AM5 socket Ryzen 9000/8000/7000 board
The MSI X870E GAMING PLUS WIFI is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD X870E chipset and AM5 socket. It supports Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series desktop processors with a 14 Duet Rail power system rated at 60A per stage. The board provides four DDR5 slots for up to 256GB of memory and includes Wi-Fi 7, 5G LAN and a USB 40G port.
Compatibility checklist before ordering
Verify that your CPU is a Ryzen 9000, 8000 or 7000 series processor for the AM5 socket. Confirm your memory kit is DDR5 non-ECC unbuffered UDIMM; supported JEDEC speeds are 5600 to 4800 MT/s with overclocked profiles up to 8200 MT/s depending on DIMM population. Ensure your case accepts ATX form factor and that the power supply provides dual 8-pin CPU connectors for the 14-phase design.
Build integration and expansion
The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and the top M.2_1 slot (2280/2260) connect directly to the CPU for maximum GPU and NVMe bandwidth. Two additional chipset-linked M.2 slots (2280/2260) and four SATA 6Gb/s ports handle extra storage, with RAID 0, 1, 10 for SATA and RAID 0, 1, 5 for M.2 on Ryzen 9000. Secondary PCIe 4.0 x16, PCIe 3.0 x16 and PCIe x1 slots provide add-in card flexibility. The USB 40G port frees up high-speed peripheral connectivity.

Questions about this item
What is included in the box and what must I buy separately?
The motherboard is supplied with I/O shield, SATA cables, M.2 screws and documentation. You must purchase an AMD Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 series CPU, DDR5 memory modules, storage drives and a graphics card separately.
Which M.2 slot should I use for the fastest NVMe drive?
Use the M.2_1 slot connected to the CPU for PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds up to 128 GB/s; M.2_2 and M.2_3 run at PCIe 4.0 x4 from the chipset.
What does the 8200 MT/s DDR5 figure mean once the board is built?
With a Ryzen 9000 processor and a single-rank DIMM in one slot per channel the board can reach 8200 MT/s overclocked; two ranks per channel drops the ceiling to 6400 MT/s, while JEDEC default is 5600 MT/s.
