Combo motherboard and Ryzen 9 9900X processor

This package pairs the MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE MAX board with an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X CPU for the AM5 platform. The processor delivers 12 cores and 24 threads based on Zen 5 architecture with a 5.6 GHz maximum boost frequency. It targets enthusiasts building a high-end system who want the motherboard and CPU matched in a single SKU.

DDR5 memory up to 9200 MT/s

Four 288-pin slots support dual-channel DDR5 up to 9200 MT/s when overclocked. The board provides two M.2 Gen5 x4 slots at 128 Gbps directly on the PCB, plus two more Gen5 x4 slots and two Gen4 x4 slots via an included expansion card, plus one Gen4 x2 slot. PCIe 5.0 graphics bandwidth is split between one x16 slot and one x8 slot, so a second high-end add-in card shares throughput with the primary GPU.

EZ Link hub simplifies front-panel wiring

The EZ Link design consolidates most front-panel, fan and RGB headers into an external bridge and control hub, reducing cable clutter inside the chassis. A 3.99-inch full-colour LCD shows real-time hardware data, BIOS update progress and custom graphics. Buyers who prefer a traditional header layout or who need a cooler in the box should note that the CPU ships without a thermal solution and the hub adds an extra mounting step.

Questions about this item

Will this combo fit in a standard ATX case and work with my existing DDR5 memory kit?

The motherboard uses the AM5 socket and four 288-pin DDR5 slots running dual-channel, so any standard ATX chassis and DDR5 kit up to 9200 MT/s (OC) will be compatible.

Does the Ryzen 9 9900X come with a cooler or do I need to buy one separately?

The CPU is sold without a cooler, so you will need to provide your own AM5-compatible air or liquid cooler.

How many high-speed M.2 drives can I install at Gen5 speeds?

The board provides four Gen5 x4 M.2 slots — two on the motherboard and two via the included M.2 XPANDER-Z SLIDER GEN5 card — each delivering 128 Gbps bandwidth.
