We are back with another AMD X670E motherboard! Of course with AMD’s latest chipsets and processors you are going to get DDR5 support and PCI-Express 5.0 support not only your graphics card, but also for M.2 storage. We’ve been a fan of MSI’s “Carbon” series of motherboards for a while as they always look great and offer a great feature-set and some things you just don’t find on other motherboards. With this board you are going to get an 18+2+1 power phase design, four M.2 slots with screwless mounting, a rear USB 3.2 gen 2×2 port, WiFi 6E and much more! Is this the board you need for your Ryzen 7000 series build? Read on as we find out!
