MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE Motherboard (AMD AM4, PCIe 4.0, DDR4, SATA 6Gb/s, Triple M.2, USB 3.2, AX Wi-Fi 6, 10G SUPER LAN, Extended-ATX)

Absolutely it is expensive. You do get what you paid for though. Worth every cent. An intelligent motherboard that is feature rich.If you are getting high end CPU and GPU, then don't cheapen your build with a lesser board.Although hard to obtain, very hard, nestled within this beast is an AMD Radeon 6900xt and an AMD Ryzen 9 5950x. Any other motherboard simply wouldn't do.Be certain to update the system bios (easy to do) with an older CPU, (9 3950x or earlier) prior to installing the new CPU. Errors will occur otherwise. Once the bios is updated it handles the new hardware beautifully.This comes bundled with the m.2 xpander zPlace it in PCIe slot 3 only (if you have more than 3 ssds) . Although it has been a struggle to get the card to work, it does.The heat management of the board is an extra feature that I feel is rightfully justified with this build. I would feel uncomfortable running it with a lesser motherboard without all of the heat management. Of course, liquid cool the system as well.Only thing I would change is to knock off about $150 from the price. Worth it, but pricey.Any questions, feel free to ask.

Purchased this for my new game rig. x570 Godlike in case they mix and match with other mobos.Solid quality board, everything worked, which is what you want.Goods:- Lots of cables and supporting stuff- Comes with a nice glossy "here is your mobo" image with all the ports identified, this was fantastic, kept from having to flip back and forth looking for which port is where on a tiny image in most manuals and the detailed section hoping for a bigger picture. Definitely a valuable asset to the build- Clearly labeled boardNot so goods:- Typical crappy manual, as is true with all mobos. But has a nice glossy "here is your mobo" with all the ports identified, see above- This board is tall due to the heat risers, as such, it made the fit in a case precariously tight. see image, the heat sink is touching or almost touching the radiator fan in a typical mid-sized ATX board.- This is an e-atx board in an atx case that says it supports E-ATX boards, showing how it fits to see what you can expect for most e-boards in a non-e case. This case is the Fractal design 6 (nice case, have a 4* review there too)- There is an interesting video that plays on the "dynamic dashboard", I had no idea when I purchased the board. there are some numbers next to it that change, I thought they were temperatures, but today I noticed them zeroed out. So I really dont know what the number is. The manual has some samples, but none match what mine show.- not sure if it is the case or the Mobo, but the memory placement sucked for my radiator, I had to remove the middle fan because the memory was in the way. If they moved the memory down .5 inches or a hair more it would have fit. Have a new 1/2 fan coming for the radiator, but it was a bummer .Happy with it, loaded 3 gen 4 m2 SSDs, it screams.

[EDITED]In this review, I originally stated the M.2 Standoff screws where missing and could not finish my install because this was going to be a 100% M.2 SSD build. I even googled this issue and found many forum posts (possibly including reddit, but can't remember now) about this issue.I even took out all the included contents of the motherboard box and spread them out over my workbench that had a white sheet on it just to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I thought, and that was my mistake, I didn't look hard enough.I contacted MSI tech support and they informed me the screws was in a very little clear cellophane like package (about the size of those little moisture packets) and not pre-installed onto the motherboard. I double checked and sure and even after laying all the contents out individually previously, I found that little bag of screws statically stuck to one of the cable packages. That is on me. My fault, but dang that was a small package.Turns out what I thought were M.2 screws were actually the stand-offs. The actual screws were in the little bag. The stand-offs looked like no stand-off I've seen before and the internal tapped/threaded hole was so small it was hidden well inside the phillips head.I do think MSI could do a better job in their instructions of stating the M.2 stand-offs were pre-installed but the screws were not, and I'd knock a star off of this review for it if the board did not work flawlessly after I did put it together. It's running like a champ, so I'll take the hit and say my fault and give it the 5 stars because of performance.

Dare lo que es mi reseña preliminar sobre este gran producto, ya que no tiene mucho tiempo de funcionamiento.Mis primeras impresiones son de un producto de muy alta calidad. incluye todo lo que requieres para armar un HEPCEste producto no es para novatos. o al menos debes tener un poco de conocimiento de lo que estas por realizar. ya que incluye conceptos algo complejos y debes ser conciente de ellos para no comerte un lindo error de inicio.Sin mas les comparto que hasta el momento no tengo problemas y es excelente para overclock.
