MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI : not exactly an upgrade

[@NeoDon1]

I just built mine today because I got a new 9800X3D yesterday. It's paired with the Carbon X870e, RTX 4080 Super, KLEVV DDR5 8000 MTs, 1000 wat Seasonic and 4 TB SS 980 NVME and 1TB 970 for the C: Drive ---- Platinum LET ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

[@GlaDi02]

Oh boy, what a beast. Have a blast, man!

[@User-ys7cb]

There is no way DDR5-8000 runs stable on AMD.

[@gregorycharalambous8740]

Got the same thing do you notice when you tab out of games and go back in it’s a black screen for a couple of seconds also how many sticks of ram you have

[@cavitycreep]

Ohhh my, now i have a hard on

[@Leos-World]

I got the MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI and was lucky to get the new 9800X3D which will be my new main PC for years to come. The new setup will replace my ASUS ROG RAMPAGE V EXTREME and Intel Core i7 6850K CPU and my switch from Intel to AMD.

[@CrackaSlapYa]

boom! That's going to be an incredible upgrade.

[@AaronGrady-e1o]

Bought Asrock x870E Nova WiFi. Extremely happy with it!

[@BillOhio73]

I wanted this board but it would have been a 2 week wait on Amazon so I went with the X870e Aorus Master. The Carbon has a better I/O and the Aorus has shielded 8pin power connections. I was coming from a 10 year old 4770K and board and can see the Aorus board being used for 10+ years.

[@dogoku]

Another small difference between Carbon and Tomahawk, is that Tomahawk has RAID support only for the NVMe drives, but not the SATA drives. I have no idea why, but the Carbon has both...

[@espi8997]

Tomahawk gets the SATA ports from an ASMEDIA 1064 add-in chipset.

[@CrackaSlapYa]

@Laurent What ram kit was it specifically that you got 8400 on the Carbon?>

[@Aeonia92]

My MPG Carbon X670e stopped working out of nowhere after about 3 weeks & wouldn't post or refresh bios. I've officially written off MSI boards for now.

[@Gsoda35]

but does it allow faster unpacking and installation of software compared to the older motherboard? I guess not really.

[@darkman237]

Could you answer some memory questions? I'm planning a new build utilizing a Z890 MB and an Intel chip, but memory has changed. The board can take 9000MT DDR5, but I can't find any sticks for sale with that. I've found several 8000 and more 7200, but which is better? Does latency mean anything any more? These sticks seem to have high timing/latency values? Also the 8000s come in an unusual configuration 48GB in pairs rather than 16 or 32. Why is that? I hope you can answer my questions, so far I haven't received an answer from anyone else.

[@flow221]

Last year's model was under $400 around April of last year, which is when I hopped on. Definitely not worth an upgrade at current prices. We'll see how things go.

[@jvidia]

Carbon has more 2 pcb layers over the tomahawk? Did i heard it right? I thought the tomahawk had 8 pcb layers too 😮

[@Laurentschoice]

Yes.. my mistake ! Meant to remove that part :)

[@ChessJourneyman]

Cheers for helping me choose x870 tomahawk in your previous review!

[@fireblade274]

Subscribed, great reviews on these MB's dude, your format is great. Would love to see you cover the Taichi 870-E which PC Mag gave editors choice award, Asus 870E-E, and the Asus 870 A/F variants! im pretty much between all those and the MSI Carbon & Tomahawk ;)

[@sonofgodraj]

You make some of the best board reviews. I actually went with the x870e nova wifi but the carbon was one of the boards I was looking at as well.

[@jvidia]

I bought today one X870 tomahawk! Best X870 hands down.

[@JetSe77er]

I agree it's awesome, but I can't get over the yellow.

[@R6ex]

@@JetSe77er Green fits the upcoming RTX 5090 though. 😜

[@jvidia]

Its green not yellow. I don't care. I'm doing a greenish build and also my football club is green 😅 IMO the X870 Tomahawk is the best bang for the bug in the X870/X870e

[@greybeard2099]

Love your reviews. I’m not in the market to build a new pc anytime soon. Still I see you post and I click.

[@Laurentschoice]

Because ur a man of superior Intelect (I mean that) ... And most importantly... Of good taste !

[@ukaszganko6015]

Great review, thanks! A question - if there is a Graphics card which uses PCIe 5.0 16 lanes AND M2 which is PCIe5.0 will GPU slow down to using x8 lanes? Also what happens if we add another M2 to other PCIe5.0 socket? Will drives be x8 lanes but graphics x16? Or will GPU also be x8? Thanks again :)

[@Laurentschoice]

If u use the closest M2.SSD@pcie 5.0 it will not remove any lanes from the 16 lane GPU export . If you any other PCIe 5.0 enabled connectors or exports , the GPU export will go from 16 to 8 lanes @ PCIe 5.0 Hope this helps

[@moichamoy2274]

I'm once again asking can you review the ROG X870E-HERO. haven't found a solid review that goes in depth in NVME and PCIE lane sharing

[@Laurentschoice]

Hiii :) I'm on the Tuf right now. Will do the hero right after ;)

[@gregorycharalambous8740]

DO NOT RECOMMEND HAS ISSUES WHEN SAVING BIOS SETTING SCREEN GOES BLANK. Both the mobo I got cause I replaced a hero with another one. Both Ethernet ports were only downloading at 10 MBS even tho I can get 120MBS

[@xianlux4947]

@@Laurentschoice can you review the Godlike x870e?

[@r4plez]

17:06 you said x870 tomahawk is also 8layer PCB in your review...

[@ussonsoupape6500]

Magnifique intro! Even if these new boards are really good i'm so happy ta have follow your tuf x670e review. I think the right spot was here with good price/performance ratio (and futur proof for a simple user like me) i believed x870e would replace all x670e is it the case? if it's not it's 9 chipsets available on AMD website...as a motherboard addict you mus be in paradise! Merci pour ta présentation de la carte. Encore!

[@Squeek]

Thats a thick ass board! Insane innovation for the RGB on the m.2 slot 😂

[@JetSe77er]

I wonder why they partially cover the dragon logo with that plastic piece. I wonder if I can remove it....

[@siepi5728]

I love you, this is the best motherboard content.

[@Stoff-9001]

At 17:00 you say the carbon has 2 more PCB layers than the tomahawk, but don't they both have 8?

[@Laurentschoice]

Yes ..that's is my mistake :)) sorry about that . Tried to annote.

[@SoundSelector]

Through a promotion was able to get one for 275 €and I couldn't be happier

[@napoficial7123]

It's a pleasure to watch your reviews ❤

[@ecolebartholdiclassecm1-cm136]

I must say that I became big fan of your reviews. It's now close to an addiction and my wife is starting to wonder what the hell I am doing watching motherboards ... cher compatriote! Hope you'll show me the light so that I can replace my bold x58 asus supercomputer and it's xeon w3520. I must admit that I enjoy the jokes a lot.Keep up the good work. Finally some refreshing motherboards reviews. Merci à toi. Nicolas

too expensive at $1,400 CDN

[@husseinjuma5997]

Yes I am loving that Gigabyte and MSI decided to upgrade their BIOS menus completely, I am currently on an MSI X670e Tomahawk and really hate the BIOS. The menus seems replecated and buggy as hell, and every BIOS update fixes something and breaks another.

Sorry about the trolls . Removed them :)
