Which X570 Motherboard Are You Most Interested In?

Dumb question. If I were to use a board like the Asus Crosshair VIII Formula without hooking it up to any kind of water loop, would that be bad for it? I want to go with this board and a custom loop. But the custom loop would come way later.

You can use it without water.. It utilizes passive cooling when not water cooled..

yeah, but why?

Get the C8H, and use the money saved for a full sized waterblock, making runs much easier

I've been thinking about this as well.. Makes sense.. 

 

@TempestCatto If there's a premium for this board over the C8H, which there most likely will be, I don't see a point in it (unless there's features we don't know about yet).. You already have to get a waterblock and monoblocks (full size) aren't THAT much more..

Aorus line up will use actual high end vapor chamber copper heatpipes on the chipset to ditch that ridiculous tiny fan all the others went with, that alone is a selling point.

I wonder what price these boards are going to come in at?

Expect a higher price tag on almost every board compared to the Z390 alternatives.. Even more if these chips are great overclockers..

That's exactly what I'm thinking, I've been planning to do a new build once new hardware was announced, I was excited to see how competitive AMD is being with pricing of their CPU's compared to Intel but I have a feeling the MOBO's were going to make up the difference.

I'm sure there will be options for most budgets , especially when B550 is released..

I'm going top of the line, Asus Crosshair VIII Formula. And getting pretty antsy about it in the meanwhile.

 

Gigabyte is attractive, but I have no respect for a company that can't bother to hire one low-rent person to keep their [presently] asinine website up-to-date. So F them. Respectfully.

They are all good just go by preference I think.  Or looks.
