Earlier this week, some details, including the PCB layout of the MSI MEG X670E Godlike leaked, but now MSI has shared some additional details, including a picture of the board. In fact, MSI shared most of thespecs of the Godlike board during Computex, but the company didn't release a picture back then. However, now we know the power design, which consists of 24+2 phases and a 105 A power stage. MSI has also created its own screwless M.2 slots, as well as heatsinks, which simply clip in place after the SSD has been installed, although it doesn't appear the Godlike board has screwless heatsinks for more than one of M.2 drives.

Other features include 10 and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, as well as AMD's RZ616 WiFi 6E module. MSI hasn't gone for USB4 from what we know and nothing was mentioned with regards to USB4 during the MSI presentation. MSI also seems to have skipped video outputs on this board, but it's possible that one of the USB-C ports will support display output, even though that wasn't the case back at Computex. As with many other X670E boards, the Godlike supports 60 W USB PD charging via the front USB-C port.
 
This is a very good looking motherboard with outstanding specs.

    It's a nice looking board with great features but I think it might not be for everyone with the art style on it. Having interface shield with the dragon kind of impacts what works for the rest of a build in a way.

    I'd rather have a stenciled dragon than lots of RGB bling that adds cost to the board, because I'll be turning off the RGB regardless. I'm not going to have a glass panel on my case, so features, cost, and UEFI design/quality are the only things I am looking at for my X670 board. For example Gigabyte did some funky stuff with their UEFI DDR5 voltage settings on its Z690 boards, so it's likely GB will carry that nonsense over to AMD DDR5 boards. If so that rules them out right off. 


    Have water, will cool.
