Motherboards/AMD AM4 by stefan @ 2018-10-21
With the X470 Gaming M7 AC AM4 board, MSI is offering full support for the latest Ryzen 2000 series and also comes with improvements regarding PCB design. It does support the latest technologies, status LEDs are available all around the board for troubleshooting, while the excellent onboard audio implementation makes you wonder if you should really purchase a separate sound card. While it is not mandatory for desktop computers, MSI have also included a WiFi AC interface (Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 card) with dual antennas; the card also supports up to BT 4.2 for connecting other devices such as portable speakers, peripherals while the LAN connection is fully optimized for low latencies thanks to the Killer E2500 Gigabit controller. The cherry on the top represents the CORSAIR header for connecting RGB hubs, freeing up this way one extra USB 2.0 header for other applications.
