MSI’s MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard hits stores for $1,099

MSI first spoke about its new high-end AM5 board, the MEG X870E GODLIKE, back in August this year. Now, the product begins to arrive in stores, revealing its price: US$1,099. The value is equivalent to R$6,370 at the current price, placing this mobo among the most expensive X870 you can find.

Like every manufacturer, MSI works with its products in different lines of features and prices. Starting from the most affordable to the most premium, the names are PRO, MAG, MPG and MEG. In other words, GODLIKE is the flagship of its motherboards in a line that is already the most expensive. It is worth remembering the specifications of the MEG X870E GODLIKE:

• Support for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 (socket AM5)
• Wi-Fi 7
• 28-phase VRM design
• Dual 8-pin CPU connectors
• Four DDR5 DIMM slots (up to 256GB)
• EXPO profile support
• 8 portas USB-C (2x 40Gbps, 1x 20Gbps, 5x 10Gbps)
• 2 PCIe Gen 5 slots (x16/x8 electrical)
• 5 slots M.2 (2x Gen 5, 3x Gen 4)
• 4 SATA III ports
• Additional 8-pin connector for PCIe
• Steel-reinforced slots for memory and PCIe

MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE even has an LCD screen

In addition to the features listed above, MSI’s new high-end motherboard features a small 3.99” LCD screen. It works in a similar way to the displays that have become popular on AIO cooler blocks, being able to show system monitoring data or even an interface for a music player.

It is also worth mentioning that the MEG X870E GODLIKE has heatsinks for all of its M.2 slots, and even comes with a heat-pipe to help with cooling.

To put the price of MSI’s new AM5 card into perspective, the folks at VideoCardz did a comparison with other products on Newegg (image above). Interestingly, you can buy a whole combo of GPU and another X870E and still have money left over.
