MSI MPG X870E Edge TI WiFi Motherboard, ATX - Supports AMD Ryzen 9000/8000 / 7000 Processors, AM5-80A SPS VRM, DDR5 Memory Boost 8400+MT/s (OC), PCIe 5.0 x16, M.2 Gen5, Wi-Fi 7, 5G LAN

Decided to build my own PC this time around. Went from an all black build, to an all white build, however one thing remained consistent. MSI. As someone who has worked in IT for some time now, I’m glad to say I trust MSI motherboards and graphics cards. Haven’t failed me yet. This motherboard comes with the signature “dragon” RGB logo, amazing white and gray color scheme, as well as some solid black accents. The quality felt like a premium product, no cheap plastic feeling parts. The both the M.2 SSD slot and the heat sinks have an easy access function that makes changing or upgrading your SSD an easy. It also comes with a LED debug display that functions as a temperature monitor when in use. The BIOS menu is easy to get around and appealing to the eyes, allowing for controls such as over locking at the click of a button. The lock and release button for your graphics card is amazing which currently holds up my MSI Vanguard 5070TI. Even the unboxing was great as you’re quickly approached with the words “tech meets aesthetics” & it is true. This is a beautiful motherboard, so far very reliable and packed with tons of features. I still have a few more changes and upgrade + cable management to complete when it comes to my build, but I’m extremely satisfied as is. I was initially in a toss up between this and a competitor’s motherboard, but after owning this product…. I’m glad to say I would recommend it to others. Especially have to recent security incident said competitor’s motherboard’s have been having.

Got this in the mail a few days ago finally after extensive searching and review scouring/comparing. Ultimately decided on another MSI board for my newest PC build using a 5080 w/ a 9800x3d. Settled on the Edge TI because of its superior VRM and thermal design, the honestly impressive visual design of the board, the white is just too clean. Compared to the Tomahawk it was worth the price difference for me honestly, allows me to run fans quieter and overclock easier, and the additional USB ports were a big deal for me. Other major positives for a board in this price range are the Debug LED'ds that can really save your butt when troubleshooting. The board feels really sturdy, has Flash BIOS and Clear CMOS functionality, and the new easy install button and m.2 clips work like a charm. Overall really satisfied with this purchase and plan on continuing to buy MSI Boards in the future, they've been knocking it out of the park in value for the money.

Buena y estetica

Ich glaube es ist ein sehr gutes Mainboard, wirkt sehr Wertig und Stabil, meines war aber leider Defekt.

A placa é muito bonita e potente. Gostei muito do resultado no meu setup

EDIT: Updating my review based on the recent experience adding the second NVMe drive to the system. My main NVMe drive in slot M2_1 (Between GPU and CPU) is WD SN850X 2Tb. I had no issues with it. It's turning rather hot, but this drive is known to go up to 59C or more under continuous load. I decided to add a second drive for storage and decided to go with WD SN7100 2Tb. This is an excellent drive with fantastic reviews, which is supposed to run cooler on top of that. Upon installing it in the M2_4 slot (the one close to the bottom edge of the motherboard) and running CrystalDiskMark I realized that it only goes up to 6570Mb/s for read and 5290 Mb/s write, which is significantly lower than advertised speeds. I tried everything in BIOS, Windows settings, and even called SanDisk with zero success. Drive speed was never exceeding high 40's C so I didn't see drive temperatures as a potential issue. Then I came across several forum threads online about MSI ,X870E Carbon WiFi, with users discussing poor contact between NVMe heatsinks and NVMe drives while using OEM thermal pads supplied by MSI with the motherboard. When I took the heatsinks off, I also realized that the controller chips, which generate the most heat, are somewhat shorter than memory chips, and this doesn't allow the heatsink to make proper contact with them. I only saw imprints of the memory chips on thermal pads, but not controllers. For SN850X 2Tb there was some contact with the controller, but for SN7100 2Tb, there was none at all. On top of that, in SMART section of WD Dashboard there are two temperature sensors for the SN7100 drive: Sensor #1 is always hotter (It was showing almost 60C while idle), but it's Sensor #2 that is shown as drive temperature, which is always showing significantly lower readings. When I took the M2_4 heatsink off, I also realized that the pre-cut hole in the pre-applied thermal pad supplied with the motherboard was getting right in the middle of the memory chip for SN7100 2Tb! I also got a circle on the memory chip indicating the area of it, which was overheating. And also realized that four capacitors to the bottom of the controller chip (located in the top right corner close to NVMe interface) were completely preventing the thermal pad from making contact with it. I measured OEM MSI thermal pads with two different calipers and believe them to be 1.5 mm thick. I bought 4 Pack of Thermal Pads in different thicknesses (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mm with 13W/m/K) rating off Amazon for a very affordable price. I do not believe I can mention the brand name in my review since Amazon has recently gotten overly sensitive about this. But you will find them with ease yourself. :-) A lot of posts and Videos online are showing essentially the same - standard silicone thermal pads DO NOT work well for most NVMe drives properly due to the fact that memory chips are in the vast majority of cases protruding above controller chips and preventing thermal pads from making proper contact with them. For PCIE 5.0 NVMe's, this becomes a HUGE problem. I ended up applying two different thicknesses of thermal pad: 35 mm long 1.5mm thick thermal pads over memory chips, and 38 mm long 2.0 mm thick thermal pads over the controller for both NVMe 2_1 and 2_4. Just peeled the factory thermal pads off, wiped the heatsink with rubbing alcohol, and applied a new thermal pads cut slightly wider than the heatsink width. You can flip the heatsink over and cut the excess off clean and nicely. First, apply a 1.5 mm thermal pad, cut the excess off, and add a thicker 2 mm piece later. When I assembled everything together and checked for the nice controller chip and memory chip imprint on the thermal pads, I immediately got SN7100 2Tb running with the advertised speed and even slightly beating my SN850X 2Tb. OLD: Beautiful motherboard and awesome value for the price. I was always using ASUS in all my builds for a decade but since two years ago I do not see justification for paying ASUS premiums for their questionable value. MSI MPG series is a way to go for me. This is my second MSI MPG build and I already bought one more of this motherboard for one more build. I saw peole complaining about long boot times but I have zero issues with it. Installed 9700x cpu with G.SKILL Royal Neo 6000 CL28 ram and everything started and works perfectly so far. BIOS is very responsive and intuitive - everything is easy to find and manage. Motherboard temperature doesn't go above 38-40 C. I also do not understand complaints about WiFi drivers during Windows 11 install. I created Windows 11 installer on USB and simply installed WiFi driver from MSI USB which came with this motherboard during installation by pointing Network folder as a source when prompted. Quick, effortless and worry-free process. Needless to say that this motherboard looks absolutely awesome in white case with ARGB fans. EDIT: I like function with Post indicator showing CPU temperature in real time after boot. Used PBO succesfully as well but turned it off after testing. It does give some gain in productivity but at absolutely ridiculous price in power consumption and as result - loud fan noise. I am not sure why people are so exscited about 10% gain with more than double power consumption. I have absolutely zero issues with 9700x productivity in games at 65W TDP limit and PBO in Auto.

I chose this MSI board for its feature set, and I’m impressed. The first thing I noticed was the weight it’s significantly heavier than my old board due to the beefy metal heatsinks. The PCB feels very sturdy and the aesthetics are gorgeous. Installation was a breeze; the M.2 slots are easy to use, and the GPU quick-release is a game changer. The BIOS is great for everyone it has a simple "Easy Mode" for quick fixes, but plenty of depth in the advanced settings for experienced users. Highly recommended for your next Ryzen build! PS: For those looking at the photos: yes, I know an X870E paired with a 9800X3D and a GTX 1080 seems like a strange combo! I’m just waiting on my 5070 Ti to arrive at the time of writing this review.
