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

Agreed. My Asus P6T Deluxe V2 had an optional chipset fan included but I never used it. The problem is tiny fans tend to make loads of noise, so it'll be interesting to hear reviews of different boards and whether it's a problem or not.

Can tiny fans like that be swapped out for a noctua replacement (do they make fans that small) and would it make a difference?
 
Just because there is a chipset fan doesn't mean it's loud, might be slow moving just enough to push some air over the fins; or only active under certain load levels; hopefully it'll be controlable via BIOS.

From the article "The most interesting feature of this motherboard is the use of an active fan cooler over the PCH heatsink which is colored red. This would be configurable using the bundled software so it’s up to the user if he wants to have the fan spinning for extra cooling performance at the cost of higher noise output or vice versa."

Higher than zero noise could be literally any noise value at all.

New ones top out at around 30db, but will be adjustable.
 
With those little fans it's less the volume that's a problem rather the pitch. They are so high pitched, it's horrible. even and low volume. it's a whine. Rather than a sound of moving air.

If that is accurate then it is a significant uplift in IPC. Even 'normal' 4.2-4.5Ghz clocks should prove very impressive for performance.

We will see. Right now, it is difficult to predict if the scores will scale properly once the clocks are adjusted upwards.

Zen 2 ES 12C/24T: 107 | 428 | 1805 @3.35-3.4GHz
Zen TR 1920X: 125 | 497 | 2096 @4.15-4.2GHz
difference: 16.8% | 16.1% | 16.1% @23.8%-23.5%
 
I really wouldn't take anything too seriously just yet as it's continually updated, I'm no longer able to use the latest build as my stepping is too old. If anything, things will only get better

More chipset fans. Got to say im not overly happy. Those little fans make a horrible noise. Alas, if the performance is there I will live with it.

My pc will be getting a loop so I’ll be holding off until ekwb has a block for it so I don’t have to look at or hear those ugly little fans

But maybe the high end boards will have a better solution than those fans

And I’m just assuming here that someone will make a block too cool the chipset - if it’s not possible due to the small height gap between the chipset and gpu than I dunno guess we have to live with it but that sucks going back to the old school days

The newest run is significantly worse than the 3 month old one though. Online tests like these are so fuzzy, it's really hard to get any hard numbers, or even vague ones sometimes.

It's pretty clear now that a chipset fan is a requirement. Which yes is annoying. But if the performance is worth it cant really complain.

Well since I have a SFF system,it means no X570 for me,especially if the B550 is based on the existing B450 so no PCI-E 4.0 it appears. Mini-ITX boards will lack the space to put a fan unless its tiny,and even they managed to somehow integrate the VRM and chipset heatsinks together its going to run hot.

I will stick with my current B450 board.
