AMD new processor AMD Ryzen 7000 series is officially launched, and its price is still very cost-effective, which is why it is loved by players as soon as it was launched. The new processor is on the market, and motherboards with various positioning are also on sale one after another. Today, the motherboard I share with you is MSI , which is the main product of its flagship MEG series - MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War motherboard. Those who are familiar with MSI know that this series is created for high-end players, and its price is more expensive than ordinary motherboards. So what exactly is this motherboard? You will know after reading my sharing.
[Precision and Details]
As a flagship motherboard, MEG has never been "short" in terms of packaging, and the same is true this time. MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War motherboard continues the packaging style of the God of War series, and the design of the handle continues. The main reason is that the motherboard has large and heavy and many accessories, it is really inconvenient to not design a handle for daily use. The full view of this motherboard can be seen on the front of the packaging box. The flagship motherboard gives people a different feeling, "dominate and leaking", haha! The back of the
packaging box is some of the main features of this motherboard, such as power supply, memory support, rich interfaces, newly designed cooling armor, 4 M.2 interfaces, and M.2 XPANDER-Z Gen5 Dual storage and adapter card , etc.
family photo of MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War motherboard: Good guy, there are really too many accessories, various expansion wires, screws, and important M.2 XPANDER-Z Gen5 Dual storage adapter card. When you see the fit of these accessories, you just feel that these more than 6,000 are not in vain, haha!
black and gold, this is the consistent design of MSI flagship motherboard. This time, the MSI MEG X670E ACE is no exception. The Jinlong and MEG logo on the heat dissipation module also show the positioning and identity of this motherboard.
Next comes the heat dissipation armor that covers almost the entire motherboard. The power supply part is a thickened fin-type extended heat sink, paired with MOSFET heat dissipation base (back heat dissipation), as well as direct-touch thermal heat pipe, efficient thermal gasket and metal armor on the back, forming the entire heat dissipation system. Of course, you cannot forget all the M.2 heat dissipation armor designs.
It is not an exaggeration to use such a motherboard to install a split water cooling system! The on-board interfaces of this motherboard are very rich. The water pump 4Pin interface, CPU fan Pin interface, fan 4Pin interface, 5V ARGB interface, Debug indicator light and code display are reserved in the upper right corner of the motherboard.
In fact, the biggest change in AMD this time is that the processor has changed from the PGA pin type of in the past to the LGA contact package. Now, there is no need to worry about the processor pins being bent anymore, haha! AMD yes. This time, the standard pin of the LGA1718 is divided into two halves, and the humanized design is still continuing. This time, you can directly use the AM4 standard radiator. Simply put, the old radiator can also be used.
MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War motherboard adopts a larger E-ATX board type, so you see the M.2 SSD installation bit designed next to the memory. It also adopts a real tool-free installation design, and its M.2 frost armor is also thickened.
You will find that under the 24Pin power supply socket of the motherboard, a 6Pin 12V power supply interface is designed, which is used to power the following two Type-C interfaces separately, which supports the PD 60W fast charging protocol. Of course, if you don’t consider this C port charging, you can ignore it directly. Whether it is connected to power does not affect data transmission.
This is the main PCIE 5.0 M.2 interface of the motherboard. The CPU is directly connected to support PCIE 5.0X4 channels. It theoretically provides 16GB/s bandwidth. The speed is really too fast. However, there is no such excellent civilian M.2 hard disk available yet. Let’s wait and see!
Zen4 motherboards only support DDR5, and there is no DDR4 standard.At the same time, it brings the latest AMD EXPO protocol, which supports one-click overclocking and is very convenient. 4 DDR5 memory slots, maximum 128G dual channels, supporting OC frequencies up to 6600+MHz.
M.2 is all covered with frost armor, and it is all double-sided "sandwich" design, so there is no need to worry about the heat dissipation effect. As a flagship motherboard, MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War all support 5.0 channels. After all, there is also an armor design. The first one is still directly connected to the CPU and supports PCIE 5.0X16 channels.
The other three M.2 card slots are all PCIE 4.0X4 channels, the same sandwich design. If the funds are sufficient, just fill it up, haha!
[Motherboard Power Supply]
As the flagship motherboard, this time, MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War uses a super power supply configuration of 22+2+1 phase 90A. For better heat dissipation, MSI uses a reinforced L-shaped heat dissipation fin . If you just need to observe, the power interface is usually designed to be placed on the right side, here is a good review. Of course, only such motherboards can receive such treatment. If it is a standard ATX, it is still designed on the left side.
Let’s introduce the I/O area of God of War. There are 3 physical buttons designed on the top, namely the Smart Mode button, the U-Free BIOS button and the BIOS clear button. In terms of interfaces, it can be said to be a complete dominant: 3 Type-C interfaces, the following two support USB3.2 Gen2 x2, and the top supports USB3.2 Gen2 and DP output. There are also 8 USB3.2 interfaces, one of which supports U-free BIOS. The 10 Gigabit wired network card and WIFI 6E wireless network card support 5.1 channel output. In general, the motherboard at this price can be equipped with almost all the products.
【M.2 Advance Card】
M.2 XPANDER-Z Gen5 Dual Storage Advance Card, supports PCIE 5.0 protocol. The adapter card has 2 installation positions, is powered by 6P alone, and an active cooling fan is designed.
Each interface supports PCIe5.0 x4 channel. It is also designed with fans and lighting switches, which are daily, but I feel that they can be designed as "sandwich", so that the active fan is no longer needed, and it can also save some of the costs, haha!
[Other hardware]
MSI MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 As MSI's flagship water cooling product, one of the major features of this water cooling is that it has a display screen. Through this screen, it can not only display CPU temperature and fan exclusively, but also display different animations, which is very fun.
MSI MPG A1000G uses a full-day 105℃ capacitor, and the maximum output power of +12V can reach 1000W. It has passed the 0Plus gold medal certification, and supports the circuit structure design of active PFC, half-bridge LLC resonant , and DC-DC. The overall parameters are good, and it also supports mainstream ten-year warranty after-sales service.
module output interface, among which there are five 8Pin output interfaces, which can easily meet the power supply needs of motherboard dual 8Pin and graphics card three 8Pin.
Zero Fan button, the power supply cooling fan can be stopped at low load, further reducing standby noise.
MSI MPG VELOX 100R case, it is very excellent in both workmanship and materials and detailed design. Especially the factory comes with 4 ARGB fans and RGB light strips on the body, which makes " light pollution " fully displayed. If you like playing with light, you might as well consider it!
[Lighting effect]
The state after lit up, without the driver's support, the display screen still cannot display the desired content and screen, but you can still see the effect of the chassis.

Kingston DDR5 memory test. In fact, if you want to improve performance, just turn on XMP. As for overclocking , the player has said that memory overclocking is far less direct than that of CPU overclocking. So I generally do not recommend memory overclocking. Of course, if you like to toss, you can still be super. memory and cache test, just take a look at the performance of reading, writing and copying for the time being. After all, the motherboard and CPU have just been launched, and the optimization is not very small. If it is fully optimized, I think the data will look better and the performance will be improved.
[DMARK test]
Where the Time Spy score is 17573, and the CPU score is 12995.
Time Spy Extreme scored 9034, including 6663 CPU score and 9640 graphics card.
CPU Profile test: single thread 1104, 16 thread 9251.

CINEBENCH R15, R20, and R23 running scores, you can click on the larger picture to view, and the performance is still very excellent.
[Copying Test]
Let's see how strong MSI MSI MEG CORELIQUID S360 water cooling is, AIDA64 single baking FPU project, Ryzen 5 7700X default PBO AUTO, can stabilize the full core for a long time 5.2GHz, the CPU Package power consumption is about 139W, the CPU package temperature is 97℃, the motherboard temperature is about 55℃, and the default voltage is 1.298V, which is still expected.
XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE uses TXBENCH to test the speed, with a continuous reading speed of 7405MB/s and a continuous writing speed of 5419MB/s. It can be said to be the current flagship-level performance.
[Familiar taste]
Home page We can see the motherboard model, CPU information, memory information, hard disk information, etc. You can quickly enter the interface you want in the lower right corner of the interface, which is indeed very user-friendly.
F7 enters the advanced mode-OC interface. Common CPU overclocking, memory overclocking and other functions are here. If you don’t know much, it is recommended to find a video to learn it first, otherwise it will be easy to set it and not turn on.
In terms of memory, the old standard A-XMP and the new standard EXPO coexist (1, 2), which should be considered that DDR5 memory overclocking has not been certified. If you pass EXPO certification, you can just turn 1 red point. There is actually nothing to adjust for , so it is recommended not to move around.
[Game Test]
"Tomb Raider: Shadow" 3A masterpiece, the screen options tested are all the highest preset, the resolution is 4k, the anti-aliasing is TAA, and the game comes with BENCHMARK for testing. The test results are pretty good, the game can run smoothly, with an average frame rate of being 112 frames.
"Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" brainlessly pulls the highest, and uses the included test scenario to test performance. The eagle looks down at the town below in the sky. There will be a lot of visible textures and the load on the graphics card will also increase. At 4K resolution, the average is 63 frames, and the older generation of graphics card killers is indeed well-deserved.
[Summary]
To be honest, this MEG X670E ACE God of War motherboard is worthy of your own in terms of appearance and configuration. Each brand has its own fan base. If you are a MSI player, when you see such a flagship motherboard, I believe you are already tempted. I won’t talk about the configuration here, it can be said that it has been fully loaded for you. Now Core 13th generation has also been released. Regardless of the price rising so much and the motherboard is not cheap at all, I would like to consider the AMD platform. After all, saving money is obvious, haha!
ok, that's all for this sharing, I hope you will like it!
