Review: MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WiFi

But since price of the B650 with the non E and the E tend to fade, the B650E get more interesting and still cover 90% of the needs for even less money...

Thanks for the review,In canada here I have had this MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk in my cart for a couple weeks,there are sales going on with the AMD products that are extremely hard to resist not buying.Just waiting for this Motherboard to drop a few more $$$ and then I will pull the trigger.

Isn't AIDA64 Memory bandwidth low for a ddr5 6000mhz, the read especially? Is EXPO enabled? My XMPII on a ddr5 6000 read is about 94k mb and write about 90k mb

reminder that amd chose to impair the performance of their memory writes with their memory controllers by limiting the write bits to half the read bits.

in practice, what applications will suffer (if any) ?

competitive with what ? z790 version is $80 less. You just lost a 1TB ssd or 16GB of memory.

Hmmm you must check SSD prices the sn570 2tb costs 80 euros here so it has to be same in USD or even cheaper there ! Ssd prices are on a freefall ! Hallelujah!

yup. already got one sn570 1tb. next one I'm buying is going to need to be faster. dram cache and pcie4 maybe. I just got a 3600 c16 32GB ram kit for 70 eur, it'd be a waste not to buy it. memory and storage are really cheap these days.

Honestly I do not need it but I might snatch a 2tb one to fill my 4x mb slot and move my 980 1tb to the 2x. Pci3 slot 😛 both will do fine for fast storage and dram does not seem to matter for game loading times ... writing speeds ... I do not really care !

I want a dedicated DirectStorage games pcie4 1TB, the rest will be normal 3.0 as outside of DS it will never matter what interface the drive is for game loading times, only the nand and controller.

With what cpu? Single ccd have lower reads. I have 64k with ddr5 6000.

Sharing my "adventure" with MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard. 1. bought the motherboard from the official MSI Poland store - I got a motherboard that was inoperative from the moment of purchase and behaving in an illogical way - it indicated a RAM error by which I incurred the additional cost of replacing the RAM, then service diagnosis. 2. after a complaint and sending to the service the entire original package with accessories, I was sent back the board without these accessories and in replacement packaging. 3. the board was also sent back to me further faulty. 4. finally decided to replace the board with a new one - decision on Wednesday 26.10., the board MSI claimed to have on hand. 5. scheduled delivery on Friday 03.11. - 9 days after the decision. I am more than a month without a computer due to MSI, but why hurry, the customer has already paid, it will wait.
