MSI Shows Off the MEG X670E Godlike at AMD Event
Earlier this week, some details, including the PCB layout of the MSI MEG X670E Godlike leaked, but now MSI has shared some additional details, including a picture of the board. In fact, MSI shared most of thespecs of the Godlike board during Computex, but the company didn't release a picture back then. However, now we know the power design, which consists of 24+2 phases and a 105 A power stage. MSI has also created its own screwless M.2 slots, as well as heatsinks, which simply clip in place after the SSD has been installed, although it doesn't appear the Godlike board has screwless heatsinks for more than one of M.2 drives.
Other features include 10 and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, as well as AMD's RZ616 WiFi 6E module. MSI hasn't gone for USB4 from what we know and nothing was mentioned with regards to USB4 during the MSI presentation. MSI also seems to have skipped video outputs on this board, but it's possible that one of the USB-C ports will support display output, even though that wasn't the case back at Computex. As with many other X670E boards, the Godlike supports 60 W USB PD charging via the front USB-C port.

Do you miss serial and parallel ports?
Not such a great idea, as you couldn't install Windows 98/ME/2000 on those boards, as the USB driver wasn't on the disc...
Nice gains, bro.
And such as myself? I wasn't the one celebrating the loss of PS/2, I simply suggested a reason for its removal.
Also, please never call me bro...
now judging by the io shown on the latest event, it seems msi eventually decided to remove tb4 and usb4 at all and rerouted two sets of 5.0x4 lanes to the bottom pcie slot for the gen5 m.2 pcie add in card which has 25110 m.2 slots on pcb.
the leak specs of godlike although states x4 only for the bottom pcie slot. strange.
God almighty, how we've devolved into retard products by now.
M Vision dashboard? wut
M-2 XPANDERZ .... much wow, very l33tZ0r
While the PS/2 ports might be less common nowadays the motherboards still contain an ISA-derived (as in the original IBM PC ISA bus) LPC bus to connect slower peripherals like ECs, Super I/O and dedicated TPMs.
I am also using an Apple Magic wired keyboard alongside it which I have recently gotten. To be frank, I should've gotten a Logitech MX Keys instead, but they are very similar anyways.
