I thought the 2k were gen 1+, i know 3k are gen 2 but the manual is not exactly clear
y 2x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x16 slots (PCI_E1, PCI_E3) 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ support PCIe 4.0 x16/x0, x8/x8 modes 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ support PCIe 3.0 x16/x0, x8/x8 modes Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics support PCIe 3.0 x8 mode* y 1x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E5, supports x4 mode) y 2x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x1 slots**
Page 36 of the manual says m.2 slots 1 2 and 3 are pci-4x4 for gen3 and pci-3x4 for gen2.
Feels like theyve taken a b550 board manual and stuck a x570 badge on it
If you use a gen 4 capable CPU so Ryzen 3k on then they are Gen 4 any others they will be Gen 3, you can either force the gen in bios or leave it at auto

Only 4 Sata? I couldn't believe it when I read it. Someone at MSI made a huge mistake. In this price segment I expect to get 8 Sata, but at a minimum 6.
This definitely is a board to skip.

They traded 2 sata ports for a 4x m.2 slot.

For me it is the better option as i only use 2 ssd`s and plan on getting a 3rd nmve, tempted to raid 2x Corsair MP600 2tb on the x570 unify chipset or try and find a pci-e 4 4x 2nd gen drive at a good price and run on the cpu.
