Having built my Intel build on MSI previously and an AMD build on ASUS, I thought I'd try the AMD offering by MSI and, while I'd have loved a Carbon, money/value is a thing and this seemed to tick the boxes - 4 NVME's, PCI-E 5.0, tons of USB ports and so on.
Arriving in a box with a nice hole/dent in it - I checked if it was damaged but whatever went through hadn't hit the motherboard - I proceeded with my installation (over a day or so.....).
I will state - the I/O shield is sharp as heck - I sliced my thumb open quite a bit due to a slip (hence the day or so cos......yeah). However, fitting the board into the chassis wasn't an issue, nor was removing the CPU retainer and putting another one in (I had to test if this was a better solution).
First thing I noticed - thought it was dead. Like dead dead. Had 2 lights indicating CPU and RAM weren't good. Oh crap, I thought. However I left it on for like 30 seconds or more and then it started (phew. Positive note - didn't go boom so there's that). Gave me the "New CPU" message, rebooted and as I had a newer BIOS, I flashed that.
Once started, installed Windows and everything went fine - no issues as such. Still not sure on the CPU speed as yet (I haven't seen it boost, but not seen it not boost, unlike the Intel CPU I had which just seems to be perma-boosted). It also asked me to install the MSI software which you can pick n choose without a DVD or USB (I assume it picked that up motherboard side, which is a very nice touch). Seems very stable otherwise - no issues with anything thus far.
Criticisms - BIOS/Startup speed. My older 5000 series AMD build starts MUCH faster than this from power on. I haven't seen/spotted a "Fast Boot" option for the BIOS, so if there is one, it's not so obvious which is a shame. Also the first NVME didn't seem to like having an SSD with its own heatsink - so I'm booting from the 4th one which is fine (it's not a V5 one) but.....kinda not how I'd like it.
That said - build went well, very stable thus far and for the low price, it's fine. Yes I'd prefer a Carbon, but at over £150 difference currently, hard to justify it.

Went with this as it has all of the features you would want, especially a debug led error code display to help troubleshoot any issues with more accuracy than the four standard led debug leds. Plenty of connectivity for sata and m.2 drives and rear connections as well. Bonus is the primary gpu slot is positioned lower allowing for better clearance to any cpu cooler, especially if you use any offsets to help position the cpu cooler heatsink over any am5 hotspots over the ccds.
Also a nice understated design.
3 months on and it fails to recognise my 2nd nvme drive, consistently getting BSOD and can't run my expensive DDR5 RAM at full speed.
I think the high review score here is because they grouped it with the other models that actually do work, but the PRO X670-P WIFI is an absolute pile of s**t.
Original review:
First off, it doesn't come with much, a couple of sata cables and a few of the most stupid M.2 "locker" screws that are supposed to lock your M.2 drives in better. Pointless and fiddly.
The MSI software is useless and may or may not actually install depending on your luck. If it does install it probably won't do what you want, the fan section on mine stopped working and would instead load the Mystic light feature so I can no longer set fan speeds.
Then we get the random BSOD and total failure to post, I had to use the Bios flash option and the button on the back that it luckily has otherwise it would have been sent back.
The bios is fairly configurable and it boots pretty quick if it recognises your RAM, if it's not recognised it will sit at a black screen for ages before finally posting.
4x M.2 ports is good, and the gen5 one is nice, which was my main reason for buying, but overall not recommended.
The post code screen is handy, that it tells you the CPU temp. If RGB matters , the Dragon logo looks great, in a subtle way, that I prefer. There are lots of connections and all at the edges of the board so you shouldn't have any problems. The primary GPU slot is super low down, if your case has fans at the bottom they are literally two inchs away, its great for making sure your GPU never has to spin up and become noisy.
The one click Bios is as dependable as ever. Top tip, put your CPU in Eco mode. Significantly less power and noise and little to no performance loss (in fact its a gain for me as it boosts more consistently). With my 7600x I prefer 65 TDP. The Bios has been updated and it now boots 50% faster, which is great.
The downsides (as there is with any board) are as follows. The board is slightly tacky on the back, looks uniform but is likely some residue left over from the factory. Washers under the NVME heatsinks look a little cheap and liable to be lost. No paper manual. Only small nit picks, but I'm considering the price point when writing this.
Overall a great board, so I'm happy to give this a 4 out of 5 stars. Excellent compared to other AM5 boards and "good" in the wider PC ecosystem. Should last many years, with AMD's continued CPU socket support. Recommended.

It is one of the most expensive AM5 motherboard and even this, it is still not feels absurdly overpriced then the other AMD motherboards in this price class.
No full manual included, which is stupid.
Reviewed in Canada on 18 May 2024
It is one of the most expensive AM5 motherboard and even this, it is still not feels absurdly overpriced then the other AMD motherboards in this price class.
No full manual included, which is stupid.
None of the M2 slot support SATA, only NVme.
Enable Memory Context Restore in BIOS under DRAM setting for faster booting.
Memory Context Restore is the new FAST BOOT for MSI I think.
M2 slots don't disable SATA 3 and 4, not sure about the 1, 2, 5, 6. Didn't try.
This motherboard has onboard graphic.
Good luck,
The previous board I had was a MSI Gaming M5 for an Intel 6th gen CPU. I liked a lot of the features, ease of use and the UEFI which led me to stick with them on the second go around. The X670-P WIFI didn't disappoint either.
To start, There are a lot of things I like about this motherboard:
-Simple UEFI/BIOS that is easy to find what you are looking for without spending too much time in.
-MSI Center software that lets you easily monitor system specs, you can also add/remove certain parts of the software that you may or may not need which is a big plus for me.
-Multiple Fan headers and dedicated header for a AIO pump, this is pretty standard on most boards these days but you can never have too many connectors for fans with newer cases seeming to have more and more each generation. (8 Total headers)
-USB headers and connections, there are (2) 2.0, (2) 3.2 Gen1 and (1) 3.2 Gen 2 headers. I have only used a single for my case but like there are is plenty of options.
-RGB connections for 3 and 4 pin, gives a lot of compatibility between RGB components right now.
-Quality of the board and the finishes on the heatsinks feel very sturdy and premium. The overall aesthetic is nice and can go with many color schemes.
-4 M.2 Slots provide plenty of expansion of drives, M.2 is quickly becoming the go to for storage so having several to use is nice for the future.
There are a few things I do wish could be added or improved, although most of these are preferences and probably not the opinion of the majority:
-The newer motherboards seem to be favoring LEDs that indicate failures in the POST, my previous MSI board had a counter display that could give specific error codes and would display the CPU temp during normal operation. In the ~$200 USD price range this seems like it would be a reasonable addition.
-No options for boards without the built in Wi-Fi on the higher end, this is probably an unpopular opinion but I use wired connections for my desktop and just ended up disabling anyway. I'm sure there are plenty that enjoy this feature but would be nice to have a cheaper model without it.
-More USB A connections on the rear panel as there are (6) with (2) USB C. The USB is great but I still have many peripherals that use the older A type and would be nice to not have to unplug, use a hub or get an adapter to use the type C. There are multiple headers so some cases may alleviate this problem with front panel connections.
Overall, I really like this board and its features for the price point. There are not a lot of X670 chipsets that can be had for this price and for that I think it adds a lot of value. I have not had a lot of time to really dive into all the settings on the board and test, but haven't found any performance issues yet. Most of my complaints are minor and therefore I will still give it a five star rating. If you are in the market for an X670 AM5 board, I would strongly advise considering this one for the price point and included features.
