Hello, your question is clear. The MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM has those 8 plus 4 pin connectors on top for the CPU, which is standard. The six pin connectors at the bottom are likely for additional components or features, but they aren't required for the CPU itself. If you plan to upgrade later, you might need them depending on what you add. (You mentioned a Ryzen 7 1800X—good luck with that!)
Euh how is that toxic? Just trying to make sure not a wrong buy is made as this is collectors item board and thus costs more than used than new boards do that do more. Same story with the 1800x because it's the fastes zen 1 it hold it's value quite a bit but cheaper new zen cpu's easily beat it So basically a warning of watch out you don't overpay for old slower hardware Btw this is a Canadian forum
Stay cool, he’s pointing out that those components have risen in cost and don’t offer much value compared to the newer low-cost options. He’s right—there should be a solid reason to invest in these parts, since a better deal likely exists within your budget. Could you share your budget and what you’re trying to achieve? If we know this, we can look for alternatives that deliver better performance at a lower cost. Also, where are you planning to purchase?
You can confidently say that you're the one causing the toxicity. Stay calm.
In my opinion, you're exaggerating a bit. Many are sharing their thoughts on the board you mentioned, so it's not a personal attack. Checking out the "New Builds & Planning" forum shows we rarely suggest the X570, especially at that price point. In fact, we sometimes buy used parts when they're safe. Some people get curious because they assume you intend to purchase it, but they don't know the details. That model tends to attract overclocker enthusiasts who prefer something better without risking a poor quality buy. Just explaining your reasoning is enough—no need to worry about being criticized.
