MSI’s selection of X870E and X870 motherboards reflects MSI’s commitment to value and quality for PC builders. To match their power and capabilities, AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs should launch with new motherboards!

With good reason, the MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI has one of the most recognizable brands, staying loyal to its MSI Arsenal Gaming roots. It has consistently provided outstanding value, and the 800-series TOMAHAWK WIFI carries on this heritage by providing a combination of good value, dependable parts, and cutting-edge capabilities.

With more PCIe Gen 5.0 bandwidth and MSI-exclusive features, these motherboards make a great PC that’s easy to construct.

AMD will support the AM5 socket until 2027, so a motherboard you buy today can last awhile. If you buy a good AM5 motherboard now, you can easily switch to newer, more powerful Ryzen processors with a BIOS update.

How are these motherboards new?

Pick the Right X870E or X870 Chipset

AMD released X870E, X870, B850, and B840 800-series chipsets for AM5 in August 2024.

Similar to the 600-series, these 800-series motherboards support AMD’s Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 processors. Just one difference. A Ryzen 9000-compatible 800-series motherboard does not require a BIOS update, unlike a 600-series motherboard.

Best Ryzen 9000 CPU platform? Consider X870E motherboards. If you can live without some functionality and bandwidth, the X870 alternatives are great.
