There are additionally tons of followers (+ pump), RGB, and exterior headers on the motherboard.

MSI MEG X670E ACE Motherboard – Fanatic-Tier Design With A Pinch of Gold!

The MSI MEG X670E ACE motherboard was one of many models that the ‘MSI Insider workforce showcased through the webcast. Earlier than speaking extra about it, let’s checklist down its major options:

• Stacked fin-array heatsink with heat-pipe
• 22+2 phases / 90A energy phases
• Lightning Gen5 slot & M.2 assist
• Screwless M.2 Protect Frozr
• M.2 Protect Frozr with magnetic design
• Onboard 10G LAN with WIFI 6E
• Entrance USB Kind-C helps PD 60W

The MSI MEG X670E ACE motherboard contains a very giant heatsink with a finned design & it additionally comes with a number of M.2 Protect Frozr heatsinks. Essentially the most fascinating is the one subsequent to the DDR5 DIMM slots which have a tool-less set up design and may simply be eliminated and latched in to position with a particular knob mechanism.
