MSI X570 Motherboards Start Upward of 200€

Last week, we brought you an exclusive report of an ASUS AMD X570 motherboard price-list leak that foretells a $50-150 average price increase over launch-prices of motherboards based on the previous-generation AMD X470 chipset. European PC component price aggregator Geizhals has a partial list of X570 motherboards by another major manufacturer, MSI. It must be noted here, that while the ASUS price-list was for day-one retail prices, these prices of MSI boards are early listings, and could be marked-up by the retailer.

The cheapest model on the list is the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus, which succeeds the roughly-120€ X470 Gaming Plus at a whopping 201.30€. Interestingly, the MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi, which is supposed to be a slightly toned-down variant of the Gaming Pro Carbon, is priced only 18€ more, at 219.50€. The MEG X570 ACE, which will be a fast-moving high-end product, is priced at 414.60€, or roughly on par with HEDT motherboards based on the Intel X299 or even AMD X399 chipsets. For 100€ more, you get the better equipped MEG X570 Creation. Record-seeking enthusiasts will have their sights on the MEG X570 GODLIKE, though, which can be yours for 780.40€.

Why is anyone paying attention to early pricing based on 3 stores from Austria?

Because that's how the internet works. You don't even have to present factual information anymore. Make a stupid list of some unimportant benchmark with some CPUs that haven't even release yet, give no background to the information or its source, and just post it everywhere. This is how dumb the PC community online has become

Tsukiyomi91200 Euros... oof. good luck to budget builders who wants PCIe 4.0 when they have to spend a lot on motherboard alone. Guess that AMD is no longer the brand of value & Intel is starting to look like a more reasonable build to go.
80 eur premium over x470 plus,just wow.
for 200 eur you can have a x470 taichi or cheapest x570,I hope people who are jumping onto amd now are reasonable enough to know what they're really paying for.

Here is a video from Buildzoid regarding support of Ryzen 3000-series on older AM4 boards.
It gives some technical details about thing to consider for 12/16 core processors as well as memory speed support on previous generations.

My take from this is that not all x470 and x370 boards will work for 12/16 cores and there are concerns for supporting very fast memory speeds (memory overcloking) on x370 and cheaper x470 boards but Buildzoid mentioned that there are many x470 boards which will work fine.

I personally will stick with my ASUS CH7 but may go for 3700X or 3800X.

"Buildzoid will my X370/X470/B450/B350 mobo be good enough for Ryzen 3rd gen" / Maybe

MSI and ASUS are the same firms that were ready to back-stab AMD in the GPP program before everybody. How can AMD accept to be be driven by them?

According to gigabyte x590 doesn't exist, and it was more or less a later name change

Buildzoid caters to people who want big overclocks on their CPUs and memory (no surprises), I'd bet a cheeseburger that you could slap even a 16-core in a random B450 board and it would work just fine at stock with memory clocking at the 3rd-gen standard 3200.

There is always X599 for TR4 or you can get a Dual socket EPYC board.
When in doubt spend $1800 on the Asus Dominus for that 28-core Xeon.

€200 not that bad for a motherboard with expensive PCIe 4.0 tech like more pcb layers and PCIe 4.0 repeters.

Prices are alway RRP at release then when competiotion hits a couple of months later prices will drop and you will see the €200 drop to about €160 or even lower with promotions.

Stop whining like little b**ches and be happy that AMD is taking the home/gaming PC market to record performance levels at resonable prices.

No USB Type-C front panel header on 200$/€ board??? :mad: :shadedshu:
Some 160-180$/€ X470 board has it.

zo0lykasJust wait, and let's see..
Here I found few links and one of them.

www.google.com/amp/s/amp.hothardware.com/news/amd-x590-premium-ryzen-3000-zen-2-chipset-slot-above-x570
Urgh, there really, really, really won't be an X590 chipset, pinky swear.
It was a potential name and Gigabyte left it in their UEFI strings, but it was not used and will not be used.
Everyone is linking back something Computerbase dug up in a UEFI file. That's not proof of a new chipset.

RaresYeap, those prices are insane. I'm not planning to upgrade my Asus CH7 + Ryzen 2700x anytime soon. I'm happy with my rig...



Only in theory. Nobody tested Ryzen 12/16 core on those mobos.
As long as an X470 board has an 8 pin CPU connector it should be good to go. The extra 8 or 4 pin was thought to be overkill. The new CPUs also have the same TDP as previous gen.

Get a load of that Warranty 3yrs, Great stuff the not so great stuff from Date of Manufacture >> = WTF shouldn't a warranty start from Date of Purchase what happens if you don't buy a mobo for 2 years and the one you buy has been sitting round that long Oh guess you only get 1 year of warranty what a crock of shit

"ASRock Aqua is the board you are looking for" /Jedi wave

I'd actually spend 1000 on the Aqua over that kind of price for the Godlike (not that I will pay that for either in reality).,

If that Aqua is the suggested $/€ 1000 it's starting to look like a very good deal!

From what I'm hearing, MSI has dropped the MSRP for their boards and the God Like has an MSRP of US$699 now.
Make of that what you want.

The X570 mobos don't give a single advantage for average users. PCI-E 4.0 zero advantage for SSDs in everyday use (SATA and NvME SSD Win, app and game load times are identical), etc. Keep your earlier AM4 (except for A320), or buy a B450-X470.

You can change your CPU without changing your mobo.

IceShroomHail to the REAL God, not Godlike.
Appropriate because when your significant other finds out how much you spent you'll be meeting with God quickly.

Well a WIfi 10Gbit wireless card would be advantageous......if your ISP had that option on your router....hehe
