MSI Prestige X570 Creation, AMD X570 motherboard - Socket AM4 [7C36-002R]

PCIe 4.0 is backwards compatible and can be used with all previous generations of expansion cards. Each PCIe 4.0 lane has twice the data transfer rate compared to PCIe 3.0, so an NVMe SSD connected via four PCIe 4.0 lanes can achieve a theoretical read / write speed of up to 7.8 GB / s. Each motherboard with the X570 chipset is also suitable for all other AMD CPU series for the socket AM4.

Attention: The following PCIe lane specifications, M.2 slot connectivity and PCIe slot connectivity refers to the combination of the X570 chipset with a third generation Ryzen CPU (Ryzen 3000 / Zen 2 / Matisse) !

The MSI Prestige X570 Creation in detail:
The MSI Prestige X570 Creation X570 motherboard in ATX format has extensive RGB LED lighting on the cover of the I / O panel and on the bottom right. Lighting can be controlled through the manufacturer's Dragon Center software. Additional RGB LED components can be connected and controlled via a 4-pin RGB (12V) header, two 3-pin digital RGB addressable RGB headers (5V), and a 3-pin JCorsair header the RGB software of the motherboard are compatible.

For graphics cards, two PCIe 4.0 slots are available in x16 format, which are directly connected to the Ryzen 3000 processor via a total of 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes. Another PCIe x16 slot is connected to the chipset via 4 lanes (PCIe 4.0 at Ryzen 3000, PCIe 3.0 for all predecessor generations). For plug-in and expansion cards there are also four PCIe 2.0 x1 slots available.
Faster connections thanks to PCI-Express 4.0
The Ryzen 3000 CPUs provide four PCIe 4.0 lanes for direct connection to NVMe SSDs. This X570 motherboard uses these four lanes to connect a single M.2 slot to NVMe SSDs. In addition to another M.2 slot with x4 connection, six SATA 6G ports are also provided via the X570 chipset. Both slots are covered with a heatspreader.

On the I / O panel, the MSI Prestige X570 Creation offers four USB 3.1 ports, once with Type C and three times with Type A female. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port, and USB ports with this standard generally support the fast-charging function of smartphones and tablets, while the novel type-C USB port is very thin and can be inserted on both sides. There are also eight USB 3.0 Type A ports available.

Furthermore, this X570 motherboard offers features such as a WLAN / BT module (Intel Wifi 6 AX200) with 802.11ax to 2.4 Gbps and Bluetooth 5, a 10-gigabit (Aquantia AQC107) and a 1-GBit lan port (Intel I211AT), on-board sound (Realtek ALC1220 Audio Codec) as well as numerous internal headers. Bo (a) rd also includes OC features, an optimized power supply, a CMOS switch and support for RAM kits up to 128 GB. The scope of delivery also includes a PCIe 4.0 card with two M.2 slots.
