Finally the MSI
Pros:
- No lane sharing with the x16 PCIE slot
- New MSI BIOS looks pretty nice
- Has three USB C ports (2x USB4, and 1x 10 gbps)
- Wifi 7 is apparently a bit better than Gigabyte's; not that I would be able to take advantage of that
- Has 5 Gbps LAN (RTL8126) vs the Gigabyte (2.5G RTL8125B) or the Asus (2.5G i225)
- Uses a Nuvoton SuperIO that is well supported in Linux
Cons:
- Lane sharing with USB4 ports and one of the m.2 slots
- Green accents are a bit weird, coming from the grey X570 board I'm currently using
- Most expensive ($460 CAD)
- Some sporadic reports of instability with the X870 version of this board, unsure if this also extends to the X870E and to what extent
- Has the least USB-A ports available on top of having the same 4 USB 2.0 ports as the Gigabyte
