Frozr and Frozr AI software keeping all that hardware cool shouldn’t be an issue.

Of course, this motherboard also features PCIe Gen 5.0 support, with the advanced SMT (Surface Mount Technology) PCI-E slot and diminishing interference and electrical noise, and a reinforced heavy soldered design on all the x16 PCI slots and m.2 mounts. It features 1 x Gen 5 M.2, and 3 x Gen 4, as well as 6 SATA ports.

However, this PCI-Express card offers two extra M.2 slots with a smart fan cooling solution to increase your storage capacity at maximum speed and features an auto-detect function for the M.2 access and the M.2 temperature for easy checking.

I/O

The rear I/O looks decent enough, with a three-button system at the top, offering “smart button” Flash Bios, and Clear CMOS. There are three USB Type-C ports here too, along with a plethora of USB 2.3 Gen1 and Gen 2 ports, so you shouldn’t be short of connections if you have a lot of high-speed devices. Plus, with WiFi 6E and 10G LAN, networking is going to be lightning fast. Finally, there’s also Realtek® ALC4080 audio hardware with a 32-bit/384 kHz output to front and rear ports.
