AMD announced the Ryzen 7000 AM5 platform at Computex 2022 today, and we've been seeing motherboard manufacturers such as Asus show off their latest X670E chipset-based offerings. MSI, too, had a few X670E boards on display. These include the MEG X670E Ace, the MPG X670E Carbon Wi-Fi, and the Pro X670-P Wi-Fi.

All X670E boards offer PCIe Gen 5 transfers from both the primary GPU slot and the primary M.2 slot and DisplayPort 2.0-out from rear USB Type-C. All MSI X670 boards also support ARGB Gen2 for connecting various RGB lighting peripherals.

The rear I/O panel now offers easy ways of directly entering safe boot, one-click toggle for all RGB lights, and directly activating Turbo mode. 

 The MEG series, including the MEG X670E Ace and the MEG X670E Godlike, is the flagship X670E E-ATX series from MSI. The MEG X670E Ace features a 24+2 phase 105A VRM design and support for front USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C with 60 W power delivery. There's also the M-Vision Dashboard that allows touch-based customization of motherboard status along with features such as screw-less M.2 Shield Frozr and/or an M.2 Shield Frozr with magnetic design that makes easy installation and upgrading of M.2 SSDs.

The MEG series offers a stacked fin array heatsink and a heatpipe along with a MOSFET baseplate for effective heat dissipation from the VRMs. Four onboard M.2 slots are available including one PCIe Gen 5 slot. MSI additionally offers an M.2 Xpander-Z add-on card in the box that provides for two additional PCIe Gen 5 x4 M.2 slots.

The MPG series is aimed at more mainstream gamers. The MPG X670E Carbon Wi-Fi offers 2x PCIe Gen 5 x16 slots and 4x M.2 slots. There's an 18+2 90A VRM power phase system, which is cooled by an extended heatsink. 

We then have the Pro X670-P Wi-Fi with 14+2 Duet Rail phases and dual 8-pin connectors. The Pro X670-P offers 1x M.2 PCIe Gen 5, 2.5G LAN, and Wi-Fi 6E.
