Motherboard & CPU Combo for AM5

This bundle pairs the MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard with a Ryzen 9 9900X processor. The 12-core, 24-thread CPU runs up to 5.6 GHz and fits the AM5 socket. The board delivers an X870E chipset, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10G and 5G LAN, plus Wi-Fi 7. It targets builders who want maximum connectivity and overclocking headroom in one package.

Thermals Power and Noise

The Ultra Power+ design uses a 26+2+1+1 DRPS layout rated at 110 A per stage to feed the CPU cleanly. A 3.99-inch Dynamic Dashboard III LCD shows real-time temperatures, fan speeds and power draw so you can tune cooling curves. The EZ Link system consolidates front-panel, fan and ARGB headers into a single bridge, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow paths through the case.

Seven M.2 Slots and PCIe 5.0

Seven M.2 sockets are provided, with the first two wired to the CPU for PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds at 2280 or 2260 lengths. The remaining slots run from the chipset at PCIe 4.0. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports support RAID 0, 1 and 10 alongside NVMe RAID on the M.2 array. This density decides whether the board fits a storage-heavy workstation or a simpler gaming build.

Highlights

  • Real-time monitoring via 3.99-inch Dynamic Dashboard III LCD

Questions about this item

How do I install the CPU into the AM5 socket and what step do builders often get wrong?

Lift the AM5 socket lever, align the Ryzen 9 9900X triangle marker with the socket corner, place the chip gently without pressure, lower the lever until it clicks, then secure the retention frame. The step often missed is removing the protective plastic cover from the socket before insertion.

What maintenance will the 3.99-inch Dynamic Dashboard III LCD need over time?

The LCD requires no scheduled maintenance. If the display dims or shows artefacts, update the motherboard firmware through the dashboard interface itself or via MSI Center software. Dust can be removed with a dry microfibre cloth; avoid liquids on the panel.

What thermal limit appears first when the Ryzen 9 9900X runs sustained all-core loads on the 26+2+1+1 DRPS power stage?

The CPU will hit its 5.6 GHz max boost ceiling and then throttle to maintain safe temperatures. The 110 A per phase delivery keeps voltage stable, so the first limit encountered is the processor's own thermal junction maximum, not the VRM capacity.
