20221216 145512 

In our review, we present you the MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI Motherboard, kindly provided to us by MSI.

APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS

This subsection of our review reveals the main aspects of the MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI, such as appearance and hardware configuration.

APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS

The motherboard comes in a rather beautiful and compact package, nothing superfluous in our opinion:

20221216 182136

The box inside has a fairly compact layout, everything is located very efficiently:

The motherboard kit is quite weighty: we have an external WiFi antenna with a magnetic sole, a 16 GB USB 3.0 flash drive and other SATA cables:

To ensure optimal thermal performance and maximum performance of Ryzen processors and system components, the MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI motherboard is equipped with massive heatsinks for VRM, chipset and M.2 modules. 

MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI includes 4 DIMM DDR5 modules with a maximum capacity of up to 64 GB and a frequency of up to 6400 MHz. For the file subsystem, the motherboard supports 4x M.2 PCIe 5.0/4.0 x4 slots and 6x SATA 6Gb/s ports.

We can put two video cards here, although this is not a plus, since SLI and CF are dead for a long time:

MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI has newfangled AMD Socket AM5 for AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors, now AMD sockets are as close as possible to those from Intel:

MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI is equipped with a highly reliable power supply system with 16 power modules designed to work with powerful multi-threaded AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors.

20221216 183057

MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI offers a large number of rear USB ports, including HDMI, Display Port and USB4 Type-C with 40Gbps bandwidth and support for 8K display output. Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5G Ethernet interfaces are responsible for the high data transfer rate in the network.

BIOS
 
UEFI motherboards are very recognizable and have a standard interface, initially we are greeted by EZ Mode - a simplified style:

MSI SnapShot

If desired, we freely switch to the Advanced mode, where we will carry out all the manipulations:

MSI SnapShot 00

The main thing for overclocking is to set the optimal frequencies of the RAM - by default we have a frequency of 4800 MHz:

MSI SnapShot 01

MSI SnapShot 02

Cooler speeds are configured individually for all fans:

MSI SnapShot 05

In total, we can connect up to 10 drives on MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI:

MSI SnapShot 06

We also have access to fine-tuning modes for all subsystems and components of the motherboard:

MSI SnapShot 07

ACCELERATION

As for overclocking the latest generations of processors, this is already a rather subtle science, because lately processors are already being sold with maximum overclocked frequencies. The AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors were also no exception, therefore, chasing an increase in the frequency of the processor, an ordinary layman can even do the opposite - do harm, significantly increasing its heating and thereby reducing performance.

The most reliable overclocking at this time is to buy good RAM for your system, increase its frequency and significantly reduce its timings. For tests, we took 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL36 Kingston FURY Renegade, lowered the timings to 30-35-35-30, increased the frequency to 6200 MHz. Now we will show you how the gaming performance changes at a frequency of 5600 CL 40, 6000 CL30 and 6200 CL30 and a 3100 bus using the AIDA64 cache and memory test as an example:

5600

6000

6200

Well, as we can see, although the overall performance increases when moving from 5600 to 6000, but with the 3100 bus, the delay still increases slightly...

MPG CORELIQUID K240

The MPG CoreLiquid K series redefines the traditional image of water cooling, taking it to a whole new level. The MPG CoreLiquid K Series water cooler has been designed and manufactured to provide a secure installation as well as compatibility with a very wide range of Intel and AMD motherboards:

20221216 182054

The MPG CoreLiquid 240 system looks quite stylish and rich.

Case MSI MPG QUIETUDE 100S
 
We also used the MSI MPG QUIETUDE 100S chassis for testing.

20221217 141637

MSI MPG Quietude 100S is positioned as a quiet system unit case and as a design solution at the same time. The MPG Quietude 100S case is designed for those who prefer a discreet but not boring design. Thanks to premium materials and sound-absorbing elements, it is perfect for building a quiet, even silent computer.

Outcome
 
As a result, we got such a stylish and respectable assembly:
 
20221217 183240
 
20221217 165205
 
The CPU temperature in Cinebench Release 23 as a result of passing the multi-core test of the processor was 96 degrees:

 We extended the testing with only one goal - to determine how the motherboard with 5600 memory / 2800 bus, 6000 memory / 3000 bus and overclocking with 6200 memory / 3100 bus behaves. You will see the testing of the Ryzen 7700X processor itself in the annual tests of 2022.
 
SYNTHETICS
 
Our synthetics are purely symbolic, warming the soul of any gamer:

In this benchmark, overclocking the processor, as well as switching from the 2800 to 3000 bus, does not really give significant performance....

GAMES
 
All games were taken at the discretion of the editors, from the position for which it would now be possible to buy this new product: 
 
Mount & Blade II Bannerlord

TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher 2022 10 31 00 49 18 165 TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher 2022 10 31 00 49 21 010

Testing took place at maximum quality settings with 1000 units

In Mount & Blade II Bannerlord, we see that with 3000 bus and 6000 memory, the motherboard has the best performance, even ahead of the bus overclock...l.

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered

Spider Man 2022 10 27 03 15 13 906 Spider Man 2022 10 27 03 15 17 896

Testing took place at maximum quality settings and with ray tracing.

Here we see the situation described above - 6000/3000 is more preferable.

Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 2022 10 27 03 09 44 771 Cyberpunk 2077 2022 10 27 03 09 47 915

Testing took place at maximum quality settings and with ray tracing.

And here, from overclocking, we have a profit in the range of 7% of the nominal value.

Gotham Knights

In Gotham Knights, we also have a profit from overclocking, but it is within the test error.

The Callisto Protocol

Testing took place at maximum quality settings and with ray tracing.

cp 

In The Callisto Protocol, there is no difference between the 3000 and 3100 bus, but there is a gap between their modes and the 2800 bus...

The Witcher 3

In The Witcher, the profit from overclocking to the 3100 bus is quite tangible with such an FPS indicator...

CONCLUSION

 Well, MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI left quite a pleasant impression. In fact, this is what you need for the AM5 platform and nothing more - excellent technical performance, sufficient overclocking potential in terms of memory and bus, and quite an adequate price for a top-end chipset. If you are looking to build on the AM5, then we advise you not to overlook this motherboard.

Advantages

- great performance

- good overclocking potential

Disadvantages

- high price tag, as it should be for a top platform on AM5
