MSI MAG X870E GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI

8
OVERALL SCORE

This review examines the MSI MAG X870E GAMING PLUS MAX WiFi motherboard. The "MAX" signifies the motherboard has been given a few new updates compared to the non-MAX version. The board performs well in all testing and scores the same as other MSI X870E boards we have tested using same components. The new white and silver look is very well done. While "refreshed" for 2026, the cost add-on should be considered before purchase.
