MSI dropped its MEG X870E GODLIKE X Edition motherboard into stores for 1,300 dollars in America and roughly 1,200 euros across Europe with tax baked in, and the company basically threw every feature possible at AMD's top-tier chipset without caring about normal people's budgets. The board competes against other ridiculous options like the ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Extreme for enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on anything.
Connectivity gets pushed to the max with USB4 hitting 40 Gbps, dual Ethernet running 10 GbE and 5 GbE, plus Wi-Fi 7 and premium audio chips that eliminate external sound cards. Storage capacity goes wild through multiple M.2 slots and a dedicated riser card, while the power delivery system handles current Ryzen chips and future AM5 processors with headroom for overclocking when paired with serious cooling setups.
Weekend reviews confirmed the board delivers what MSI promised, but the price keeps it locked into niche territory for users chasing absolute peak performance on the AM5 platform, regardless of what their wallet thinks about it.
