The MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE X motherboard showcases its impressive overclocking prowess with AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series CPUs, achieving remarkable memory speeds. Aimed at enthusiasts who demand top-tier performance, this motherboard is among the most premium options available, promising exceptional memory support.
Unleashing DDR5 Performance: MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE X Edition
The MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE X Edition is a high-end motherboard designed for the AMD AM5 socket, retailing at $1300 US with only 1000 units in circulation. Its standout feature is its ability to support DDR5 memory up to 9000+ MT/s (OC). Expert overclockers have confirmed that it lives up to its promise, particularly when paired with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
Bilibili user, 小汤圆Lumi, demonstrated the motherboard’s impressive memory overclocking capabilities. Initially, the motherboard was paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 32 GB of DDR5 memory, achieving DDR5-8900 speeds with CAS timings of 36-49-49-56 CR1 (1.56V).
Exceptional Stability and Future Enhancements
The motherboard’s stability was put to the test with the RunMemtestPro burn-in test, where it passed without errors, even at 6600 MT/s speeds with tighter timings. Remarkably, the board managed to hit DDR5-9100 MT/s speeds when tested with an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU, performing the burn-in memory test at DDR5-9000 speeds without issues.
Looking ahead, the AM5 platform is set to receive further enhancements to boost memory overclocking and stability in future AGESA updates. Additionally, AMD plans to collaborate with board manufacturers to support CUDIMM DDR5 memory modules, aligning with the upcoming Zen 6-based Ryzen CPUs expected later this year.
