MSI MPG X870E Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard | Unboxing, Build Installation, and Review

[@nam666-n8k]

Great Review. This helped alot for me to get my head around the new Bios as it is a little different to the Asus Bios. Thanks

[@Silent157]

Thanks for checking it out and glad you found it helpful.

I just got mine last week and it looks really good, Waiting for 9800X3D as well. Gonna go with GSkill Neo 5 8000Mhz. MSI ROCKS! Thanks for the video...

[@jonathan350]

@NeoDon1 kind of stupid question, but which memory stick is this one? All the GSkill I find are 6000mhz, is the 8000mhz via oc?

[@Silent157]

These are G.Skill 6000 32GB (16x2) memory chips, but I am now currently using G.Skill 6400 64 (32x2) memory chips.

[@Silent157]

Sounds amazing. I do have a 9900x currently being used on this board, but hoping to have the 99003XD when released on this board.

[@SirChristoferus]

Judging from my previous experience with MSI, it looks like this board will pair quite nicely with a Ryzen 9950x and a Radeon 7900 XTX with the newer versions of the BIOS as of now.

[@Silent157]

It definitely will work on this board, and I personally have a 9900x3D in mind for this board when released.

[@DeAtHvAnGeL]

Greetings, is it necessary to use the PCIE_PWR1 port at the bottom? Trying to figure it out as I'm doing a build with the same motherboard. Thanks!

[@Silent157]

I believe this is more geared for the newer 4090 and above power hungry video cards. I'm currently using this motherboard with a 9900x and a 3070 TI and not using the connection. Working normally.

[@DeAtHvAnGeL]

@Silent157 I do have a 4090 but the problem is it already uses all my VGA ports in my PSU as it uses 4 so I wouldn't have any other way of plugging that one in

Good video

[@Silent157]

Thanks and great to hear!

[@DizConnected]

ALL MSI Godlike Motherboards come out at $1000 or more.

[@Silent157]

Yes, and previously I thought $700 was a lot for a motherboard. I may not be reviewing the Godlike Tier of motherboards lol

[@dwu9369]

How did you go bringing up at memory speed to 6400? PC stable?

[@Silent157]

The profile was engaged in the motherboard, though in this video the memory profile is 6000. The memory chips I have designated for this board are 6400 and so far and running stable.

[@erniemaleniza8112]

Does this msi board have a clock generator like the asus rog strix 870e-e so it only affects the cpu and not the pcie or memory.

[@Silent157]

I did see an option to change the clock speed, but unsure if it would affect other speeds.

[@iain8837]

Invisible hard drives?

[@Silent157]

No hard drives were plugged in during this video, as the BIOS showed also.
