ASROCK X570 TAICHI - THE RYZEN 3000 MOTHERBOARD GIBBO & 8 PACK RECOMMENDS

Not sure if this has been posted already, but if anyone else is noticing high SB temperatures even when sat idle or in BIOS - check the heatsink and fan assembly under the M.2 shield.

I noticed that the one attached to my board seemed loose, in that there was a few millimetres of movement from side to side when touching the heatsink. There are 2 screws on the back of the board which secure the heatink to the board, I tightened those up and now have SB temperatures in the low 50s when idle or in BIOS, whereas before just sitting in BIOS would see the temperature creep up over 70C and keep going up.

I wasn't experiencing any random shutdowns but I hate seeing unnecessarily high temperatures, especially when it's a result of something which seems like simple, poor quality control.

What @Mean Mr Mustard said is correct. My X570 Taichi arrived today, and while waiting for the 3900X to arrive (stuck at Milano since Friday), read this post and checked the board.
The 2 screws on the back, those inside the "gears" were not tighten up.


Thank you mate :)

Btw I like this board looks and feels pretty solid. If it had bit more yellow, it would resemble the best motherboard ever, the Asrock Z170 Formula OC.

The same board others used with hacked bios to run 8700K and 9900K on it, hitting 5.5Ghz :D
So that was what the included to the motherboard dehumidifier was all about......

What fan setting do you use for PCH chipset?

I'm idling at 62c in todays hot weather with the PCH fan set to off. I have set it to go to 40% when temps go above 75c.

I'm using the stock silent preset and it's currently idling at 57C, went up to 63C earlier during gaming, can't hear the fan at all now. It's a massive improvement from the 70C idle and 85C+ that I was seeing when gaming, with the fan running at full tilt. I was on the verge of going through the hassle of returning the board under DSR because of it, but I'm happy now.
 
Question, has anyone had an issue with the USB-C front panel connector being blocked by a GPU on this board? I am hesitating over the X570 Taichi, MSI Meg Ace or the Aorus Master. Main concerns are chipset fan noise/temps and if the USB-C cable will be blocked.

Seen several mentions of people using the lower PCIE slot because of that stupid position.

Are you sure you're measuring the correct sensor? That seems very low. In HWMointor it's SYSTIN. In Asrock Motherboard utility/A-Tunibng it's listed as SB Temperature.

Never mind I was looking at the wrong thing on HWInfo. Mine shows 59C, and its pretty hot today.
 
So nobody has been having issues with it getting hot enough to shutdown the machine with a long GFX installed? Just curious cause i like the price point of this MB (want the 3 pcie slots for VM work) and that was a concern i saw pop up in some other communities comments.
