  • This year CARBON shows a great worry on detail, manufacturing process, and well, lots and lots VRM power!
    The problem with the MPG X670E CARBON GAMING WIFI, is that, its pricing surpasses some competitor motherboards which might propose the same for a quiet a bit less.

    When it comes to the comparison you made regarding the X670E-E Gaming WiFi, while I would agree that most people aren't going to use dual GPU's, I disagree about that being the main point of consideration. See the problem with the Gaming WiFi is that yes, you get up to 3 Gen 5 NVME, what it is not advertised, not addressed by your review and only outlined in the manual, is that in order to use 3 Gen5 NVMEs, you have to sacrifice half of your bandwidth in the main x16 PCIE slot. And if you don't want to sacrifice that bandwidth to your graphics card (like lets say in the event Nvidia or AMD release a Gen5 GPU that actually uses that bandwidth), you wouldn't be able to do that on the Gaming Wifi without sacrificing the use of that entire M.2 slot. Limiting you to only being able to use 3 NVME drives instead of 4.
    Where as in my opinion, the Carbon makes the smarter move of running 2 NVME drives to CPU Gen 5, and 2 NVME drives to chipset Gen 4. This is the have your cake and eat it scenario where you can have 4 NVME drives and Gen 5 GPU all running without having to sacrifice anything major. IE, would I rather sacrifice a little bandwidth on one NVME, or would rather be forced to choose between losing an M.2 slot entirely or losing half my GPU bandwidth. I know if it were me, I'd much prefer to sacrifice half of one out of four NVME's bandwidth than have to sacrifice half of my only GPU's PCIE bandwidth.
    I know it's not a big issue today, but that doesn't mean it's not going to matter in the future. And since I build my computer to last me several years, I can't ignore future possibilities and try to build as smartly as possible to give me the most functionality today, without potentially and unnecessarily roadblocking myself in the future because I made a sacrifice today, that I really shouldn't have because I didn't properly consider future trends. Especially if that mistake runs the risk of losing my ability to use a device entirely and even more especially if I had grown to rely on that functionality.
    In my opinion, between the Carbon and the X670E-E Gaming Wifi, I think the Carbon has the much better PCIE configuration. In much more important ways than the highlighted dual GPU scenario. And I definitely think it makes it worth giving the Carbon a second consideration. Also, for reference, currently, as far as I'm aware, there is only one other motherboard that uses the same PCIE configuration as the Carbon, and that's the Crosshair Hero. Honestly, I think those two boards use their available PCIE lanes in a better, smarter way than even the higher end more expensive motherboards like the Ace, Crosshair Extreme, Taichi, and Godlike do.

      I'm having the EXACT same questions in my head right now, which board did you go for ?
      I'm planning for either the X670E Carbon or the X670E-E + one 2To Gen4 M2 + 2x32 Go DDR5 CL30.
      I want to buy the coming PCIe5 RTX5000 down the road + 2 Gen5 M2 once they get cheaper.
      I think that with the Carbon it would be the best configuration for this "best of all worlds" gaming setup.
      Thanks for the answers 🙏

      ​@@alexandremonfray568 It was a close race between the Cosshair Hero and the Carbon, but I ended up going with the MSI X670E Carbon WiFi. In the end, it was the better and more versatile all rounder. Plus I ended up finding out a couple more things about the Crosshair Hero that were serious enough to make me re-evaluate that board in a more critical light.
      While I did properly consider the X670E-E Gaming WiFi from a technical point of view (I always study the manuals of every motherboard I consider buying for a build) the X670E-E Gaming WiFi was never really in the running for purchase for me because I don't like it's PCIE configuration. I am using 4 NVME drives on the board (all of them Gen4 at moment, but I'll consider a Gen5 in the future when the prices and temps become more sane.), so I needed 4 usable NVME slots and I didn't want to sacrifice half my GPU lanes to get them.
      Especially since like you, I am also waiting for next gen before I look to upgrade my GPU (currently still running a 2080Ti) and I don't want to assume that Gen5 x16 won't be a thing. It's possible it still won't matter, but I simply don't want to assume that. But even if x16 Gen5 still doesn't matter, it doesn't change my conclusion that if I have to choose a sacrifice to make and the choices are between sacrificing half my GPU lanes, half the bandwidth on one out of 4 NVME drives or completely sacrifice an entire NVME drive, sacrificing half the bandwidth on one out 4 drives is by far the most inconsequential out of the 3.
      Getting only 8 out of 16 GPU lanes "will" impact your gaming performance. The degree by which it will affect performance is dependent on load, game and use case, but it will impact gaming performance. Losing the use of an entire m.2 drive for the sake of GPU bandwidth is noticeable. Whether now or in the future, it's a significant choice that "will" be felt. Having two Gen5 and 2 Gen4 drives instead of 3 Gen5 and 1 Gen4 , you won't even notice and you'd probably be hard pressed to spot it if you actually tried. And even then, you'd probably have to be doing heavy productivity workloads just to create a scenario where you could actually measure it. You probably won't notice it in gaming because even at Gen4 NVME we were already starting to get back to the point where the CPU is becoming the bottleneck for loading again, rather than the storage speed. With Gen5 storage, we're starting to hit the point of diminishing returns. Direct storage may change that in the future, but by how much is anyone's guess.
      So based on that, the X670E-E Gaming WiFi never made much sense to me as a real consideration. This was probably the most difficult time I've ever had picking a motherboard, but I really do think the MSI Carbon WiFi is the best all round choice out of all of the X670E motherboards currently on the market. In spec, configuration, versatility and bang for buck, it offers the most with the fewest sacrifices. Oh I still can't believe I'm actually using the term "bang for buck" to describe a board costs over 400 quid. Something just feels so wrong about that statement.

      With maybe the last 2 Gen 4 M2 slots sharing some bandwidth together and being a little bit slowed, BUT not being able to OC the CPU with a external clock generator (absent on the board) ?

      @@alexandremonfray568 Question 1: Yes, provided you do not install an M.2 drive in M.2_3 (bottom left interface) As soon as you install an M.2 in M.2_3, your top PCIE x16 slot drops to x8 mode.
      Question 2: Yes. And both Gen4 M.2s are going to the chipset. The X670E chipset uses 2 chips. So 1 Gen4 drive is connected to chipset A and the other to chipset B. They are not sharing bandwidth... Well, yeah in one way they are, where all the components connected to the chipsets are sharing the same Gen5 x4 link to the CPU. But remember x4 Gen5 lanes is equivalent bandwidth to x8 Gen4 lanes. So while yes they are technically sharing bandwidth, it's x4 Gen5 bandwidth they're sharing, giving them "effectively" close to if not the same bandwidth they would get if they had their own dedicated links to a Gen4 CPU. So they shouldn't be "slowed" as you put it. If there is a difference, that difference is likely so small, you'll probably never notice it. Before you could even see a performance hit, you would likely have to hit both drives hard at the same time before you could ever create a scenario where could possibly measure any "slow down". The Carbon manual has a block diagram at the very bottom that shows how the various components are linked.
      As far as the clock gen goes, I'm running a 7950X, so extreme overclocking is not something I considered of high importance when I chose this board. And to be honest, I'm not the best person to ask on that topic. I basically wanted a competent VRM that could easily handle any CPU I put in it and that was about as far as I went with it.
      I hope this helps.

      ​@@alexandremonfray568 I am not sure about the M.2_2 on the Asus. It's very far away from the CPU, so I think it runs on the PCH. Would mean, the PCH gets 8 lanes, not only 4. It's stated as sharing free, but because of the layout it could not be linked directly to the CPU.
      Why u would overclock an AMD AM5? It's not recommended and fast enough for everything out there.

    Thnk you for the video. I am trying to understand the lanes and sharing performance of the nvm 5.0 ssds.
    If i will take this board: wich is better:
    1 nvm 5.0 in the first slot ( ssd storage) and the second als in the 5.0
    Or should i stuck the second drive in the chipset slot. Becouse one will the primary ssd/ nvm and the second one will for storage: for games.
    I will put also a hdd but i want to know whats the best option of the nvm.
    And another question, can i use 4.0 ssd 990 pro inside the 5.0?
    Question 2:
    I will put 32gb 6000mhz ram: i read that is possible to overclock to much higher with amd boards: but there is a possibility that the system will not be stable. The best optiom is 6000 mhz?
    My last question:
    I will use it for programming, content but also gaming. Do you recommend another mobo instead of this one? Or is this a good one?
    Thnk you very much.

Would love for the mobo to have an intel ethernet port also, they just seem to be least problematic. Wifi capabilities not necessary.
    I was looking at the x670e-e gaming @ $469.99. I dont mind spending extra to not have to upgrade mobo's again in a few years, but I don't want to go overkill and pay for features I will never even use. any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Man, I wish you would stop singing the Strix E praises so much on these videos. I got the Strix partially based on your coverage, and found that the 3rd PCIe 5.0 M2 slot actually reduces the primary PCIe slot to 8x. If you don't have a capture card or use for the 2nd PCIe x16 slot, it's literally wasting 4 PCIe 5 lanes for no reason. Even if you put in a gen 4 or even gen 3 SSD in the slot, it will reduce the primary. When you are using a 4090 or 7900XTX, you must run it in PCIE 4.0x8 since these top of the line GPUs are not PCIe 5 yet. Truly disappointing.
    I have since returned the E, don't buy it if you want to use all or most of your M2 slots and want to run your GPU at x16. Both the Hero and the Carbon (which I got after I returned the disaster that's the E) does it better. The Hero legitimately costs too much, but the Carbon just does everything better. Does the Carbon have 5gbps LAN or thunderbolt? No, but neither does the E. Even the Hero doesn't have 5 or 10gbps LAN.
    The only real dealbreaker that you didn't even mention: no ECLK/Async. For some reason MSI didn't put it in a $500 motherboard. Other than that and the lack of a TB header that someone people might be interested in, this board beats out the ASUS.
    Respectfully, I disagree with your recommendations and conclusion.

      If ur going 4090 + several m.2 based storage..... ur in the Extreme category. I mean.. HERO minimum.
      The reason I would recommend the STRIX over the carbon was based on available feature and pricing. The STRIX brings more on the table for cheaper.
      BUT ... in ur case... I can see the dilemma... ur toying with the very limitations of current CPU based PCIe 5.0 lanes!

      @@Skewguard For a majority of people I think the Strix F or A is the best board if you want an ASUS X670 board. It doesn't have the bifurcation problem with the x16 slot because it doesn't try to stats pad with "MOAR M2 GEN5 SLOTS!!!" and costs less. Otherwise, the Tomahawk is comparable to the F/A, and of course I think the Carbon is better than the E if you ever want to use all the advertised M2 slots.

    Bonjour Laurent, j ai lu des commentaires comme celui qui se trouve ici disant que les derniers gpu comme la 7900 xtx reduit de moitié la bande passante si on ajoute un ssd gen 5.0. Est ce vrai ? Ou ai-je mal compris ? (Debutant) J ai une 7900 xtx , un 7800x3d ainsi qu un crucial T700 et un samsung 990 pro . **Avez-vous une carte mére à me conseiller dans ce cas**? J ai cru comprendre que vous aimiez la rog strix x670e e-gaming, j hesitais avec la carbon wifi et x670 aorus master

    I tried x670E Gigabyte Arous Master , Extreme , Asus Hero and Strix all of these board where nothing but pain randomly crashing , freezing and throwing all sort of codes so far Msi carbon has been stable and every efficient. I did had random reboot issues with this board initially after lot of digging i realized that the iGPU drivers were not latest and also the chipset for some reason installed by Msi Center is version 5.11 where as on AMD drivers support latest version is 5.08 so i uninstalled chipset drivers installed AMD recommended and updated the iGPU drivers since then it has been stable ... I am using 7950x3d

    Actually, Laurent, there IS a waterblock header that allows monitoring water temp and flow. It's JWB1, check the board again. What' I'm really pissed about is what they did with the CMOS battery. Troubleshooting in my 25 years experience, CMOS battery is something you eventually need check/reset. On this mobo you have to take the VRM heatsink off, remove a plug, cut the heatshrink on the CR2032, and god knows how the wires under the heatshrink are connected. What a fckup design. I reaaally wanted this mobo, but little by little I'm finding more problems than in Strix or Aorus Master.

    Hey everyone, still struggling to pick my future AM5 Mobo for my 7800x3D with the news on the PCIe5 GPUs coming (probably) next year.
    Just to be absolutely sure :
    If I go with the Asus X670E-E, I could potentially go with
    - 1 PCIe 5 x 16 GPU (RTX 5000?)
    - 2 Gen 5 x 4 M2 slots used
    - 1 Gen 4 x 4 Chipset M2 slot used
    - (not using the 3rd Gen 5 x 4 M2 slot to not halve the bandwidthes with the main PCIe 5 x 16 slot)
    > Without anything being halved in the bandwidth right (or just the last Gen 4 M2 being slightly slowed ?) + being able to OC the CPU with the external clock generator on the Mobo.
    Otherwise, if I go with the MSI X670e Carbon and go with :
    - 1 PCIe 5 x 16 GPU (RTX 5000 ?)
    - 2 Gen 5 x 4 M2 slots used
    - 1 Gen 4 x 4 M2 slot used
    - 1 Gen 4 x 4 Chipset M2 slot used
    > With maybe the last 2 Gen 4 M2 slots sharing some bandwidth together and being a little bit slowed, BUT not being able to OC the CPU with a external clock generator (absent on the board) ?
    Let me know if I recall correctly, it's a little bit hard for me to understand it all.

    When you think about it, the x670e Tomahawk at $299 vs. the Carbon at $480 is the carbon worth the extra cost for the gamer. Yes it is and No the cost is like most, way to high for what you get as most gamers don't need 2 extra sata ports. It is nice to see they are getting rid of 1 rgb 12v and giving 3 rgb5v instead and 2- 3.1 front panel connectors for those who have 2 sets of connectors.

    • @Laurentschoice
      @Laurentschoice  8 месяцев назад +2

      64 GBs each direction love 😘 . Total being 128 .
      It probably did not escape your razor sharp eye that the PCIe 5.0 lanes provides 4 GBs per lane..... In each direction :)
      16 lanes × 4 GBs = 64 GBs (each direction ).
      When referring to PCIe lanes allocation we assume that each allocated GBs is refered as "in both directions".
      I do hope this will help and always glad to clarify ;)
      Thanks for watching !!! :)
