Anyone running MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE AM5 AMD Ryzen?

Anyone running the MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE AM5 AMD Ryzen?

Is it Godlike?
What are you doing with it?

Not using it, but unless you're looking to do Liquid Nitrogen OC, it's even more overkill than my choice.
Current PC: [2023-04-18] Price £549.99 + VAT £110.00 = Total £659.99
Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, AMD X670, AM5, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, 5×M.2, 6×SATA 6GB/s, 2.5G/WiFi 6E, USB 4.0, USB 3.2 A+C, Expo, ATX

I use this with my Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but after recent exploding PC debacle hit while I was mid rebuild, with Dodgy BIOS about to be installed, this is my last Asus product

What tipped the Asus, was number of NVMe slots, and SATA ports, given my 26 TB of storage, and intention to migrate from 3.5 HDD to 2.5 SDD (Data), plus 2.5 SDD (Games/OS) to NVMe over next 5 years.
So unless you have those either of those two specific use cases, or need for another unique feature of such high end boards, these top end Mobos are damn expensive, and the Godlike was more expensive than everything else
I just checked and it's gone up (my memory says it was around £900 last May)
Amazon today
MSI MEG X670E Godlike = £1,338.51
Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero = £612.16

Not cheap, though I'm not rich, I do save up for my 5 year CPU/Mobo/RAM/AIO upgrade cycle (4 year cycle for GPU) see Specs for current.
Honestly, I wouldn't touch the Godlike unless you plan to use LN2, for some serious OC sessions, and then it's pretty much the best you can get, now that EVGA KiNGPiN Mobo's no longer exist.

I always dreaming on the next system.

What I am running now rocks.

I can see that, and if money is not a limiting factor the Godlike is the best, I've seen.
My budget wasn't unlimited, and none of those top of range "LN2 OC" Mobos offered me enough. to justify the added expense to my first full Rebuild since 2013.
From my records, which go back to original 2013 new build, and every upgrade I've made since.

Total = £1, 702.26 is a lot of money for me, (On UK long term illness benefits since 2017), and it does take me years to save up.

One issue for you may be the RAID limitations, I see no RAID 5, and only 5 of the SATA ports seem to even support RAID, but I'm no expert, as RAID is not something I've ever used..
Basically my storage is of many different sizes, bought over last 10 years, so it's not really suited to using RAID
One other thing I see no USB4 (Thunderbolt+USB C connector), here's my mobos USB specs
Rear USB (Total 12 ports)
2 x USB4® ports with Intel® JHL8540 USB4® controller (2 x USB Type-C®)
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port(s) (1 x USB Type-C®)
9 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 port(s) (8 x Type-A + 1 x USB Type-C®)
Front USB (Total 11 ports)
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connector (supports USB Type-C® with up to 60W PD/QC4+)*
2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers) support additional 4 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports
3 x USB 2.0 headers support additional 6 USB 2.0 ports

The Godlike USB
4x USB 2.0 (Front)
4x USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A (Front)
7x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type A (Rear)
1x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type C (Front)
2x USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type C (Rear)
1x USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type C (Front)

That's the biggest drawback to the LN2 OC Mobos I have found, due to that focus, some features I want get dropped, that cheaper boards have.
I had to really dig through all the specs to make my final choice, and for me, it was all the 2nd tier mobos, feature sets that I was comparing.

I don't think that board was built for storage.
That why I have a NAS running a RAID 5.
