MSI has taken the wraps off its latest generation of motherboards, the X870E and X870 series, and they are set to stun both builders and enthusiasts alike. At the forefront of this new lineup is the MEG X870E GODLIKE, a motherboard boasting extraordinary IO capabilities and a host of features designed to deliver a high-performance user experience.
MSI’s X870E and X870 motherboards come in four distinct options. As part of their ongoing commitment to quality and value, MSI’s new offerings are tailored to complement the power and sophistication of AMD Ryzen 9000 processors. These motherboards not only support PCIe Gen 5.0 bandwidth, but they also include several MSI-exclusive features aimed at making PC building easier and more efficient.
With AMD intending to support the AM5 socket through at least 2027, investing in an excellent AM5 motherboard now promises longevity and easy upgrades. This means when the time comes to upgrade to newer Ryzen processors, a simple BIOS update will suffice.
### X870E vs. X870 Chipsets: The Choice is Yours
Come August 2024, AMD’s 800-series chipsets for its AM5 platform will include the X870E, X870, B850, and B840. While the X870 chipset offers a premium experience, the X870E variants go a notch higher, providing additional bandwidth to support more devices and peripherals.
These 800-series motherboards are backward compatible with AMD’s Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 Series processors, eliminating the need for BIOS updates as required by their 600-series counterparts for Ryzen 9000 processors.

Cable management is taken to the next level with the EZ Link design that simplifies the connection of front panel headers, fan headers, and RGB headers into the EZ Bridge and EZ Control Hub, ensuring a cleaner, more streamlined build.
In addition to its built-in 5 M.2 slots, the MEG X870E GODLIKE incorporates the M.2 XPANDER-Z SLIDER GEN5 card, providing 2 extra M.2 PCIe Gen 5 slots. The convenience of swapping or installing M.2 SSDs without opening your case is a standout feature.
