The "competition" is simply the PCB and cooling solution which isn't exactly high-tech. [–]marcelser 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children). Tens of dozens of ARM/RISC-V manufacturers and growing. [–]htt_novaqi5-3570k @ 4.3 / Vega 56 @ 1540 UV 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children). Buy the features you want. I will likely end up with the elite and will likely save 100 dollars or so too! [–]thermiderp 36 points37 points38 points 1 year ago (4 children). Temps never seem to get to above mid-high 50s c on the chipset, and the danger zone for those is 90-100 c I believe. TL,DW short list by most silent to noisiest anyone? The X570 Taichi as of the 1.60 bios will allow a zero speed on the custom curve. So much competition in motherboards, yet so little competition in GPU and CPU markets. [–]hackenclawQ9650 | Radeon 7790 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children). X570 Chipset Temperatures and Fan Noise. Just to clarify: we didn't get any coil whine on any of these boards (or any in general really). The chipset fan on my X570-E Gaming is pretty silent as far as I am aware. [–]yqtyyz 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children). That last option is only slightly less invasive than entirely switching to a different CPU arch though. Uh, there are more GPU AIBs than there are motherboard manufacturers. I use mine with no fan until 70c, for non-gaming passive use it usually sits around 67-69 but I've seen it get to 70 as the highest. [–]ryao 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago* (6 children). Rule 7: No shitposts or memes - Shitposts and memes are not allowed. But honestly until you start pushing a 3900X to it's limits it shouldnt make much of a difference, and from what I see from overclocking now the CPU temps/voltage become an issue way before the VRMs do. This comment was so hard to find lol, glad to hear. Zero compatibility issues, good fan profiles, great feature set, and I'm pretty sure gigabyte has had the AB bios update for a few weeks now so they've been really on top of bios updates so far. 4 x Front USB 2.0 ports. 2 x RGB headers. AM4 is all about longevity and these 10 cent fans are just begging to fail and end up bricking the board(or at least severely limiting your features), Its all about the margins though I suppose. for us PC users it's going to take a while to convince us maybe X86 will remain to be the advanced user platform. Would probably require a bit of research which I dont think most users would do :-/, [–]hackenclawQ9650 | Radeon 7790 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children). [–]Foritain-Techtesters[S] 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (6 children). AMD X570 Chipset. On the bright side, LLVM updates would result in the software on a machine becoming faster. Gigabyte lets you turn the fan off if the chipset is under 60C.... i set that on day one and dont think it turned on even once. ROCK-SOLID PERFORMANCE . Which is great of course. [Cyberpunk] To the people claiming the SMT-Fix on 8 core CPUs is just placebo: I did 2x9 CPU-bottle-necked benchmark runs to prove the opposite. Short Version: It isn't enough to matter between the various motherboards. Get faster performance and keep your chipset cooler to begin with, use your 4 CPU lanes before chipset lanes. The minute microcenter gets the Xtreme in stock, I am taking this board back...it is unbearable. I would think the path of least resistance here is patent reform, but obviously businesses are going to fight back on that, so it would have to be a pretty powerful grassroots movement. Thank you! [–]Foritain-Techtesters[S] 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (1 child). To be fair it's rare for it to spin up period. Of course that's a sample specific thing if anything, but in general not a main concern. It's on their website. Like shit, there's passive coolers out there for 65w CPUs. I’m not sure if it’s a bad thing but it’s definitely bigger than my board. VIA is actually owned by a pretty large conglomerate, but it seems they've been content to stick in embedded markets. SSE2 btw came out in 2000, and SSE3 in 2004. Likewise for the Gigabyte. [–]rafamundezAMD|3900x|32 GB 4000 MHz CL19|Titan RTX|x570 Gigabyte Aorus I 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago (7 children), Uhhh 38 - 42 dB is actually quite loud. New Cyberpunk patch 1.05 actually makes performance worse on AMD 8 core CPUs? The BIOS now correctly reports the proper rpm. [–]lystig 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child). First time building a pc, picked up a 1080Ti from some I knew who upgraded, and planning on Ryzen 7 3700x, what would be the best motherboard for me to pick up in terms of performance/noise?

Got my Aorus x570 Master motherboard and will be replacing the x570 chipset fan with Watercool's Heatkiller NB/SB chipset Waterblock. You can finally change LED color on the reference RX6000 series cards! It's not known why they stopped, but I would guess there may have been some legal threats behind closed doors. Remember when nVidia nForce was a thing? [–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago* (1 child), Imo someone should've just ditched the 3rd full length pcie slot for extra area to get passive cooling. [–]Cacodemon85 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children). Eh, I wouldn't praise the motherboard market too much. [–]ryao 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago* (4 children). The first one to release a passively cooled x570 motherboard will shower in money after all. My fan never comes on, idle temps around 50-55. Dude try reading, the CH8 (which is what you mention you bought in another post) has x570 fan chipset is nothing like OP x570 chipset which he has issue with. [–]firedrakes2990wx 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children), true. This would of course primarily be interesting for the list of boards that have a mode for which the chipset fan does not run until a certain temperature is reached. So when the chipset fan has, on average, a ~20 dB higher sound level between it and a good case fan, we are talking 4x the perceived loudness. For what it's worth I am using a PCIe 4.0 NVMe that has my Windows install on it. Sep 25, 2020 #49 I. Ice009 Weaksauce. [–]azeiaRyzen 9 3950X | Radeon RX 560 4GB 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children). 320 $50 off, so $270, I’m not really sure what puts this mobo over others, but I do want something that will run well, a large reason I was looking to build a pc is my current Mac isn’t handling my workload well anymore. I can't speak to the longevity of the chipset fans, but if its not even spinning for the vast majority of the time I can't imagine we'll see many failures during the working lifetime of the board. [–]Foritain-Techtesters[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children). [–]return_of_the_ring 11 points12 points13 points 1 year ago (2 children). Could probably be achieved with bios update, let's hope they do so! Exactly for the reason you're asking actually: If you add a tiny bit of airflow, even a big open-design GPU for example in the slot above it, the fan won't even spin up at all on the GB/MSI boards. [–]thebloodyaugustABC 114 points115 points116 points 1 year ago (33 children). Let's start over: you can completely ignore any claims, comparisons or measurements provided by the manufacturer. The gpu doesn't stress the chipset unless you run multi-gpu depending on the board. I had to set the fan speed to Custom and set up a curve with the duty cycle set at 0 for lower temps. I know it seems far-fetched, but we're postulating a world where Linux has already become the primary mainstream OS; in such a world it might have a domino effect and cause other projects to become open, perhaps through competition. If so how customizable is it? I found no video that shows the bios on that motherboard. When I spoke to ASRock they did mention a new bios but specifically did not mention a passive fan mode :-/. No more VIA etc. Not sure though, Im not a handyman :D, [–]ngoni3700x | 2080 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children). [–]maha420[] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children). I just bought this board. ~1500rpm never really getting above 70c. [–]yellowpasta_mech 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child). All of the water cooling features are taken from another build which I liked, but I’m definitely open to any suggestions you might have. Elite VRM is the same VRM on the pro, pro wifi, and ultra ($300 board). [–]McGryphon3950X + Vega "64" 2x16GB 3800c16 Rev. However i don't know if that changes if I were to hang 2 PCI-E 4.0 SSDs off that chipset. [–]Chrushev 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children). GB is not my favorite brand but they are in my top 3. [–]JoshHardware 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children). It's a good thing they did... As for 2 Gen 4 SSD's, we would have tested if we could have, but we only have the one Gen 4 SSD so far. No coil whine when the ace spins up. How about these $500 motherboards invest in a decent copper heatsink rather than aluminium trash and a $0.10 fan? [–]Jyiiga 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (5 children). [–]babugz 36 points37 points38 points 1 year ago (5 children). I no longer have the issue of the chipset fan spinning out of control. If it offers all the headers you need? Is the chipset fan being right in line with where your gpu would sit an issue? [–]rafamundezAMD|3900x|32 GB 4000 MHz CL19|Titan RTX|x570 Gigabyte Aorus I 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago* (3 children). with the standard size like 40mm x 40mm or 60mm x 60mm? Without audio or video of the actual fan noise, this video doesnt help me at all. [–]azeiaRyzen 9 3950X | Radeon RX 560 4GB 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (3 children). but by then corp lvl already was using it(big business ). In my personal opinion, the best way to win such a case in the modern age is to make it public; use social media to create public outcry against monopolistic business practices, and use that to make the court case as public and visible as possible. Nowadays a lot of business law gets decided by who has more money, it's sad but it's the current state of affairs; there are of course exceptions, but still. This is literally why I chose the Gigabyte Master x570 board over everything else as I saw this discussion playing out on their message boards. In the case of game engines for instance, it would only take like one company to make an open source engine that dominates everything else, for others to feel the pressure and realize there is no money in keeping theirs closed anymore. But the Elite offers a better VRM and a ton more headers (incl type-c for your case), so a well rounded package for about ~25$ more (region dependant). But in all seriousness, the chance of you hearing this are slim unless you get a case with terrible airflow making the fan spin up. A typical 120 mm noctua fan has a max dB of 22.6 dB. Personally I think it's only a matter of time before ARM Replaces X86. Gigabyte flaunts its fleet of X570 motherboards, including the passively cooled Aorus X570 Xtreme :OCheck out our sponsors. And it was actually regarded quite highly? If the post lacks said comment, it will be removed. Rule 4: All posts must be related to AMD or AMD products.

But theres a point where selling more at a lower margin is worth it, [–]Foritain-Techtesters[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children). There is a reason -every- brand is doing fan stop on their GPUs, i bet their fan-based RMA rates have crashed down.
