Error spotted, the X670E Pro RS has 5x nVME drives for Storage, plus the WiFi M2 slot.!

I still wonder why AMD went with X670 and X670E instead of X670 and X690...

Because it's the same chipset. X670 and X670E motherboard both use the same chips. The E is just amd certified Tag that denotes that the board has 2 full size gen 5 pcie , a 4x pcie gen 5 and some level of overlooking worthy power delivery circuit ( whatever that means. I don't think amd stated how many phases and what wattage per phase ).

Valid point, they should’ve done that. And numbers can mean anything btw, the important thing is to make it have a different name.

How is the 7-channel audio on the X670E motherboards only being done with two audio jacks? I just see one mic input jack and one output jack

you gonna use two jacks at front + two jacks at back

That doesn't make sense. Motherboards have had three output jacks on the back for 5.1/7.1 speakers for as long as I remember. So we're supposed to connect two speaker wires to the front of the case!?

Did a bit of searching and found out that Gigabyte did this non-standard audio BS with 12th Gen Intel boards too. Now AsRock is joining the mix. These are $400, probably $500+ boards. The least they could do is add proper audio capabilities. Sigh,

three ouput jacks is 5.1 only, for 7.1 you had to use one front panel connector...so nothing new really
