AM5 Motherboard and Ryzen 9 9950X Combo

This bundle pairs an MSI MAG X870E GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor. The CPU delivers 16 cores and 32 processing threads for demanding workloads. The board uses the AMD X870E chipset and AM5 socket, supporting Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series CPUs. It targets enthusiasts building high-performance desktop systems.

DDR5 Memory Limits and PCIe 5.0 Storage

Four DDR5 UDIMM slots accept up to 256GB in dual-channel configuration. Ryzen 9000 series processors reach 8200+ MT/s with one single-rank DIMM, 6400+ MT/s with one dual-rank DIMM, and lower speeds with two DIMMs per channel. JEDEC standard operation runs at 5600-4800 MT/s. One M.2 slot connects via CPU PCIe 5.0 x4 for 2280/2260 drives, while two chipset-linked slots provide PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth.

Wi-Fi 7 Network and 5G LAN Connectivity

The motherboard includes Wi-Fi 7 with a 320MHz channel capable of 5.8Gbps maximum transmission speed, which is 2.4 times faster than Wi-Fi 6. A 5G LAN port provides wired connectivity beyond standard gigabit rates. Verify your router supports Wi-Fi 7 and your switch or cabling handles multi-gigabit Ethernet to use these speeds. The 64MB BIOS ROM aids future CPU compatibility.

Questions about this item

Will this combo support DDR5 memory running at 8200 MT/s out of the box?

The board lists DDR5 8200+ MT/s as an overclocked maximum with Ryzen 9000 series CPUs; JEDEC speeds are 5600–4800 MT/s, so 8200 MT/s requires manual tuning and a compatible 1DPC 1R kit.

How many M.2 drives can I install and which slot is PCIe 5.0?

Three M.2 slots are provided; M.2_1 runs PCIe 5.0 x4 from the CPU, while M.2_2 and M.2_3 run PCIe 4.0 x4 from the chipset, all supporting 2280 and 2260 lengths.

Does the included Ryzen 9 9950X come with a cooler?

The 16-core, 32-thread processor is sold as a tray/boxed CPU without a bundled cooler, so a separate AM5-compatible air or liquid cooler is required.
