- Does this board support Ryzen 9000 processors?
- Yes. The AM5 socket and X870E chipset support Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series CPUs, though older boards may need a BIOS update first.
- How many M.2 drives can I install?
- Four. At least one slot runs PCIe 5.0 for the fastest NVMe drives, and the rest handle PCIe 4.0 drives.
- Does it have Wi-Fi?
- No. This model relies on wired Ethernet, so you need a Wi-Fi card or USB adapter if you want wireless.
- What memory should I pair with it?
- DDR5 DIMMs. Official support tops out around 5600 MHz, so faster kits run at that speed or need manual tuning.
- Is it worth it over a cheaper B650 board?
- If you want PCIe 5.0 graphics and storage plus four M.2 slots, yes. A B650 board covers basic builds for less but with fewer lanes and slots.
- What form factor is it?
- Full ATX, so it needs an ATX or larger case and a standard ATX power supply.
- Where is the MSI MAG X870E Gaming Plus Motherboard cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $929.99, as of our latest check.
