MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Max Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Max WiFi is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset and designed for Socket AM4, supporting 2nd and 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors as well as Ryzen processors with Radeon Vega Graphics. It brings PCIe 4.0 support to both the primary graphics slot and the M.2 storage slots when paired with a 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processor, enabling the fastest available NVMe storage and graphics throughput on the AM4 platform. Memory flexibility is a strong suit: four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodate up to 128 GB in dual-channel configuration. JEDEC speeds up to DDR4-3200 are supported natively, while A-XMP overclocking profiles unlock speeds up to DDR4-4400 on 3rd Gen Ryzen platforms. MSI's A-XMP profiles are validated by their in-house OC Lab with automated power settings for straightforward memory tuning. For wired connectivity, an Intel I211AT Gigabit LAN controller handles reliable low-latency networking. Wireless users benefit from an Intel Wi-Fi 6 (AX200) module pre-installed in the dedicated Key-E slot, offering 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with 160 MHz channel support and MU-MIMO, reaching up to 2.4 Gbps theoretical throughput, alongside Bluetooth 5. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC1220 codec delivering 7.1-channel high-definition audio with optical S/PDIF output, enhanced by MSI's Audio Boost 4 implementation with Nahimic 3 software. Illumination is managed via Mystic Light, which supports 16.8 million colours and 29 effects across onboard RGB headers — including one 4-pin RGB connector, two 3-pin RAINBOW LED connectors, and one 3-pin Corsair connector — all controllable from MSI Dragon Center software. Storage options include six SATA 6 Gb/s ports and two M.2 Key-M slots with M.2 Shield Frozr thermal shielding. The board includes a Flash BIOS Button on the rear panel for easy firmware recovery. Four EZ Debug LEDs assist with rapid POST troubleshooting. A 3-year manufacturer warranty is included.
