We review the MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk Wifi, an attractive option with a more competitive price point (around $339). The motherboard boasts an 8-layer PCB, two 8-pin power plugs, and a 14+2+1 power supply with 80A phases, ensuring sufficient power to run the CPU. The four DDR5 dimm slots can support up to 128 GB of memory and speeds of up to 6,600 MT/s.

Review: MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WiFi

But since price of the B650 with the non E and the E tend to fade, the B650E get more interesting and still cover 90% of the needs for even less money...

Thanks for the review,In canada here I have had this MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk in my cart for a couple weeks,there are sales going on with the AMD products that are extremely hard to resist not buying.Just waiting for this Motherboard to drop a few more $$$ and then I will pull the trigger.

Isn't AIDA64 Memory bandwidth low for a ddr5 6000mhz, the read especially?
Is EXPO enabled?

My XMPII on a ddr5 6000 read is about 94k mb and write about 90k mb

reminder that amd chose to impair the performance of their memory writes with their memory controllers by limiting the write bits to half the read bits.

in practice, what applications will suffer (if any) ?
