MSI X370 XPower Gaming Titanium AM4 Motherboard Photo

MSI is going all out with AMD on RYZEN, they are going to be releasing an enthusiast class MSI X370 XPower Gaming Titanium AM4 Motherboard. A first photo is now available.

AMD is to release X370, B350 and A320 chipsets that are compatible with the upcoming RYZEN based processors (previously named ZEN). Socket AM4 evolves the PC infrastructure towards DDR4, NVMe M2 and USB 3.1 Gen 2 and sure, PCI Express 3.0 platform support. 

AMD X370 Chipset (High-End)

So the most high-end chipset will be the X370 with that X for Extreme. This chipset will support Multi-GPU rendering (Crossfire and SLI) with two full x16 PCI Express slots (Gen 3.0). The chipset will support overclocking. Basically this is the chipset series you and yours truly will be after once Zen releases and yes you can expect a dandy overclocking software suite.

AMD B350  Chipset (Mainstream)

If it has a B in the naming schema, you should think mainstream and that B for Business. A more generalized chipset that offers full performance, yet less tweaking options and often less PCI-Express lanes available, the mainstream series. For B350 some specs already have leaked, next tot the 8x Gen 3 PCI-Express lanes, it'll add/hook another 6 Gen 2 lanes  through the chipset and will offer a wide varyity of USB connectivity.  This motherboard series will offer 2 channel DDR4 memory we assume up-to 2400 MHz.

  

 

AMD A320 Chipset (SSF/Budget)

Then there is the A320 and A300 series. These are intended for value, budget and small form factor products. This chipset will offer 4 PCI-e Gen 2 lanes with 1+2+6 (USB 3.1 Gen2, USB 3.1 Gen1, USB 2.0) support. A300 should be the chipset for SSF computers (like tiny home theater builds etc). And with this round of chipsets AMD is to offer a complete range and line from top to bottom in the desktop PC segment, they are ready for ZEN alright.

MSI X370 XPower Gaming Titanium

And here is our queue for the enthusiast class MSI X370 XPower Gaming Titanium.  The board shows its standard 24-pin ATX and 4+8-pin EPS power connectors and being the more high-end solution, offers a 10 phase VRM. Next to the first PCIe slot there is another 4-pin power feed. You can see DDR4 DIMM slots and three PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots Gen 3.0, using two at the same time woudl likely run x8.The third slot would bog down to x4 over a chipset link.

Nice to see are the two 32 Gb/s M.2 slots and the six SATA 6 Gb/s ports. You can also spot a U2 connectors. Other then that you see the usual's in the form of 8-channel HD audio, gigabit Ethernet, and display outputs that include HDMI, DVI, and D-Sub. The display connectors will not be active fro the 8-core RYZEN parts btw.

Check out the thumbnails.

Extra PCIe power, so you don't fry the 24 pin.
