AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

It seems to be only when using high throughput drives that things heat up.
According to Buildzoid it only needs active cooling while running m.2 raid loads. Fine for everything else.

Such a blanket statement and he couldn't possibly know that without actually testing it himself. It's possible to throttle single drives without active cooling. It's entirely conditional...
Entirely possible. If so, it seems the only board to get is the Aorus Extreme from Gigabyte, which is awesome VRMs + cooling, and passive chipset cooling.

Passive won't necessarily be better, in fact, it's not likely to be.
yeah , i like buildzoid dont get me wrong , but 70% of anything he says is complete conjecture. Even his math for the most part is a stab in the dark
I doubt Gigabyte would sabotage their highest end motherboard like that.

cooling on the Xtreme is fine without fans .
can see why all vendors were forced to add small fans that push less are then a GPU and case fans would over it - fear of anything going wrong .
I cant see many gamers here setting up raid pcie 4.0 m.2s.... maybe in the future , but still dont see it
OC3D free to do VRM thermal testing again? went quite with z390
just surprised they didnt do heatpipes to the back of the mobo like Z390 version. but they have gone back to full finned heatsinks found on x470 Gaming 7 rather then the half ****y heatsink block and half fin array .
Still surprised Asus were only vendor to do watercooled VRMs , though least ASRock would take a stab at it
ekwb will be LOVING x570 !
most likely Mobo block with heatpipe to chipset as most boards there isnt a clear path
** buildzoid is also given a lot more info directly
Would be nice, but unless it's an entirely separate block I don't think any board has the space to run a water channel down past the RAM for an old-school full-cover block. EK say they're working on it, but it's not easy.
Azrock has you covered. Full motherboard waterblock. X570 Aqua

Need to wait for reviews, and full testing until we know there.
The chipset(X570) is apparently 11W, up from x470 8.5W. Seems under some heavy loads it cranks out some heat; and so far only the Aorus Xtreme with fins and heatpipes, instead of plastic, and bling doesn't have a fan.
What's the value proposition for the low-mid range X570 boards? From the random price leaks I've heard they made no sense at all.
Fair enough if you want PCIE 4.0 but there's going to be plenty of top end X370/X470 board with good VRMs for comparatively peanuts.
Mind you I'm still on SATA SSDs so maybe I'm just getting old

I just realise that AMD are trolling us. There is no way in hell 3700 can become 3800 with 100MHz and 60-65% TDP increase.
They must fix their crass lineup before it's too late.
Compare with the Ryzen 1000 and 2000 lineup initial pricing, nowhere near as bad as the presented 3000 pricing.

ASRock have done full watercooled with the Aqua shown above.
