Memories are reaching speeds that seemed unthinkable a few years ago, exceeding 10,000 MT/s. But these figures seem increasingly common, since they are even cited as compatible in motherboards latest from the main manufacturers. MSI has launched a new motherboard compatible with this figure, in addition to adding other features, it is the small board MSI MPG X870I EDGE TI EVO WIFI in a color edition white which many users like so much.

The MSI MPG X870I EDGE TI EVO WIFI board supports 10,000 MT/s memory

MSI has launched this small motherboard, aimed at playersand with X870 chipset for AMD with socket Current and future AM5. The notable thing about this Mini ITX size board is that it supports DDR5 memory with a speed of up to 10,000 MT/s when installed alongside compatible CPUs. For the rest, despite its small size, it comes with a 8+2+1 phase system to deliver sufficient and stable power, with 110A, built on a 12-layer server grade PCB.

As a high-end motherboard, it comes with support for PCIe 5.0 in the main graphics slot, as well as the M.2 SSD storage slot It is offered as a secondary board just above the PCIe 5.0 x16. A second small plate Along with the RAM memories, it also offers front USB-C connectivity with 27W of PD and 2 USB-A 5 Gbps, along with two additional SATA slots and a second connector for M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD drives. Also comes with a third slot for PCIe 4.0 SSD disks, which this time has been located on the back.
