Yes fair enough. I didn’t say I intended to continue. Simply informing you it wasn’t off the cuff. I was repeating what was said by staff in another thread. No worries.I'll try and be polite!
You know full well he didn't say go and promote the other place, cos hey!
No more competitor info, full stop
What's your pick for x570?

Whichever board has the least RGB crap on it.
That is my main selection criteria.

I think the Gigabyte Elite is better value for money than the Asrock anyway and seems like the same phase design too.

Waiting on reviews, ideally want a passive board, but the Aorus Xtreme price is a bit stingy.
Anyone know of any other passive boards?

Not Passive but reading the review the MSI Prestige creation only spins up under heavy load.

I could probably live with semi-passive, my PSU and it never spins up.

Went for the Meg Ace - it's much of a muchness at that point and it's a long time since I've had an MSI mobo...

The Taichi looks nice, but i i don't fancy paying £360 just for a board 
I'm wanting to go even smaller than my last build and go either mATX or ITX this time around. Planning on having a PC that I might have to take with me next year to another country as I might be moving. So a small form-factor would be perfect like the ASRock X570M Pro 4 or the Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WiFi. I'm not 100% sure on the later as it only has a single M.2 connection, very few USB ports and unsure about the X3900 compatibility. Choices choices.

Think im going to go for that board too, im just not too keen on the gold accents on it, nothing a little bit of steel wool cant get rid of though.

I'm split between 3700x and 3900x and then between Taichi and Ace, I need mental help lol

I was too until I studied the Taichi a bit more, the lack of heat pipe down the side of the ram slots, RAM slots are not shielded, and according to BZ, although they brag about having DrMOS MOSFETs, apparently they are the cheapest and the worst and only made a bit better by the controller.
