MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE

The MEG X670E GODLIKE is another flagship model that is sure to dazzle with its exceptionally long feature list and record-breaking performance, as GODLIKE has proven a popular choice for overclocking champions in the past. It features a massive amount of black metal heatsinks emblazoned with dark mirror surfaces and carved gold-trimmed illuminated sections that make it worthy of the gods in terms of aesthetics. It also features the Industry’s first M-Vision Dashboard.. just look at this thing below!

It’s a powerhouse of functionality that can be mounted externally. It allows you to take customisation and system management to the absolute next level. I suspect we’ll see more like this in the future, it’s just too damn cool.

There’s a 24+2+1 Phases configuration with DRPS, a Digital Power Design, and 105A Smart Power Stages on a 10-layer “server grade PCB” with 2oz of copper. Honestly, I think it’s the most advanced power setup we’ve seen on any X670E motherboard so far, but it’s also likely to be the most expensive board too, for so many obvious reasons.

There are 3 x PCI-E Gen 5.0 slots, 1 x x16, x8, and x4. Furthermore, there are 4 x M.2 slots, one is PCIe 5.0 and three 4.0 slots. However, there’s also an add-in PCIe card that adds two more PCIe 5.0 slots. There’s also a truly huge plethora of USB options here, including USB 4. There’s also Marvell® AQC113-B1-C 10Gbps LAN, 2.5Gbps Intel LAN, and the latest Gigabyte WiFi 6E.
