great review! MSI have been reducing their high-end board range for some time: my absolute favorite was the UNIFY (have two!) but that seems to have ended in the Z690 era. Looks like CARBON is the new high-end MSI board (for those of us with more sense than money that are not seduced by the GODLIKE)

@@johnerikson2443 350 on Newegg 2 weeks ago. It dropped from 420 I think. I don’t think that is bad for a high end MB with two thunderbolt ports and 4 m.2 with pcie 5.0. The only feature it’s missing is 5gbe and WiFi 7. I don’t use WiFi and 2.5gbe is all I need considering my internet is maxed at 1gbe. I can always add a 10gbe network card or something later on if needed. So 150 cheaper than this board with all the important features for me is a steal in my eyes. My opinion might differ greatly than yours.

Why there are not gaming test with r7 7800x3d and x870e ? Is this due to some amd guidelines. I mean people who are buying these are probably more than interested to see the performance also with x3d processors (as gamers). This is due the prices of x670e motherboards haven't really dropped anywhere and if you example are going to buy the motherboard for gaming you probably have or want to have something with x3d processor in it.
