MSI PRO X870-P WiFi (AM5/AMD X870/ATX/60A SPS VRM/Wi-Fi 7/5G LAN) Review
The PRO X870-P WiFi is MSI's value-tier board on the X870 chipset, giving budget-conscious AM5 builders PCIe 5.0 GPU and M.2 support along with unusually fast 5G LAN for a PRO-series board.
Power delivery uses a 60A SPS VRM design, a step below MSI's MAG and MPG tiers but still sufficient for Ryzen 9000 non-X3D chips at stock clocks. Four DDR5 UDIMM slots support up to 256GB total capacity, with overclocked speeds rated up to 8200+ MT/s. Expansion includes a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot from the chipset. Storage covers multiple M.2 slots including PCIe 5.0 Gen5 support. A 5Gbps LAN controller provides fast wired networking at a PRO-series price, paired with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Audio uses MSI's standard Realtek implementation with USB 40Gbps support. Against the MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi in this batch, the PRO X870-P WiFi trades some VRM headroom (60A versus the Tomahawk's higher-rated stages) for a lower price while matching its 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 7 support.
