The MSI MEG X570 Godlike and MSI MEG X570 ACE motherboards are on display, two motherboard monstrosities for the AMD Ryzen 3000.

Let's take a look at the first motherboards for the new AMD Ryzen 3000 Series processors . We'll start with what will be MSI's high-end range based on the X570 chipset. At Computex 2019, the company showcased the MSI MEG X570 Godlike and the MSI MEG X570 ACE. As expected, these motherboards support the new PCIe 4.0 interface. Additionally, these motherboards support WiFi 6, offering speeds of 2402Mb/s 2x2 on the 5GHz band and 574Mb/s on the 2.4GHz band. Thanks to the WiFi 6 card, Bluetooth 5.0 support is also included.

We start with the most beast model of the two top of the range that they have presented during this event. The motherboard features a large number of aluminum heatsinks to cool the entire motherboard. We see large heatsinks for VRMs connected by a heat pipe. The DDR4 DIMM sockets and the four PCIe 4.0 x16 sockets are hardened and shielded. We see three PCIe M.2 with passive SMI heatsinks. The chipset, as we already knew, has a fan that is hidden.

This motherboard has:

VRM Phases: 14 + 4 + 1 Flagship
RAM: 4 DIMM socket supporting 128GB @ 3800MHz (hardened)
2: 3 M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 socket with heatsink (two 22110 and one 2280)
PCIe: 4 PCIe 4.0 x16 socket (hardened)
Expansion card: two M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 and one 10 Gigabit LAN card
Network connectivity: Killer 2.5G + Intel Wireless-AX 200
Sound: ESS DAC with special amplifier
Connectivity: 3x USB 3.1 Gen2 + 1x Type-C / 2x USB 3.1 Gen1
Dedicated Hi-Fi Headphone Jack

Maybe this is a little simpler, but the design is more attractive than the Godlike. It has a little more reduced characteristics, but anyway it is a solution of high performance and quality.
