The MSI X670E motherboards which have been listed on the official websites don’t list the memory specs hence we can’t say for sure whether the Z790 or X670E series will support faster memory. There is also a possibility that they might not differ at all. Biostar is the only one that lists memory specs. Even Gigabyte, ASUS, and ASRock don’t do so.
