TL;DR
I'm asking you, all the Ryzen 3000 owners with x570 motherboards... how loud is the chipset fan really, in 2020, after several bios updates. Is it still whining like a baby after all the bios updates of the last 6 months? Under what conditions does it get whiny and loud? Does a PCIe 4 m.2 drive work the chipset harder, and thus heat it more, and thus make the fan louder? Please help ya boy.

I'm building my first new PC in 10 years. Yes, I'm still running a 2600k! I saved and saved and I'm finally ready to lay down my hard earned cash for something new. Exciting!
I was going to build a Ryzen system, but I keep reading about (and seeing videos demonstrating) noisy chipset fans.
I use my computer to record music and to podcast, so a quiet system is a MUST. My current case and fan config is about 30(ish) db at 10cm. Not bad at all. But I'm seeing videos online of people's chipset fans whining at high frequency, reading reddit posts of people saying they can't mask the sound or compensate for it with cases designed to reduce or dampen sound, and that the fan curves in BIOS are no help.
Admittedly, many of these posts are from 6-4 months ago. I can't find anything since then, and I'm wondering if BIOS updates have more or less resolved the problem. And then, if the BIOS has changed fan behavior, does the fan still rev up to max speed and whine like a baby sometimes? And under what conditions? I've read that using a PCIe 4 nvme m.2 drive would run the chipset hardest and lead to most head, so would a non PCIe v4 m.2 drive be better?
Aorus Master and Asrock Taichi seem to be particularly bad for fan noise, according to numerous posts and reviews. Is that still the case?
Not looking to know whether the sound "bugs" you. What may bug one person may not bug another. I just want to know, can you hear it audibly, is it cutting through your case fans or CPU cooler as a clear, separate sound?
Thank you all in advance, you people are the best.
Love you all, happy 2020

When the machine is idle in a silent room you can't hear it.
If I run a benchmark I can hear a slight wosh from the Case fans.
I don't hear the Mobo ever.
Auros X570 Pro Wifi, if you didn't tell me there was a fan there I would've said you were lying. I don't hear the thing at all except on boot. I myself made a similarly large jump from the 3570k, and I can tell you my old PSU makes more noise than the entirety of my new PC. The chipset fan is not noticeable at all, even when all other case fans are silent and my chipset fan is spinning at 2000 RPM. Granted my PC is under the table, but it's less than 5 feet from my ears.
slorrin got a reaction from Trentonxx in x570 Chipset Fans: Are they as loud as people claim? A little feedback from Ryzen owners appreciated
