I'm looking at motherboards myself for a possible 9800X3D build in the coming months. I definitely want an X870E motherboard for the extra PCI-E lanes to accommodate at least two Gen5 SSDs on top of a GPU. I'm eyeing the MSI MPG X870E Carbon Wi-Fi. It's a bit more than I usually put into a motherboard but I feel like prices have gone up on premium boards so I gotta just roll with it. It's nice to see that most premium boards finally use 5Gb ethernet.
I like the Carbon Wi-Fi's clean look and specs, I also love that button next to the bottom right corner of the RAM slots that easily ejects the graphics card from that first PCI-E slot. The connections on the I/O panel are plentiful, with dual LAN which I love but is becoming increasingly rare these days, even on premium boards.
All the USB ports are at least 10Gb and there's even two 40Gb USB-C ports that can do DisplayPort.
Anybody here have this motherboard? Would love some feedback on it from somebody that has one.
