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

The chipset cooler is a definate design flaw. i have a lian li o11 dynamic with 3 fans at the bottom sucking in air which means i have large air flow at the bottom of the case. But my chipset stil hits 65 when gaming . The only way to fully negate this would be a full waterblock on the gpu . But i would imagine few a prepered to go down this route?

it’s a huge expense and makes upgrading a pain. Hoping custom SB coolers will be available soon. Just going to strip off all the SB heat sinks and put some effective on if possible.
 
I do wonder why 8 Pack and Gibbo recommended this with it's gaping flaw?? Allough i must admit to knowing nothing about the chipsets thermal rating. Maybe it is capable of sitting at 70 deg + for years?

IM getting some weird buzing noice while in games or from this board anyone know what is the issue.

( well this board doing my nut in evrything works fine when i join the game i hear buzzing sounds from headphones i tried loads stuff still does it )

The board can for some people overheat resulting in the pch fan hitting high rpm noises
 
Amazing what people have to do now to get a working board

Amd said don’t worry about he chipset fan it’s all under control.

Now people are forced to modify their fans, use different gpu cooling, having to get a different case and in other situations having to deal with a chipset that hits high temps and causes the fan to make a lot of noise

Very premium product indeed
 
Got this board on Friday, and I must admit the SB fan is a whiny little thing. It was on stock bios when I got it and it seemed to be using the cpu temp for fan control as it was ramping up and down with the cpu fan. Updated to 1.70A (?) and it seems more under independent control.

Been monitoring it during a session of Division 2, and fan seem to drop to a minimum of 2,960 when idle - but ramps up to 5,844 max. Max SB temp is 77c. That's quite toasty.

I took the metal cover off to fit an M2 card, and noticed there is a thermal pad on the top of the SB heat sink so that should also be transferring heat to the metal plate too?

Awaiting an aftermarket solution - fine with a long heatpipe and something at bottom of case/front of fans if needs be.

As for M2 slots - I put mine in "M2_2", the middle of the three and in the centre of the cover plate. Do I need to fit M2 cards in order? Also nothing in the manual showing resource allocations so don't know what slots share resources etc.

My old pc was 7 years old, and that board had a heatpipe connecting SB to power heat sinks. Not sure why this kind of setup was used on most X570 boards. How does power draw of a Z77 intel chipset compare to X570?

It's been recommended a lot for the quality of its VRM, and the other features aren't comparable with other boards at the same price. If the chipset fan is running too high it could be a firmware issue rather than design flaw.

Don't think it's a firmware issue, it just gets very hot as the metal armour is heated by the GPU air and this heats the chipset. Plus the air intake for the chipset is right where the GPU exhausts. I don't think firmware is likely to fix it.

All boards have the chipset in the same place though don't they? I guess a front intake fan at the bottom of the case could help if it's not being used for water cooling.

This thing does put me off X570 a lot, since PCI-E 4.0 is useless to anyone at the moment unless you use high end NVME, I'd rather the boards had PCI-E 4.0 as an option instead.

They do - it's called B550. And patience. :)

The more I read these OCUK threads on Bios/mobo/chipset fan/cpu temps/memory (etc., etc.) issues, the more glad I am that I postponed upgrading until at least 2Q 2020.
