MSI’s MPG X870E Edge Ti Wifi is a well-rounded option in the budget X870E space, offering users fast storage and networking, good performance, and a silver-white look that stands out from the dull black we’re used to, but otherwise mixes in with the competition.

The latest motherboard to land on our test bench is the inexpensive-for-the-platform MSI MPG X870E Edge Ti Wifi. Currently (at the time of this writing) priced at $299.99 on Newegg, it’s one of the least expensive ATX-size X870E boards available. But don’t let the low price fool you, as it comes with everything you’d expect from the enthusiast platform, but at a reasonable price. On top of the lower price point, the silver-white color scheme and RGB dragon on the VRM heatsinks are sure to turn heads as well.
Hardware-wise, the board comes loaded with features, including 40 Gbps USB4 ports, 5 GbE and Wi-Fi 7, ample storage options featuring dual PCIe 5.0 M.2 sockets, a quality mid-range audio solution, and plenty of EZ DIY and EZ OC features to assist with building, upgrades, and overclocking. Performance on the X870E Edge Ti Wi-Fi was solid throughout testing and often ranked near the top of our performance charts. Memory speeds are listed to DDR4-8400, so there is plenty of headroom on paper for fast RAM if you choose (though our Klevv DDR5-8000 kit, unsurprisingly, didn’t work). No matter if you’re gaming, a creative, or just need a lot out of your motherboard, the Edge Ti should have what you are looking for.
Below, we’ll examine the board's details and determine whether it deserves a spot on our list of the best motherboards . But before we share test results and discuss details, here are the specifications from MSI’s website.
