MSI’s AMD B650 Motherboards Official MSRP Leaks Out, Prices Starting at $189 US & Most Models Below $300 US

None of them are based on the B650E chipset, but if you're buying a low end card, you won't need to worry about PCIe 5.0. After all, PCIe 5.0 SSDs will be very expensive and won't bring a big jump over the existing 4.0 ones, at least the first gen. And if PCIe 4.0 is enough for the 4090, it will be enough for whatever mid-range card you may buy during the lifespan of that system.

Some 4090 leaks from Wccftech comment section as the reviewers sometimes post some stuff:

61C + 3.1 Ghz + 16,384 cuda cores + 509 watts on Air cooling alone is crazy. Obviously these are now 3.5-4 slot coolers so the heatsinks are massive. But least we know the temps won't be the limiting factor when it comes to OC.

Good to see that temps are kept at bay, but dear God, 509W!

Yea it just feels odd to get a new platform with old platform features probably why we see such low sales of Zen 4. I think most people will be waiting for the PCI-E 5 boards to get discounted before they make the jump and with less than 5% performance uplift in a lot of cases, it makes little sense to upgrade otherwise.

And yea, it's crazy. With those temps, I think it can go over 600 watts if they continue to push the clocks on Air. But people should note that 3.1 Ghz is also OC. From what I have seen in the comment sections, it hovers around 2.8-3.0 Ghz at around 400 watts on the Msi Suprim at "stock" which more like factory OC.

3ghz gets around 20,000 TSE score compared to around 11,000 on a 3090 Ti.
