AMD's new Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series CPUs are now out in the wild, but new high-end X870E motherboards aren't quite yet... but they will be soon: on September 30.

The news of a September 30 release for the high-end X870E and X870 motherboards is coming from Kenny on the Bilibili forums, who received the new ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI motherboard, where he said that he can share his experience on September 30.

Kenny explained: "The newly launched X870 series motherboards for AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors are finally available. According to the official time specified by AMD, the motherboard can only be unboxed and basic specifications introduced without lighting on August 20, 2024. The official user experience sharing will be released on September 30, 2024".

MSI will feed your next-gen GeForce RTX 50 series GPU with its high-end X870E motherboards featuring dedicated 8-pin PCIe power connectors to pump more power into the motherboard, and then into the graphics card.

The company showed off its new MPG X870E Carbon Wi-Fi motherboard with a ton of features and upgrades, with one of the most interesting parts of MSI's new high-end X870E motherboard is its dedicated 8-pin power connector that supplements the power needs of the Gen5 lanes on the motherboard.

Wccftech scored some more details on this new feature, and the reason why MSI is packing on an 8-pin power connector on its high-end X870E motherboards is for NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards coming out later this year, and into 2025.

MSI has just showed off its new MPG X870E Carbon Wi-Fi motherboard at Gamescom 2024, ready for AMD's new Zen 5 processors, packs dual USB4 ports, and more. Check it out:

The new MSI MPG X870E Carbon Wi-Fi motherboard has been designed as a high-end board ready for overclocking, with the usual beautifully-designed aesthetics that MSI is known for. We have RGB lighting on the MPG logo covering the PCH, and the MSI Dragon logo on the I/O plate.

Inside, MSI's new MPG X870E Carbon Wi-Fi motherboard has a 20-phase VRM solution, coming in an 18+2+1 phase design with 110A power stages. MSI includes support for up to 192GB of DDR5-8000+ memory, with dual 8-pin EPS power connectors feeding the motherboard and CPU.

GIGABYTE has just teased its new X870E AORUS MASTER motherboard, ready for AMD's new Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series CPUs.

Inside, the new X870E chipset doesn't offer anything new over the X670E chipset apart from more USB4 ports and more I/O connectivity in general, but that doesn't stop motherboard manufacturers like GIGABYTE from putting in the work on a new mobo like the X870E AORUS MASTER.

GIGABYTE's new X870E AORUS MASTER motherboard features an 8-layer PCB design with 16+2+2 Twin Digital VRM. Each of the power stages is rated to support up to 110A to ensure stability during overclocking, while power to the CPU is delivered through 2 x 8-pin EPS power connectors at the top of the X870E AORUS MASTER.

ASUS has just introduced its new NitroPath DDR5 DRAM technology, which it called as "revolutionary DRAM slot design for high-end gaming motherboards" with its new Zen 5-ready X870E and X870 motherboards.

The company took to its website to explain the benefits of DDR5 over DDR4, with better scaling for the multi-threaded CPU workloads of today, huge bandwidth, and massive efficiency boosts, DDR5 is the "preferred choice for today's PC builders".

ASUS says that we're seeing DDR5 memory kits hitting DDR5-8000 speeds and higher, and that in order to give you the best experience with the fastest RAM, they're introducing an all-new slot design that's built from the ground up for enhanced performance and durability: introducing NitroPath DRAM Technology.

ASUS has just unveiled its fleet of next-generation X870E and X870 motherboards, with the AMD AM5 socket and ready to rock and roll (and overclock) AMD's new family of Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series "Granite Ridge" desktop CPUs.

We have new X870E and X870 motherboards from ASUS and all of its families: ROG, ROG Strix, TUF, PRIME, and ProArt series all get new Zen 5-ready motherboards with a total of 9 new motherboards launched by ASUS during Gamescom 2024 this week.

ASUS includes some new exclusive tweaking features, especially for AMD's new Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series CPUs with features like Dynamic OC Switcher that will turn on AMD PBO (Precision Based Overclocking) or user-preferred settings depending on varying factors. This could provide higher multi-threaded support with manual OC when temperature headrooms are available, or boosted single-threaded performance when PBO is turned on and the headroom is there.

ASUS is all set to unveil its next-gen ROG motherboards based on the new X870E and X870 chipsets, ready to offer the best of everything for AMD's new Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series CPUs.

The company teased its new X870E TUF motherboard at Computex 2024 earlier this year, but at Gamescom 2024 next week, ASUS has announced a special press event where it will unveil some new products from its X870E and X870 motherboard range.

We should expect new ASUS models in the TUF series, ProArt series, ROG Crosshair HERO series, and ROG STRIX series X870E and X870 motherboards.The special press event mentions that ASUS will also be giving away motherboard and CPU bundles as prizes during Gamescom 2024, with the ROG event penciled in for August 20.

MSI will be revealing some of its next-gen Z890 motherboards at Gamescom 2024 next week, with a brief tease of its new Z890 MAG Tomahawk motherboard.

MSI's new fleet of Z890 motherboards will roll out with the new LGA 1851 socket, ready to handle Intel's next-gen Core Ultra 200 series "Arrow Lake" processors. MSI has already teased two of its upcoming Z890 motherboards at Computex 2024 earlier this year, with the Z890 MAG PRO and Z890 MPG EDGE motherboards.

The new Z890 MAG Tomahawk will be a new mid-range Z890 motherboard offering from MSI, and we should have more details of this new motherboard next week. As for details on the Core Ultra 200 series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors, we're still waiting for Intel to announce a release date for them.

MSI has just posted its latest AM5 BIOS which offers up to 10% additional performance in gaming with AMD's new Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series CPUs.

MSI's fleet of AM5 motherboards are now loaded with the latest AGESA 1.2.0.0a BIOS that features exclusive BIOS features like "Memory Try It" and "High-Efficiency" mode that offers additional tuning and performance-boosting abilities, in additional to EXPO OPP and Curve Shapder features that are on all AM5 motherboards running the new AGESA BIOS and new Ryzen 9000 series "Granite Ridge" processors.

The company took to a blog post to explain it all, posting some performance benchmarks of its latest AM5 motherboards that will propvide the additional performance from the new BIOS on AMD's latest Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series CPUs.

AMD's new Ryzen 9000 Series CPU launch might have been delayed by a few weeks, but it's still around the corner. And with the new Zen 5 processors fully supported by existing AM5 boards, GIGABYTE has announced that it's now rolling out BIOS updates for its X670, B650, and A620 Motherboards for the new CPUs.
