X570 or X470?

X470 because there isn't a fan. I think due to the cost of the X570 there should be some direct benchmark comparisons.

I decided to go X470. I don't regret my decision.

X570 prices have dropped to the point where it's not a great deal more for a decent X570 board. I saw the Aorus Elite for £165 earlier this week, that's solid value for PCI-E 4 support and a decent VRM.

The actively cooling on the chipset is annoying, hopefully some passive versions at normal prices will be incoming next year.

Do or don't regret?

They could have released X570 with large aluminium/copper heatsinks.
Next year would mean X670/B650, with 7nm chipsets...

I had problems with chipset fans approximately 15-20 years ago, so the presence of a chipset fan meant a no-sale as far as x570 was concerned (the fan-less Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme x570 is too expensive for me).
Therefore I bought an ASUS Crosshair VII x470 and an AMD 3600X.

If x570's (or later variants) are released later with passive cooling at reasonable prices, then I may consider a change of motherboard.

Im currently running an X370 board, and wondered if I would see higher limits in Ryzen Master with a X570 board? atm im seeing a TDC of 95 A and ann EDC of 140 A.

When boosting, im seeing the TDC hit 100%.

many thanks,
